Topic: Isn't it all about money? - page 9. (Read 3043 times)

No doubt, education is riches, but its actual application matters most. I hear you talk about education giving you an edge, but what good is that without guts? Like a car without gas, knowledge without action is useless

Yes, investing without knowledge is unwise. A lack of risk-taking will keep you at square one, regardless of your degree. Beyond knowing your investment, you must understand the market, its psychology, and, most crucially, yourself

You promote rational thinking instruction. True, but remember intuition. Sometimes the market is illogical. People who combine knowledge and intuition often see the unseen. Investment should be about planning for success despite risks, not merely avoiding failure. Remember, all investors started off. The difference? They plunged

Basically, it ultimately comes down to finance. But to get good family finances, there are many paths to take according to each individual's interests. Of course we have to be able to become a field that is done professionally, not just finance, but humans are basically social creatures who need each other, so any field can certainly make a lot of money as long as we are professional.

Money is the ultimate need of every human alive. And you can only gain money if you take some risk or do things in exchange for money. But I always say this,  education is one form of wealth that we can ever have. If you can educate yourself, whether it’s formal or informal, this will create a big edge for you to think logically on the things you are doing.

You can’t just take the risk and invest all your funds without being knowledgeable on your investment. You need to gain the whole concept of that first, and having the capability to understand the concept is an edge, since not all are capable to understand their investment and make it work. There are those who make such huge investments but eventually fail and lose their funds, because they are not knowledgeable and have not gained experience on the kind of investment he entered.

Of course people who study courses like Economics and Business or those courses related to finance have a better shot when it comes to money, however, just because they studied it doesn’t mean anything is guaranteed (that they’ll know how to manage money or whatever). I think that the government needs to take it more seriously and enforce that such topics are taught from an early stage of school because I think it can take out a decent percentage of poverty.

Money is an epicentre/ focus of attention to both the literate and the illiterates alike. Someone could decide to attend school to acquire knowledge as to enhance his/ her monthly salaries. Also, someone could decide not to go to school for knowledge acquisition, but could acquire the money in billions by applying the basis logic or principles to generate money.
Therefore, the acquisitions of billions of money has nothing to do with the attainments of formal education, rather it is the application of the basic logic.
But one should know that the acquisitions of money is not a tea affair, it requires sleepless nights whether great or small.

Money is one of the main things in life that is quite meaningful. All reasonable people will look for money to meet their needs. Money clearly has quite an important meaning. Money is a means of payment for purchasing goods and services as well as other valuable assets as well as for paying debts. How to get that, just by working to produce something and being paid money.

Likewise with the title of rich people, they are people who have large assets by holding quite a lot of money and converting it into other forms and of course everyone really wants that sufficiency.

I agree because buying necessities and everything now requires money.
even to become an engineer as you said you have to go to school and pay with money. maybe some people can get scholarships but the comparison is too far, that's why people who learn about money will have a more prosperous life.

In essence, we live in this world and we don't just talk about money, but now everything needs money. What I learned is that when we chase money, there are important things that cannot be separated from the process we go through. Capital and how we make money really depend on the accuracy of what we do. There are many people who work hard until late at night to make money, but unfortunately the money they get is not commensurate with the work they do.

Justifying any means to make money is not good because we ignore basic principles and greedy people usually end up very badly and what they are looking for will not bring blessings and development. Making money is not easy, but when people follow the rules we will definitely get money even if the amount is large or small.

Not everyone is successful from the engineers route in making money and there are even people who only go to high school and are successful with the business or work they do. Not everyone is destined to be rich, but everyone has the opportunity to achieve the wealth they desire. That means that opportunity, capital and hard work will be the cause and effect of people achieving success.

People work hard all day, get higher education and everything has the purpose of earning money. Money is the root of all happiness and without money you can do nothing.  Because if you want to do something, you must have money.  People gamble there to have fun but their 2nd objective is to win big and earn money from it.  So I think money is needed for everything in life.  And all human activities are for the purpose of earning money

Maybe in the past certain people were able to enter school, so it could have happened that many people could only read. But with the times, of course, education is still needed. But if you compare it with those who have not reached the tertiary level, it is not certain that those who have not reached the high level are inferior and more backward. Because now you can learn from several literatures and get involved directly in work practices that are not necessarily available at the educational level. You are right, and I agree that sometimes a degree obtained at an educational level is not everything. In fact, it is difficult to get a job. Those who practice directly will certainly be better prepared than those with a degree.

A bachelor's degree is proof that you have attended college, that's the point. Actually, you don't need to go to college to learn, especially now that many people are successful without going to college and without a bachelor's degree. The most important thing to earn money to be successful is to work hard, be creative, and develop talent and discipline. However, that doesn't mean that educated people are wrong, being educated is also better than being uneducated because at least they have insight and a network of relationships.

If you don't want to go through all that stages, you don't have too but please go to school and acquire the best education for yourself so that you can blend in when people are communicating and interacting. You can't understand the economy fully without taking the real classes, you can't speak fluently if you don't learn the language in a proper way unless you are from English speaking country. You need to go to school to improve intellectualy and be smart too.

If you don't want to do all you have mentioned, why not go learn a craft, you don't need to go through all these but you need to husle as a craft person and artisan, you can also chose to become a local farmer but you can't escape the hustling part because all I have mentioned involve hustling. However, if you want to die of hunger, you can just sleep at home and press your phone and if your parent leave a fortune behind your name you can spend it while it last until everything is finished.

And how are you going to make money if you don't want to take your time to read, learn and study? People are paid for their skills and for what they can provide to each other. If you can't provide anything useful because you didn't developed any skills, you aren't going to make any money after all... To be focused on how to make money means you are focused in learning something which can proportionate you to achieve that goal futurely.

It's not about the end justifying the means. It's about you being rewarded in the future for your hard efforts in the present time to become a professional who will be able to comply with people's needs and expectations inside jobs market.

Life is indeed a complex maze, and success isn't always a straightforward outcome. While money plays a crucial role in enabling basic needs and aspirations, it's not the sole compass guiding our journey.

Education, often touted as the "key to success," holds undeniable value. It equips us with knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities – essential tools for navigating life's challenges. However, it's essential to acknowledge that education is not a guarantee; it's merely a crucial stepping stone.

There are countless individuals who have carved their own path to success, bypassing the traditional educational route. Their tenacity, resilience, and the invaluable lessons learned through lived experiences have propelled them forward. These stories are a testament to the human spirit's potential and the diverse pathways to accomplishment.

However, it's important to avoid oversimplification. While formal education isn't the only path, the knowledge and skills acquired can significantly enhance the chances of success, regardless of the chosen route. Applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations is what truly empowers individuals and equips them to navigate the complexities of life.

Yea, you are absolutely right, but money isn't everything we need both in life and in business. Yes, with the look of things going around in our society today, without money you are not and can't survive, but not in all things, especially when it comes to our health. Not all things money can solve, like having peace of mind and making us feel more secure and saving us from financial protection when in business: smiling and being polite keeps our clients and helps the business expand. What good is money if we don't have a good character, peace of mind, or health? Meanwhile, some people simply need to be happy in life. Even individuals with degrees require happiness and good health; despite having money, they require natural services to stay fit.

The end doesn’t always justify the means. And no, it ain’t all about the money. There are other things in life that money cannot possibly get you. You can have all the benefits and items money could provide but still lack fulfillment.
You’re all talk about making the money using any means but have actually failed to say just how you’re going to make the money without going through said ideal process that has been accepted by people in the society.

The society would only see you as less of a person if you’re a bum and being unproductive for yourself and your immediate society.

It's true that a university degree isn't the sole path to success, but dismissing its importance altogether would indeed be shortsighted. Education in all its forms holds inherent value that contributes to personal growth, intellectual development, and critical thinking skills. Indeed, the journey of education extends far beyond the attainment of a degree. It's about embracing new ideas, challenging assumptions, and cultivating a lifelong thirst for knowledge.

Universities provide a structured environment that fosters intellectual curiosity and teaches invaluable skills such as adaptability, problem-solving, and collaboration-qualities that are essential in navigating an ever-changing employment landscape. Success is multifaceted and can be achieved through various paths, not solely through formal education. The key lies in how people interpret and apply their experiences, knowledge, and talents to create opportunities for themselves. As the employment market evolves, adaptability becomes increasingly crucial. Universities play a vital role in instilling this adaptability by teaching students how to learn, think critically, and adapt to new challenges.

Totally agree with that but look at the world around you, can you enjoy something without the need for money? I don't think there's not a lot of things that someone can do and enjoy without having to spend money anymore. As much as what you're saying is true, the problem is that the reality of life, the cancerous capitalists are making all the things that we used to enjoy for free commodities that we have to pay to enjoy, want to go on a climb on a mountain? You can't pass because it's dangerous and you need to pay some fee so you have a tour guide and you have to pay for our stuff that you'll want along the hike trail at an enormous price because you've got no choice, you're on a treaded path and you can't explore other paths anymore, hiking has become cumbersome to do because you're not doing it for free anymore, someone's locking the entrance to the mountain.

Maybe the things that we wished is true, that this world isn't all about money anymore and we can still do things besides for the money, maybe if we create an anarchy society, we would see an abolition of the norms or if we all revolt to make the capitalists pay their long dues to the people, you know not full on Bolshevik revolt, just keep them in line and make sure that their serving the people and not their board of members then maybe we would see some semblance of hope that things aren't just for money.

Is somebody forcing you to study for an engineer? Is somebody seeing you as a less of a person because you don't have bachelors degree?
Increasing your knowledge and skills increases and ways and possibilities for you to make more money. That's the whole point of the educational system. I know that some educational systems kinda suck, but that's not my problem. A bachelors degree is a certificates, which proves to your future employer that you are capable of doing high quality work, so he will hire you at a better high paying position.

It’s the society that makes it seem so. I believe that what matters is knowing how to read and write. If you look closely, you’ll notice that some of the legends we know never went to school. You’d see that what they invented is being studied in schools but they didn’t learn it there. What is sad is that even after going to school and getting that degree, you don’t even know what exactly awaits you
