Topic: Isn't it all about money? - page 14. (Read 3030 times)

It is actually more about survival... and the money enable you to survive and even to thrive.

We were placed on this earth to "enjoy life"... you can do this by earning a small wage and paying for the bare neccesities and still enjoy life.

Other people might decide to try harder and not just to survive, but to thrive. They work hard, earn a good salary, get a better education and live in luxury.

We make that decision for ourselves and we live with that... we do not have to compare ourselves with other people and if they judge us for something that we decided, then that is their problem.

"It's your Life"

Even if life is more emphasised on money, making more knowledge is also very important because when you say you will just look for the money and forget the knowledge, that means you won’t get rich unless it is lucky, because when you have the money without knowledge of specking and writing, who will do that for you? Or let’s say you will employ someone to do that for you. How sure are you that he will not cheat you? And again, our wealth will be limited because you will not have any expectations to know about bitcoin. Someone who doesn’t have any knowledge of school aspects will find it hard to understand how cryptocurrency works. 

To cut all the long discussion short, I will say that without knowledge, even if you get the money, you won’t utilise it the way it is supposed to be utilised, so knowledge is also important because being illiterate is like a disease that the only cure is having knowledge. 

Money may be the ultimate goal, but money is not everything because money can be lost/run out at any time, but we can use ways to make money all the time.
I agree that process/knowledge is more important than money.

In fact, knowledge and money must be at the top priority level to achieve success in business because if you don't have one of them then the business cannot be run.

Yes, life is more about money but you can't skip the process of how it's being done because if you do you will definitely don't have the right knowledge on how to go about it, which might make you loose everything, because in life knowledge is everything.

How can you be successful in making money when you actually don't know the process of making money? It might be what ever skill or craft, but in other for you to do it well and be successful, you need to learn, either through school if it's a professional course or a craft.

Let's look at it this way, if you own a business without the right knowledge of how the business is being run, how do you think that business can survive in difficult time? See it's very wrong to skip the learning process because if you do, in the nearest future you will surely pay for it due to incompetence or mismanagement of fund , because you were not trained or educated in the craft.

What kind of thinking is this? Every individual requires learning for their own good and not for anyone else. If you have the desire to learn something, you can take yourself anywhere. If you have less knowledge than others, you are only making it harder for yourself to earn money.

Money isnt everything when it comes to being successful or happy in life.  No doubt having enough dough in the bank takes care of a lotta worries, but only chasing the almighty dollar can lead to a hollow and unfulfilling life.  I get wanting a flashy lifestyle on the quick, but skipping the boring fundamentals is like building a mansion on quicksand - looks nice til life's storms hit and knock it down flat.

I get that some folks wonder what the heck we really learn in school.  Does it seem like stuff like math and science dont apply to the real world at all? And foreign languages - yeah, I get you dont technically need them if you are never planning to talk to anyone outside your country.  But keeping yourself boxed in like that leaves you pretty limited in life, right?  No harm in keeping an open mind rather than writing things off as useless just because they don't seem obviously practical at first glance.

Sometimes I always wonder, who is the person who created a concept like this, where "one has to go to school to get a decent job, and conversely, someone continues to work hard to earn money so they can send their children to school." Currently, it is as if those who go to school are being made into workers. So it is no surprise that those who take formal education continue to compete to get good grades without making any effort to deepen the knowledge they have learned. High grades and a piece of paper (diploma) have become the main priority, even worse, there are some who are unable to account for that piece of paper and the bachelor's degree they have obtained. So it is quite natural that those who have undergone formal education and have a bachelor's degree still do not have a job or have created a business that can provide income or money. Because they really don't understand the knowledge they have learned and are unable to apply it to their lives.


And based on this, it does not mean that education is not important. However, for all of you and anyone who is given the opportunity to take formal education and even go to college, then take advantage of that opportunity as much as possible, so that later after graduating from formal education you can become a better person and be able to "take responsibility" for the knowledge and degrees you obtain.

Making money requires knowledge, skill, and experience. You won't be able to achieve your goal of earning money if you don't take the necessary steps to educate yourself. You don't necessarily need to have a college degree, but knowledge is something that can be acquired through education. Everyone starts learning inside a school, and it's important to continue learning throughout your life to remain competitive in the workforce.

If you say money doesn't really matters then its your perspevice but in my expereince I definitely agree that money matter more than everything, you may even deaf and dumb but you have the skills of money making the world will praise you and who really cares if you can speak and understand english which isn't even a things to consider or related to knowledge. Most millionaires and few billionaires has very little or no knowledge about English communication skill but still they reached that position which all matters at the end.

It doesn't work that way. To earn money, you need to find a job and market yourself to potential employers. Your education is an important factor that employers consider when deciding if you are a good fit for the job. Additionally, your personal qualities and experience play a significant role in determining the value of the money you earn. It's important to remember that making money is not easy, and solely focusing on it may not lead to success.

But not all can make a lot of money if you are not a graduate or at least have a decent education? Those who succeeded are the 1% of the society.

I do agree though that in this lifetime, we need money, we need it to survived, not just for ourselves, but for our families as well. So it's not that complex, it's just a matter on how you are going to make money. Find a good job after graduation? You inherit riches from your parents? you are that 1% of the society and become successful? Life is unfair, but you have to make the most out of it.

I can't agree more with you, money is what that makes other people respect you, It is a hard reality but it is what it is, the thing that matters most to me in my religion is the way of making money should be a halal one. If one wants to make halal money he has many options, like becoming an engineer, doctor, trader, etc., etc. There are a lot of professions that can be selected by us. The things that most of the people consider before selecting the way are hardships, their time with their family, earnings, work time, bonuses, and facilities. There are less number of people who think about there old times.

Study is important if you wish to get a private or government job, even if you want to start your own business then a little knowledge of terms, and methods is not a bad thing, it will add more value to your business, but real-world lessons are what makes a person more knowledgable and we don't get to learn them in school or institutional studies.

Op, it is true that the mean purpose for the everyday struggles is to make money because without money most of the things we dream of can't be achieved but in your quest to make money it is also important you consider the importance of education because becoming educated doesn't stop you from making money rather it helps you to hustle and have edge over certain people through your certificate. Without having certain certificates you can still be making money but becoming educated you will understand certain ways to invest, you will have the opportunity of being in a better position if you are employed and you will have some good information and some technical knowledge how which someone who is not educated can't have that's why it's important to be educated even while hustling for money.

With money there are certain things an illiterate won't have and there are certain offices that such person can't occupy but without money and educated person will be respected and recognised hence he's degrees will speak for him and he also will be respected even though the money is not there, note, this is only possible in a country where things are working.

Learning from other people's success is what I want to convey. Part of the process we must do is learn from great role models. Success is not an easy road, and it would be good to hear their stories about how they managed to overcome obstacles and setbacks in every endeavor, and discover what elements made them so determined and confident to keep going despite the difficulties they faced. Absorbing other people's success can broaden your insight and be an eye-opener for moving forward.

And here I cannot deny that in reality there are still many people out there who, thanks to their tenacity, courage and ability, have achieved success without having to undergo formal education. However, everyone's desires, hopes, goals and preferences are different. Those who want to be successful in a particular field, such as politics or government, cannot achieve it without formal education. The most important thing we have to do now is define our goals clearly, so that along the way we are able to take the right steps, which can be a supporting factor in achieving a goal.

The entire purpose is not just to make money, but making money is part of the plan. The importance of learning to read, write is for self development. Learning to read and write has a way it shows also in our behavior and way of thinking because it enhances comprehension. Education prepares you to make money.

You can be rich if you are not educated, but will you be comfortable being rich and not being able to express yourself well? Some rich spend their money in trying to get educated because after getting money they see the importance of education and the simple skill of reading and writing.

For many, it is but for some it's all about their passion into doing something that is rewarding. You're not wrong with that analogy as long as you're earning money honestly.

So, what you think is better for you should be done and that's your way on how to survive this world and bad times. While the others, if they're going through with the typical process that you're doing against, you can't also stop them if they're passionate about it.

What matters is that all of us are bringing honest money to bring food to our tables.

Though money is the major thing but you still need know in life which is of utmost important in life, the way things are it looks as if the knowledge is no more needed just the money mindset but I must tell you that even if you have you have gotten the money you still need idea on how to invest it in an asset that can sustain the money if not you can go bankrupt in a twinkle of an eye, you have said a lot but my question is that is it all about just making money, to me is not, if now make this money what next, I think there is a mis priority here, hustling depends on what you want, to me I think growing more on your skills prepares you for more opportunities and more opportunity, OP you can now see that more knowledge, skills and continues opportunity begets extra money.

Of course there are some people who are willing to spend their money to learn something so that they can earn income from what they have learned, because without learning something that can give us income of course we will not be able to do it well, so it is important for us If we want to have an income, of course we have to learn things that can really give us an income because without mastering something well, of course we won't be able to get a good income with the abilities we have.
Currently, of course, it is very necessary to be able to master a field well if we want to earn an income and it will be very impossible if we don't have any skills to earn a good income.

To be a millionaire you need to think like a millionaire, making money to become rich requires the right mindset to do so, this is why you can see uneducated people and school dropouts that rose to become very rich. There's a tribe in my country that is known to have very successful people who are business entrepreneurs, most of their millionaires are not educated people, yet they're so rich that they employ graduates to work for them, they're very wise and naturally gifted to make money. So it's possible to become rich without getting a formal education, it only requires the right mindset.

However I believe that being educated with the right mindset to make money will give individuals an edge over who just went into business without a formal education, because education helps to broaden your views and you can research and see every things from different perspectives and theories.

Dear, you really raised a very good point and it is so true no degree can make any single penny for you until we do not have any kind of skill. At the end of the day, what matters is that you should have many skills so that you can implement them in your real life and make money out of it. Skills are very important to make money and it is the only thing that stands alone for you to grow yourself.

Besides all that, I am also a graduate student and what I learned so far is that skills are really important for survival, the more skills we have more we can earn. I have seen many people who are well educated and have degrees and to be very honest they are not making any money, they are not getting any job so where these kinds of degrees stand for their owners who got it after struggling many years. I am not saying education is not important it is also important but we should also focus on learning skills which can help us to grow.
