Topic: Do not overwork yourself (Read 623 times)

That's the lyrics mate, take some breaks to rest when you've felt that exhausted ness so that you can be able to structure with new and better ideals with the potentials to bring a more better outcome. Humans ain't robots so let's always understand that the necessity to rest is regenerating energies for a new or further episodes of life.

You are absolutely correct, although is not really our fault,
We are trying to maintain our financial stability because if we don't do that, nobody will do it for us but it's also essential not to overwork ourselves for many reasons like our wellbeing etc, if we overwork ourselves we will fall sick which we will still our money to treat ourselves, we won't be healthy to work in order to save money and put food in our table, that is why there is online business, so we are encouraged to have online business as a side hustle incase the other did not favour us or we can't continue with it again, we have online business where we can work from home and anytime we like we work, even if we don't work everyday no body will question us, and it also give us time to spend with our loves ones, also it allows us to relax, which is very important to our health and it gives us peace of mind. So we shouldn't use for the sake of the way this country is and the pressure in it, to overwork ourselves, we should always remember that " HEALTH IS WEALTH"  we have to stay healthy and fit in order for us to work.

OP, for peso to be able to utilize their body system for old age via becoming fit in handling things depends on how the use their youthful energy in doing.

At peso youthful age, it is expected of you to have the right frame of mind, invest, work intelligent, drink excess water and have some exercises twice a week or so. You can't fail in doing so and expect your old age to be rosey for where you go d dey, dey enjoy. it is not that way. Anything wey you supposed achieve na for your youthful time and if you miss am, na for old age you go suffer am.

Na why everyone is been advised to hustle and at the same time work intelligently, exercise and eat healthy food. No go carry highness kill yourself because enjoyment no d finish for this life. Peso gats to think of their old age

After reading some previous thread I found out we can simplify the topic into  work smart method rather than working hard without any tangible result. Even if you're working smart you will have to put in more effort when necessary to achieve your aim and goal.
This very word seem to make some persons lazy, feel comfortable and also underperform. We shouldn't in any way give room for Mediocrity because you don't want to overwork yourself, if we can't live the lifestyle we want then no need to stay stuck with this bullshit.

In essence let your health be a priority, work  till you achieve your goal don't relent and keep feeding yourself with unnecessary motivation that won't yield any result. As far as, you know that your efforts will surely yield result overtime and it doesn't in anyway affect your health work your ass off. The successful people we see with result, went extra mile to make there dreams into reality, they overwork themselves at certain level. A timber man works tirelessly (overwork) , with little or no result to prove, likewise a Manager of a company that spend extra time working, creating and analysing means for the growth of the company, it same overwork but the difference is the channel to which those energy, strength and ideas go. So you choose carefully for yourself or remain stucked.

We're here for the money but going extra length to work without appropriate guard is out of control. Accepts our fate and quit any side hustle that makes us overworked ourselves in the system. If there's something you should stop is overworking yourself because our health comes first despite the huge earnings we're able to secure, of what use are these huge figures accumulated without us having a sound health? So we should always take good care of our health and visits the hospital once or twice a month for all round body checkup.

Yes o don't over stress your self in work , nothing come out ,can u imagine some people will climb palm tree cult it over work them self yet nothing come out ,ever since I grow I always tell God to help me let me not kill my self in anything work stress, because nothing is absolutely 100%okay why killing my self in work

You will die and the same work that kill you will still be available
I told one of my brother to resign in a very hard work he was doing ,he accepted he went for leave and came back again still in that same work,before two weeks he came back the heart start paining him ,he was rush to the hospital,the doctor confirm that his heart has damaged , finally he died ,only God knows that too much work is not too much money,and I can't work any where that will be eating my flesh God forbid it

I like the topic ,do not overwork yourself,so that your days will be long.
Fast death associates with too much hard work

Im this life you come and you go. So do what makes you happy that is all that matters. If overworking makes your comfortable and feel like you have been productive then dont stop it. Normally there is nothing that dont have a disadvantage and advantage. Just kike any other thing overworking have some advantages in ones life. Because you are putting extra time to what you are doing and this can yield maximum result for any business, work or creation. It has repercussion as well which is the disadvantages but if you are willing to accept it and you fell happy then continue.

Yes, over working one's self is not the right solution, being hardworking and smart is, we should also read the differences. Like our people say "Body no be firewood" it gets to a point where the body shutdown and in that state the person gets incapacitated to carry out the functions so instead we should limit our work done.

A total over work of an individual depends on the philosophy of life that individual conceives in the society he/ she inhabits. A life at sixties (60s) is an age of preparation towards retirement. So, at best, issues such as; shelter, children's education and permanent source of foods have been resolved. Mostly the children are self dependent and supportive in life.
So, at the age of seventies (70s) and beyond, it's the children who would provide the person in question about 70% of his/her needs.
But in the African continent, Nigeria in particular, the aged parents still carry the entire burdens of members of a household including grandchildren. So the issue of over work is very much visible on the part of the aged ones.
Therefore, there are cases of system breakdown leading to hormonal imbalance, weak erection, strokes, diabetes and several others.
This is due to the pursuit of money in all ramifications especially at odds hours with out rest and restraint.

Overworking oneself doesn't make you rich. It may even add to ones problem. Imagine you over work yourself and later fall sick, the money earn will later be spend on the sickness. Getting right information to grow your business and learning to manage your daily expenses can be the key ways to cope with the present hardship instead of overworking yourself.

Na true talk say body no be firewood, yes we need money to carry survive because say no be won carry last and hunger fit kill us but no mean say even if our body no strong, we still dey work make e no be say na our own na e bad pass or fear of wentin people go talk, money dey before dey born us, money go still dey if we still die so if we sick now, nobody go help us, even if dey help it only takes the grace of God to be fine so make we no do pass ourselves or do to impress anybody.

First of all, you have to know the meaning of retirement, which means the age where you need some rest because you are already growing to the old age in life, and if you leave long, you must encounter this issue of retirement. That is just the truth, but the main thing is to find a fine solution to the issue, which is by working smart. That is a solution from my angle of perception because if you work smart, you will create a plan for yourself after retirement, which is what many find hard to do, but if you are a person who works with passion and is ready to work smart, you will always have a plan after retirement.
 
Retirement simply means you are tired, but even though you are tired, you also have some needs that you will need to clear without the help of someone else, so there are many strategies that need to be followed to be successful after retirement. 

The thing be say because of the struggles for the belle Kingdom e dey very hard to actually meet person wey still get time to really acknowledge these vital notes about our  health concerns because truth be told it's of the most vital importance and if we no dey careful to know this then all the repercussions na for our old age we go still enjoy am because e no go dey normal when we don exhaust and distabilize our body at young age and then come face breakdown.

No offence, but I think this thread was way to short to convey the message you had to spread. Anyways, from the brief details, I get that people of this age spend their health on their money and then spend their money on their health. That's sad, but it's what one should do to survive isn't it. We just have to balance out health and out finances. There are many people out their who are successful without health issues. We can also be like them, cause we really d need to work hard towards our goal. Imagine being mediocre cause you couldn't add an extra hour or at least 30 mins to the little you have to do. That's definitely not what we want for ourselves.

So, let's us work hard and also take care of ourselves

Overworking oneself is not good health wise but in this current economic hardship with the high cost of living it creates a necessity to over working oneself but however it should be done in a strategic manner. Strategic in the sense that, after a long period of overworking we should create a space for rest, taking a leave to go for a bed rest. Today, me I no fit blame anybody wey the over work their body, some persons no get helper na them be their own helper and if them no work like that with all the responsibility surroundings them, them fit no meet up.

With the way the country be like this, my brother only source of income no go fit meet your needs oo so I no go fit blame anybody wey say em wan over work emself up because things don change. If you no double hustle how you wan take survive na, e no easy for anybody oo na why people don dey enter as many business as possible just to make sure say dem put food for table. Everyday naim the cost of living they increase.

Long time ago I saw an old man hawking on the road, I felt so bad although my the journey, a trip I was supposed to be happy because I was going to explore places but I never felt happy after seeing this old man. then my mentor noticed how I felt and what he told me took the best part of me and I can't ever forget that. he said, boy.... you see him, if you don't kill the pleasures of your youth days and make it life, you will probably hawk same way.

So, from that day I prefer to work harder than my age, my time etc life is better at your youthful age and you must use that time of your life to work so hard in order for you never to suffer.

what I'm saying essence is you can skip sleep today but it will never kill you. you better work harder than yourself now than do at old age.

   You are absolutely right there about health being wealth, some people underrate their  health, constantly putting their lives at risk, just to make fun. I have seen some twitter videos where young boys set thier selfs in fires just for the TikTok views. I don’t see inflicting pain on yourself anything fun. The body is just like every other engine it becomes rusty when you don’t service the engine, same things implies to our body. Our body needs all the rest it can get, we can’t cheat Mother Nature, Stress is responsible for 75 to 90 percent of visits to primary care physicians. Stress contributes to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, premature aging and a number of autoimmune diseases.Depression and anxiety also are common responses to chronic stress and fatigue. Big goals require good health. Taking it down a notch may in fact help you get where you’re going without having a breakdown along the way.
   If you are going without sleep and drinking 12 cups of coffee and four energy drinks a day to do your job, you are setting yourself up for physical collapse. Adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night (yes, 7 to 9 hours, not 4 to 5) to get truly restorative sleep.Yes, some people can do with less. But don’t fool yourself into believing you are one of them if you are chronically exhausted. If you don’t think you have time to sleep those “extra” few hours a night:, consider that you will be more productive, smarter, and more creative if your brain has the sleep it needs.

Some people think making money is by working day and night, them fail to know that health is wealth.  When the body is so stresses up it breaks down and when it happens like this their won't be energy to go after money , you can even spend all your money if time is not taking to put yourself in a better condition.  I know  hustling for money is very good but it is important people have understanding of taking good care of themselves.

Without even much preaching, we all know that there isn’t any need to over works oneself by the truth is that in most cases we are left with no choice but to over work ourselves and even this over work most time isn’t just all about physical works but also mental work and we should try to maintain balance in all spheres of life so as to be able to maintain the other phases.

I don’t know for other countries but my country didn’t provide any favorable conditions for the common man and with the current situation of the country, it seems the government is against seeing the common man living a good and health life but derives pleasures in the pains and sufferings of the common man which isn’t supposed to be so in an Advancing country like mine

Over working yourself is too bad, because it will affect everything about you mentally and physically at the end of the day you spend all the money on drugs.and  you go and start all over  without any money on you,just do yours best and leave the rest

To much hard work no really dey good for our health at all,  make we no dey take the way things dey say make we kill our self with to much hard work, some people no dey even care about there health weting Dem just dey after all day and night na work without noing that to much stress is not good to our health.
In all we do regarding our daily struggle to survive we shouldn't forget that health is wealth.

For this kind life wey we dey live now, e be like say we don forget sey health important. E dey very important make we find balance between making money and taking care of our health, especially as we dey old. Make we put fitness and wellbeing on top agenda so we fit enjoy better retirement and dey active as we old. E dey important make we dey spend on top our health from now till we old, so we fit enjoy better retirement and achieve our other life goals well well.

Well every man owe himself that obligation of meeting up personal needs which at some point people act uncontrollably as to this regards, your survival is solely your responsibility no one cares but however one need to balance up things as time goes on your life, some people misplaced priority doing what they are supposed to have done at a particular point in their life. Balancing up things like the things you do taken care of your health, the nature of work and timing, you can't be overly doing a work without considering your health, or how about an elderly person doing a work that meant for a younger person, you have to work and also take good care of your health.

E get one talk way people dey always talk say body no be fire wood that simply means that what ever work you are doing in this life always have period for retirement so you can also have some other energy to do any other of your daily schedules, now you will not use because you want to meet up in life and die for nothing due to you want to meet  up by over working your self nothing dey this life.
I know of people that don't over work there self but still leave comfortably why because they are working smart and not hard through what technology has brought us.

As a health professional, a nurse in precise I really concur to what you said, most people do not actually prioritize their health over other things but the fact is that in our country now, with the way things are going nobody would what to spend on their health they would see it as a waste, don't get me wrong, you could say they can do little stretch in the morning or maybe take a couple of naps but men of this our generation are now wired to make money by all means and also with the way the country is going, no one would want to be a liability to his or her household so everyone keeps hustling neglecting their health.

The only thing is that I hope one day Nigeria gets better and everyone somehow, someday get what they want and what they dream of. Thanks.

Honestly I don't think one should continue to work all the days of his or her life while advancing one should be make provisions for his last days where he can sit down not stress much and  make a living
So I honestly think it's all about planning for the future

Then chase after the money now at your youthful age that you are energymatic so you don't stress your old age up still on the cost of Helter skelter to keep live going.
Your Old age time need rest and your youthful age determines such state of your aging.

Make I yarn you something for here. E no dey easy as person dey age, so make we shine our eye well when we dey plan for retirement and how we wan dey find money as we old.
First thing, we gats make sure say we dey take care of our bodi well from early. Exercise, chop good food, and sleep well so dat we fit dey okay as we dey grow.
Second, we suppose save money, invest well, like how dem dey do Dis One wey dem dey call "Dollar Cost Averaging" and e good make we hold some Bitcoin too. E go help us secure our money for old age.
Third matter be say we fit look for other ways wey no too stress our bodi for money as we dey old. Make we find hustle wey no go too hard for us.

At the end of the day, we gats balance how we wan make money with how we dey take care of our bodi. E go help us enjoy life sotay we old.

Chasing income should not be stopped at this younger age when we know we have the strenght to get to a greater height. If you are rich now you dont have to worry about when your old because you have the money to take good care of yourself. When that time comes we will still be looking fresh and strong. Dont stop in the process because your reserving your strenght for the old times

The worst scenario I have seen most times is that of telling those resting that they are lazy or unbothered.
A man is generally meant to till the land and eat from sweat, but the notion to rest as our creator rested on the seventh day is a peak advice for optimum performance in any area of life and career endeavor.

Rest, take naps, take power naps as ways to remain sharp, maintain a healthy heart and in turn, health, as well as complete more task and come up with better ideas.

Most geniuses that existed before our generation was born like Albert Einstein, was known to rest a lot. Since rest doesn't necessarily mean to sleep and have dreams, by simply playing the violin during rest periods, our boy genius, Albert remained as sharp and came up with principles that have led to ground breaking inventions and innovation today.

Health is wealth, please always remember that when you encounter choke points where thinking is impossible. Know it's time to rest, afterall, if we die while overworking, we get replaced and life goes on, and if there were any dependants, they simply suffer due to the negligence of rest while working to make for them a better life.

That's one thing about life you can't cheat nature, when we work beyond our strength it is important to give a break continuing and stressing yourself to work more it can make you breakdown totally but people fail to give attention to their body instead they would prefer to continue working because of they want to make more money . Health is wealth, we need to take care of our health to be strong to look for more money but when you are down you won't have the strength to go after money. Instead you can end up spending all the money you have.

My thread here is to inspire wellbeing of healthy conditions of our people who are deep out there hustling tirelessly to stay alive including those are striving to living luxurious lifestyles in our society and the globe today in our society and not just users in this platform or forum as you Said that are concerned about this.
Moreover why anyone in this forum even have Such above influences and still have to take care of their health on a negotiation if paying later as w cause of not being financially bouyant in that main time? That is one of it, there is no spare to life so lets value it as much as we can afford. You don't have to position yourself at the high personality that is not stable to your affordability. @Zanab247, economically do you know that taking a prior to your health saves you more expenses towards your health because it could help to manage the possibilities of you falling Ill and saves you the expenses for healings. Don't forget that prevention is better than cure. So you don't boost to be careless to your health because you have enough to replace yourself with a good health.
Work and hustle consciously to keep a healthy life and manage the stresses of your old ages.

   It is even proven that taking rest  enhances the body system not only does it expand your life. Taking rest from work too is also essential this is why in some organizations they allow thier employees to go on leave.  The “leave” is the break worker take from work for a short period of time. Some people may decide to go on vacation if they want some might want to  use the period for resting. The breaks helps refresh the mind and brain allowing it to be more creative and productive.
   After all we had always known the saying that goes “ all work and no pay makes jack a dull boy “  they us a reason why this phrase means something. So you see one need to get rest from work, it’s us essential and good for the business.

Although is good to work but one shouldn't over labour himself/herself. Being healthy is one of the key to richness. Being healthy makes you think and act better. Over labour weaken ones thinking ability leaving you with the only believe that one can't make it if you don't work extra hard.

One important topic to take seriously in life,has they may say life has no duplicate.once you over labour your self you might brake down,if not now later when old age has come.cause all you nerves must have been weak because when you were young you have stressed the nerves so hard without rest so when is time to rest your nerves most have been weak to activate.

if you're able to moderate what you're doing and how you go about combining your work and taking good care of yourself and your health, then over working wouldn't be a serious problem. Would you rather prefer to stress out now and get the needed things right or you would prefer to sleep while you should be working and hustle while all your mate have retired and are having the best of times with their grand children?

I believe their is time for everything and that's the reality. You have to hustle while you still have your strength and when the time comes you will have enough time to rest and play as much as you can.

It's only bad when youre just working without paying attention to your current health problems. You need to work, occasionally take some break, give yourself some sweet treatment and then cone back to re fire. That's how it goes. You literally rest in the grave so just get used to it.

To overwork or over stress the body e no good oo but Omo when some people seat down reason say they no get money they no get who go give them that money them go get no choice than to work a little bit harder and by so doing the body go dey tire human being body dey like engine when you don too use the engine or when the engine don too work e fit break down na why you go see some people dey sabi sick some people na because of the way they don stress their selves na why them dey sick sick like that

My philosophy right now is that if I work once, I will rest twice meaning less work, more rest. I believe in the power of stress and what it can negatively impart on human life especially as a young person who is working and not having enough time to rest or eat properly.

Because one thing that lack of resr causes to you is that it will give you a bad eating habit because you'll be missing your normal eating pattern the way you should be, thereby, resulting to health problems and that's why these days you'll find cases around heart attack, depression, high blood pressure and others amongst.

Even though one do not use to get rest the way you want it, that should not be a yardstick to why you should restrain yourself from getting enough rest when you have the slightest opportunity to rest. I rest by sleeping, playing with kids and watching of films.

Just as much as that, it should be noted that health is wealth. Yes, it is crystal clear that the nature of our economy is based on survival of the fittest but yet, we should we should get it right that only when healthily fitted that we can firmly chase after the bread of tastiness in as much as it is a race of lives for the livings.
The story that some person's have foods but can't eat and some person's needs food to eat should be explanatorily understood that good health is a treasure which we would be be carefully handled.
Minimizing the overpressures in our hustles especially in the sectors of the man power demands is worth putting to considerations.

In this country, the bills are increasing so you just have to look for a means of earning, so that you don't disappoint yourself you will always want to meet your expectations and is not as if those people overworking themselves are deliberately doing it don't they have just do it. because you must eat, and the situation of the country now is looking as if everyone is on their own. and every person in this country is looking for better ways to be financially free, or even if you are not completely free, to be able to settle bills I love the dedication that the youths of this country come with, they love hustling, when you go to streets and you see what is happening then you your self will be motivated to actually put more effort.

Asides Hard Work and people wey them born with silver spoon, e get other ways, I mean so many ways to make ends meet for this country, the same way hard works dey, na so soft works plenty too, just that those people wey dey kill themselves with hard works never really dey inclined, them never get the necessary knowledge wey them supposed get. Some of them na because them don already dey used to those hard works and them Believe say na the fastest way to make money. E get plenty other soft works both online and offline wey people go fit do, wey no go too stress them come affect them for old age wey people go fit do, so the fact say most people dey do hard work no really mean say them no get any other choice again, na also because say them never really dey exposed to the knowledge wey go give them access to those soft works.

Normally now so, is meant to be but it's impossible because the nature of things in our nation no give room for such because person wey see food for table they relax because food dey but where hunger dey hammer you, you can't relax ooo. The truth still  matter how man go hustle been alive to enjoy the struggle is the must important, we really adjust the hustle to balance our health as OP point out let their be some time for rest.

I agree with you that people still dey live in the past, I know say to dey successful no be small thing at all, the thing be say e dey easy to talk then done but no matter what planning is also part of been successfull, normally when we dey small we go they find money in anyway to just take survive both in the easy way and in hard way, I believed one thing everybody for this world get talent different from each other, some people discover their own at earliest stage of life while some well discovered through too much hustle then later they will know it, some na people go even tell them say why you know go for so so and so maybe it will be best for you, and immediately the person started that he will start seeing thing easy and progress.

I met a young guy who is younger than me, he dey do all kinds of hard work to survive and unfortunately he started telling me his story that all his body have damaged due to hard labour, suddenly when he was telling me the story a guy approach us and started talking to him about dry cleaner, then I asked him that do you do dry cleaner? Which he answered me yes, then I said why can't you continue with it, ha said he need Capital to fund the business and since I didn't have anything to give him I adviced him to saved from the money he earn through the hard labour his doing.

We get the message but it also depends on the area of specification and the type of work you do , not everyone do works that can break their body down to the extent of having effect in their Old age Life in the future and moreover the nature of country and financial state almost makes it impossible for one to not everly  over work themselves.

The country system is bastardized what one needs to is just be patient focus on your dream if there is no work yet you can employ your self be in your place work not a place where someone will be ordering you around making you to over stress your self is better one start up with something is better to move slow than to remain stagenat.

You see life fear am because you never can tell what would happen within the next hour or minutes but as a Nigeria we know say our blood no be the same as other people wey dey away if we use our body compare their own we go still last and live stronger pass them because even our weather self reach to affect person. No be alone go affect you when you old but the things around us dey affect us if we talk about government e no get head but yet e still dey favor other people for the country we be so.

The best thing a man fit do is to be self employment, maybe one get him own company or business wey him dey run and manage at old age him fit retire keep him children there to they help am looks things than say you wan work for government or firm.

There are some things we are suppose to stop at some certain time, but we also have to know that, due to hardship in the country, if you stop those things you might not be able to make earnings to survive, so you don’t just have choice to continue the work. Most of the hard works have age limit, the amount you are suppose to be paid when you are still young, if accumulated, then you should be able to save enough money that’s going to sustain you even after retirement, but all the hard works in this country are underpaid, you will only get the money you will be using for survival on a daily basis, so if you fit stop, then you are going broke immediately, because you no go get any better savings keep.

Most people age no match their physical appearance, and all na because of say dem don too use themselves, so if we dey do hard work, make we try establish even if na small business wey we go depend on if we don dey old, and make we make sure say we dey chop well, I know say country no easy, but make we try eat well, and make we no play with our health, dem they talk say health is wealth.

.

People just think they need to work based on the level of challenges they have forgetting that life is the ultimate thing if u overwork and eventually die from stress then of wat use is the overworking to you people should learn how to put their pressure under control  and balance there work life in order to stay alive

Well for me. The slogan for niga(kw gree for anybody)dn dy already do plenty negative things.see as person way I kw. Use this slogan(kw gree for anybody)go buy problem for himself.people for niga suppose use this slogan do better thing for their life.because I kw go lie, many ppl need orientation of waiting this slogan really mean,before ppl go Mis use am oo.Na for everybody good the slogan comes out for. Kw be to cause trouble!!

But this country if you know overwork yourself how you won't carry make am now just imagine the great thing you don't cost if you no get money you no go fit even pay your house rent na if make na way you day young you need to work hard the worst part only one politician go thief money we go feed 100 people we don't know when this country go good but we believe say God go send help come

It is very good to have rest after some long period of work Nigerians have a parable saying ( body no be firewood). Many people has misunderstood this parable some lazy ones now are using this parable as an excuse, this parable no say make u kill urself work the way ur body fit carry some people because of greed too much love for money them no go examine Dem self before Dem do work last last if e no favour their body system them go say Omo body no be firewood Omo work oo. So many old men and women suffer today because of lack of planning some as a result of youthful lavishing, enjoyment and now nothing to hold.

E no go dey nice say at my old age I still dey work for person or find very hard work to do we this generation we Dom learn a lot so make we try put am to practice. In conclusion work now wey ur body strong make u no come dey worried of wetin to put for mouth wen u old, forget money belle na one of the most things wey dey cause some trouble for the society today take precautions take advantage of ur youthful age Bible sef talk am ( I will do the work of he that sent me while it is day, cause the night cometh when no man can work ).

Ah swears bro. Toake am for this we country no be by hardwork oh if not aboki wey push truck for don blow since or Okada men, brick layers road side mechanics and many other job wey be hard work but na the smart once dey achieve more better things than the hardworking people.

In everything you do,always consider your health and mental state of mind,because you don?t have a good health or mental state of mind you won?t be able to achieve what you desire and want.and if you tend to force your self ,it will end up with a regret,just imagine how many Nigeria will be so annoyed seeing the phone battery low,it?s same as human health.we should try to do checks up to keep the body moving to function well

The point be say some people still dey live in the past. Them dey feel say na to work till night go make dem rich, dem feel say na to do physical jobs wey dem need strength and energy do be the important thing, some brag with their muscle and how dem get power reach while people don leave dat kind of thought and working smart. If you over labour your self omo the level of depreciation no be here own because body go tell you even among your mate wey dey live right and eat well. Na to work smart be the thing, aim for jobs wey you go work small and collect plenty money 

Actually wetin you talk na true but na the situation of our country be dat, person go work for 35 years and after that they will turn to begger, while some of them who don't want to beg choose another way for themselves which is to use their strength if possible to get best for their family, each parents have their duty to perform even though they are out of service if really they want to be respected by the family and other people around him, I know people normally say making it is not all about working hard which I believe that statement but still hard working pay, it just about how each and everyone of us make, definitely our way of making money is different from each other and quiet alright income generating will also be different that why we can't blame anyone for their hard work because it all about grace of God that we make it more than each other, So seeing someone working hard at his old age is not that he doesn't have plans maybe that one na him destiny and everyone destiny is handle and build by God not by our making or plan, so in this life if yours is planned well don't look down on other, you are just lucky to be favor by God, and always know that the wealth is not made for you alone so be helpful to other who come to you for assistance especially your family members.

Some people believe they can only make it by working hard. Over stressing oneself doesn't guarantee riches. If hard working us only the key then the labourers should be the riches. Just has OP has said, our health is highly important as we move out everyday to pursue wealth. Let's try not to over- stress ourself so that we won't fall a victim of sickness later.

I read one thread for economics board wey person been dey talk something like this. I like the reply wey one guy sama for the thread. He say e go rather enjoy him youthful self than to toil for him youth to enjoy for old age. Omoh I think the thing well well. Retirement age for government work na 65 years so na from that time you go fit collect your gratuities so you fit start to enjoy life. Wetin you won enjoy at 65 when sickness dey corner dey observe. Children sef go dey disturb you for your gratuity wey you suppose enjoy. I nor fit live that kind life. As I dey work, I dey ball cause when children and extended family bills go come, as a man you go dey forget to take care of yourself because you dey take care of everybody else.

What about person wey no get money to attend to him cost of living, you no go espect am to mind him body when starvity and bills much for am. Personally, me I just believe say na now wey we still young and strong na him we get chance to lay better financial freedom against our retirement age, e go dey very bad to see person wey suppose don retire dey drag job opportunity just to make sure him survive. Na now the work dey to begin invest inside our future before old age or retirement age.

We have to understand that every person that is working always has a retirement time where s/he needs to rest after so many years of working because when they are age it would surely affect their life's and ways of reasoning and thinking. Always working on retirement plan helps to shaping up our life by strengthen us without any bad life challenging, but pesin supposed dey always plan themselves so that dem no go die on time.

Like the white man will always say that health is wealth, the wey some of they take hustle for money we just do it as if tomorrow no dey. We don't even think about the future if the stress we are taking we really affect our health when we get advance and this can end up to be problem which we can't even solve with money.  Sometimes let us consider our health,  life is not just about pursuit for money because if we do more than our strength and develop one illness, the money we have gathered won't be seen as anything to us.

mehn! It's difficult to to control yourself as long as you're making money out of what you're doing oh. Normally we all know that health is necessary but as the country hard like eh, anything when you de do when we bring money come your table, people de wan hold am tight and follow am up as e de hot make after some time them no hear say the money no de come from that source again oh.

Another thing you should also understand is that old age will certainly come and you wouldn't have this strength that you have now to hustle when it finally comes and for that reason, so many persons see it as a necessity to use this moment when they are still young to hustle and invest into as many things as they can so they can retire early and wouldn't need to work till their fifties or sixties.

My advice is that if you're still very young, probably in your twenties, use that period to work and creat reasonable investment oh, if you too reason your health too much na that time when sickness go even come board oh, no be like say you go kill yourself say you de work hard but just no allow any form of satisfaction say you don get small money make you relax boss, de fire down stil de take one or two drugs when go help strengthen your system so you fit de more productive.

E no go de bad if you retire at 40 oh.

One good reason why some old men wey don reach retirement age and still dey work, na result of poverty or lack of tangible job wey person them fit carry feed themselves. Naim dey cause that kind thing. If life they go the way people dey plan am, you go see say people no go dey work reach that age.

The thing is that our society today has made money a statue. The society attributes extreme importance to money. It's like it's either money or nothing. And for people to get that money, they have to work twice as hard, having little time for self care.

Is like you don't really know the kind of people that are in this forum Op, those guys you see here don't joke with their health when they have the money at hand and even though they don't have the money at the moment but there are some places they can go to receive free treatment and pay the hospital later when money come because they knew such people very well.

Well, if there is anybody who just focus on profit making without considering of his or her health, he or she is doing his or her self because if anything happen to such people other people will be the one to enjoy his or her labour but such cases will not be our portion.

Op, what you said is true but this part of the world has made it impossible for some people to just give a break when it come to versatile hustle, when people look their retirement benefits and the delay in the entitlement, they tend to see if the can do more work aside the one they are enrolled at so that they can make more savings for themselves, this country has placed people in different difficulties though it is not good for one to over work themselves but it isn't easy to abide by that, Nigeria don't consider retirees much, no doubt there is a stage in life when one needs to rest his body to avoid a difficult old age but in conclusion there are acts that is not intentional, most times life can bend humans to do things they are not suppose to do ordinarily. 

This is very common in Africa , most men At their old ages will still be struggling for one job or the other including the top government Personnels who are supposed To retire for the younger generation To take over .

Inarguably , there is factually time for everything , time To be employed And time to retire So that your days on earth will be longer , the truth here is that Most old men die these days as a result of stress , High blood pressure or low blood pressure , So many of them will also Choose to stay back in the City even when they are very old till they die .
 
Furthermore, most of them are also busy chasing after money and not considering their health conditions and age factors which those stress might in one way or the other result to degenerative diseases and mental imbalance such as loss of memory .

If we can always remember that some people have been into whatsoever thing we are doing in the past and their time and season has passed, we are now in a new era and those that are interested in doing anything in life should always consider the past and those that have been into it and where it landed them into, we need to be careful about our health due to the nature of the kind of work we do, we must also not over worked ourselves because because of getting worn out, we can't afford to be young in age and be looking older than our real age because of how we use our body to work.

Op no to blame people, wey dey do hard work to survive for Naija because e no easy for them. For Naija, if you no from a rich family, just know say you are in for yourself; nobody is coming to help you out with your financial needs. If them no hustle for themselves na hunger go just send them go early grave because them no dey get help from anywhere.

What you said is right, the country we found ourselves makes us to over work ourselves due to hardship, so in this kind of situation we just have to try to strike a balance between our working hours and our resting hours.
I really don't have an issue with over working myself, what I really have an issue with is not having a proper rest after all the work and stress, we should always create time for ourselves for resting because even God in heaven rest on the seventh day after creation, so if the maker of all things rest, who are you not to rest, unless you want to break down at some point due to too much work and no rest.

We all know that ain't right to over work oneself. But you won't blame them is due to the system of this our country because if you don't try and keep up over working your self won't be the issue but not able to keep up with ones expenses and would initially endangered your health. For instance now you can see the way food stuff has become so expensive and also with most things you need to survive. So you can see that this country has already made it that to keep up with the system you got to over with your self.
But still health is wealth, aslong there's life there's hope so always put your health as a priority too.

Utilize your body for retirement so that you can fit in to handle your other phases in life of chasing income at your depreciations of man-power to activeness.
So many people are too eager uncontrollably chasing after income without undermining their ages and so as considering the health fitness of themselves at ages.
