Have you ever seen a tree that has a stem, branches, leaves, fruits but no roots? I don’t know if some scientist have done that in their labs or not. One thing I know is, unless it is artificially made in a lab someday, the only means for a tree to bring forth fruits is to have its root deep in a firm ground. There are a lot of people today who are faced with this dilemma today and they are trapped. Once they get a job, the people around them expect something. They expect you get them some nice wrist watch for them as a gift and sometimes expected to pay the bill instead of splitting it at the bar.
One thing I know and believe just as I believe everyone needs oxygen to survive is the fact that money needs to be well invested for one gain financial freedom. Paying for the bill at the bar is really nice but if we are to do it every weekend as we meet up, we can never get to where we want to go. It sounds like being ungrateful but if you were to carefully take this issue into thinking, we’d realize how much we are throwing away.
If we dream of being impactful in a positive way to our society one day then we have got to save and invest our money consistently over a period of time and when the time comes for us to support, we would be able to bear the right fruits. It is hard but as usual, the easy road doesn’t pay dividends in the end.
