RE: On Hard Work and Good Fortune | Book Club: Lessons Learned #4

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Doing the right thing is always the right thing resonates with me. It is far easier to tell the truth than lie. It is easier to be kind and caring than mean. It is easier to go out of your way to be polite than be rude.

I have learned in my life that the greatest currency is our time. That is why it is so important to help people and share the knowledge and things you have. Anything I have not come by honestly has not been enjoyable to me and I end up not wanting it. I never buy lottery tickets because I want to earn what I have.

This is a great lesson. I try to teach people by being a good example. That is better than gold!

Thank you for sharing and thank you for being generous with your newly acquired Steem Power. I have truly enjoyed interacting.

PS. I just looked up Gary Vaynerchuk. A very interesting guy!

Just want to start off by saying thank you for your continued support and valuable comments! I really appreciate you taking the time to read and interact with my posts! I totally agree, our greatest currency and asset is our time. Its a fixed supply, while money is something you can always make. People spend their whole lives trading time for money and doing things that they hate... It pains me to see so many family members and friends who are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s who have spent their entire lives working a meaningless job just for the paycheck. That's why Steemit means so much to me, it's truly a way for anyone to make a living doing what they love and are passionate about! Which is another reason why I appreciate you so much @sequentialvibe, your support is what makes my dreams possible. Thank you ❤️

Gary Vaynerchuk is my favorite youtuber/motivational speaker/marketer/entrepreneur ever... He's so talented at everything he does and the way he can articulate his thoughts is mesmerizing to me and what I strive to be like. I hope you continue to follow him as well, he not only has great thoughts on how to grow your business, but he's also on a mission to teach everyone how to be a better person!

Thanks back to you for listening to and commenting on my perspectives. I have seen a lot of people get lost in the money pit where they work so hard, become depressed, spend recreationally to feel better, get unhealthy, need more money because they are in debt, and become a slave to their jobs

By spending less, I don't have to make as much! Disciplined spending makes sense.

I then have more time to work out, make my own food, ferment stuff and continue to learn. Steemit is a growing part for me in all that! I can see you are no stranger to positive lifestyle discipline.

I am going to follow Gary's YouTube channel.
