RE: Luck Is a Matter of Perspective

in #story7 years ago

Great post,have never heard that story before but i totally get what you're going on about.
Only since my heart attack 2 years causing me to quit my job,have i started to realise that the world we live in and the current economical situation is going from bad to worse.I used to be quite happy going to work,paying my mortgage and believing everything i watched on the news and TV. But know i have spare time and i use it a lot more wisely,doing things that actually matter.

Sort:  

Sorry to hear that. What things started to matter most?

I started to realise that i was spending too much time working. I was going in early,staying late ,working Saturday and Sundays . All this time away from my family and friends,just to earn extra money to buy things that have little value,or no real use. At one point in time the childcare i was paying for,was more expensive than my mortgage. It's crazy when i think about how much money iv'e actually spent and how little i have to show for it.
I'm concerned about the future for my children and i'm worried about the education they receive. It's worrying that the education system doesn't prepare you for the real world. It gives a biased view on the economical problems created by mankind.

Indeed, modern education is rather bullshit. If I ever have kids I will advice them to get certifications from online classes rather than spending to much valuable time in school.

All best to you and your family.
