Topic: People want to see numbers then they are motivated to move (Read 454 times)

I believe most of the people in the world are in lower class, not middle class. Lower class is not defined by a percentage or anything, it's defined by how they are living, and if they are living either in poverty or near poverty, like not have access to good education or healthcare, and housing and food, then they are in lower class and most people have terrible versions of this, most of the world lives in either open places because they are homeless or they have terrible shelter.

You look at USA or UK and think things are alright, but the world is far more than that and even in those nations homelessness is increasing like crazy as well. I hope that we can see how things could change on the long run as well.

We will feel grateful when we can enjoy whatever we do and this does not mean that there is no belief to change our life for the better.
Most people will be grateful when they have a job and earn money but we need to make a plan for life to be better.
Big plans must be made and we must be able to use the money we earn from work to build a more independent small business so that we can manage our financial plans better.
Being poor is not a choice because everyone wants to be rich or at least have money to live better, but most poor people do not have a plan in their lives and they do not have the ability to get out of poverty because they feel unable.

Build self-awareness to manage a business and collect money from work to start, after that do an evaluation because the most important thing is to dare to do it, not be afraid to fail.
If we never try, who knows whether the business we run will succeed or not and vice versa people will continue to try to succeed without being afraid of failure.

You wont really be able to make progress into your life if you wont really be trying out to do something on which having that kind of extra income , because people will really be just that contented on what they do currently have despite of the challenges that they are currently facing on. We do really know that when it comes into this aspect then it will really be just that depending on a certain individual.

Human beings are naturally that get motivated on the time that they've seen someone whose really that being able to make huge amount of money or even just looking at their financial condition or status on which on the moment that they do get jealous then this is where the time that they will really be doing action. Somehow its not all the time that pertaining about jealousy but rather you can make it as an inspiration to make things better. If you are really that being having that kind of behavior on trying out to achieve things or having those goals and targets then it will really be that not a bad approach.

If you are really that contented into the things that you are really that having now and doesnt want to have that progress or changes then just stay on what or where you are in terms of financial aspect.
We are all thriving on getting rich and thats why as the moment that we do see opportunities then people will really be normally be able to dive in with those chances.

Absolutely right. Most of the people of the World are middle class who are doing nothing but they are wasting their time in doing job. Job is the duty which a person did for his employer and after he got some amount of money and after he is relax. When months starts job people think that job is best because there are millions of people who are searching for job and thank God we have job. And in the middle of month all is ok but when month is going to end job person thinks that job is waste and I am wasting my time because I have to wait more days to get pay and then month ends and new month starts and now he is happy with his salary.That is a situation of every person who is doing job and he did struggle to get this job and he arose from poor family.

That is a regular case this days, Not only your friend. Many people now for the sake of becoming rich quickly they agree to what they don't know and force themselves to do it. some achieve it while some destroy property and life because of using substandard material. So it's a normal case.

Everyone need an upgrade or increase in payment. Some people are  actually skilled and have a specific amount they get paid, so they try looking out to see a place they can do same job with a higher pay rate. And of course not their fault because economic inflation is affecting their salary. And another problem that Leed to finding increase in payment is intemedation from the rich folks or friends.

The fact is that no nobody wants to be intemedated by no one in the society. The life of the society today is that the rich oppressing the poor, while the poor leave life to meet up the standard of the rich and this gives rise to leaving above expections and Leed many to problem of crime and being jailed as a result of greed and wanting to feel among. All I can say is that there is no need for people to fast forward above there capacity otherwise the end path will be disastrous.

Even though I had to skim through the entire write up due to it's length, I was still able to grab the message and understand it. IMO, you aren't far from the truth. Numbers of course have a way of motivating people to do something, even though it might sometimes take them years to accomplish it. And, people that are easily motivated are those that sometimes aren't opportuned, or doesn't get that opportunity all the time to perform such task that will bring them that massive amount.

But, the truth here is this, in as much as numbers can be very motivating, I think it only motivates to some extent. Here is why. Someone can be motivated to perform a task today inorder to earn an interesting amount, but will end up losing interest with time because the passion to carry out that task wasn't there in the first place, but was only triggered by those figures. That's why people sometimes quite their jobs for another easily because the passion was never there in the first place, because they where initially chasing after the bags. Let's just see the numbers as a temporary motivation to doing things instead.

I think saying "small money" jobs are the sole cause of burnout is oversimplification. Burnout can be caused by many reasons, low salary, poor work environment, or even overload work. At least where I live now, the employment rate is recovering, even though I admit that 2024 is one of the worst year for unemployment.  When job creation come back strong, people will have more choices in the labor market. The more job option can help workers find better opportunities without having to rely solely on stressful and unfair job.

Instead of just cutting taxes for companies, governments can also improve labor condition in many aspects, ensure better benefit and career growth paths by creating fair laws for workers, and also considering inflation when deciding the minimum wage, so workers can keep up with the increasing living cost.  I think government should be able create a balance where both worker and business can thrive

While it's true that a good salary can be a powerful motivator, it's not the only factor to consider. Many people prioritize a non-toxic work environment, respect, and fairness. A healthy work environment that offers flexibility, growth opportunities, and a decent work-life balance is just as important as a good salary.

We can't deny that a high-paying job can be motivating, but we should also look beyond the paycheck. Is the work environment healthy? Is the boss toxic? Are the working conditions safe? These are all important questions to consider.

For many people, a low-paying job is still better than being jobless. As the saying goes, "half bread is better than none." So, people may choose to take a low-paying job while working their way up to better-paying opportunities. However, if the pay is extremely low and the work environment is toxic, it may be time to look for a new job.

The expression of the proverb that you said can actually refer to more general things in life and not just to each person. I also agree with the expression of the proverb that you said because everyone must have such complete readiness when they want to do something so that they will not grope like people who try autodidactically. Nowadays, everyone who works is motivated by the ability to earn money because in this life, nothing is free when someone wants something, so self-preparation is certainly a must and cannot be ignored if you want better results in any job.

The liberal ideology you explain is not new, but if you look further you'll understand that in terms of spending power it is almost the same to get higher salaries while having to pay for different services (private schools, healthcare,...) than getting paid less but having these services for free thanks to the taxes your employer paid.

In Spain, where I live, we have low salaries compared to the USA, for example, but we don't take expensive loans to study in Universities and we are not worried about losing our jobs and not being able to pay health insurance.

In the end, IMO, the only ones who benefit from the ideology you defend are the businessmen, not the citizens.

Of course money is a motivator, everyone is looking to get money by any means and everyone wants to see the biggest numbers whether here in crypto or in the real world.

But this does not happen easily, getting money is never easy, you have to learn a lot of things and gain skills in more than one field so that you can get big numbers of money.

But I do not see that the reason behind searching for the biggest numbers in money is greed or wealth, but because the small numbers are no longer enough to get a comfortable life due to the inflation occurring in all countries of the world, cash is losing its value, so you must get bigger numbers.

Taxes are a source of fixed income for countries that do not have industry or natural resources and maybe that's why they set high taxes on companies so that the country can make money, even though what they do is not beneficial to society if the case is like what we are discussing and is happening.

This is life and we are forced to continue doing something that we cannot be responsible for.
Crime occurs because people have difficulty finding money and in the end they take the fast track even though it is very risky and look at poor countries and most crimes occur there.
Work no longer guarantees welfare and lower wages force people to do negative things, this is relatively the case in developing countries or even those countries that are very poor.
Crimes occur and drug dealers begin to grow, thus influencing bad behavior around them. In fact, there is no solution that can be done by the government so that people are increasingly trapped in the crimes committed.

If numbers are the matters, then what about the words age is just a number?
If numbers or what you mean by money is everything then rich people will not be depressed and commit suicide, and poor people will definitely never be happy, but in this world sometimes the opposite happens, where rich people are not happy but people who only have a little money can actually enjoy their lives well.
Money can motivate someone but their motivation can also be bad, money can buy many things but there are also many things that cannot be bought with money.

Learning autodidactically to carry out the construction tasks offered to him is an action taken by someone to chase numbers. It's all very clear, the motivation is only on the numbers offered in the contract. But such a way is less effective because anything that is done requires knowledge and experience. I often hear the saying "prepare an umbrella before it rains", so you need to prepare yourself for everything to get money easily. Yes, money has played an important role in human life, so it is necessary to create conditions for money to work for us and I believe in those words. If you invest regularly, you will get maximum results in the future.

That's a nice story, but the reality is people accept minimum wage jobs because they need to live and exist. If you have rent or a mortgage to pay, you accept whatever jobs are available in order to keep a roof over your head, because the alternative is becoming homeless. You seem to refer to homelessness rather flippantly and I doubt you have faced anything even close to that position, but when you fall into it - you end up in a devastating situation that is a hundred times harder to climb out. People accept "small money" because their available options are often limited. Picking random numbers and cities out of the air does not make you sound intelligent or add weight to your arguments.

These are some really important points about how people are been motivated by money and the need for fair compensation. Many people are looking for opportunities that offer financial rewards whether big or small, especially when they see higher paying industries that require certain skills.
your story@OP tells us how seeing a substantial amount of money can inspire people to learn new things and adapt to new environments. People feel undervalued when they are working for low incomes and salaries, in most cases leads to hopelessness and even depression. With the pressure of living in luxurious areas at big cities in different countries, it is important that the wages reflect on their cost of living.

Money is important but it’s not always the basis of a person or individual. If that money comes with high risk that may put your life into danger, then I would chose to decline that job for my own peace, my emotional and mental health security. Money is just a tool, it won’t guarantee your happiness 100%.

Who doesn’t need money nowadays? Where there is money, the motivation is there. Add to it the endless inflation, the more that people need to gain more money not just to make ends meet, but most especially to build financial stability despite of the financial crisis that everyone has experienced.

However, it’s not only money that builds motivation, but also personal fulfillment and purpose, and recognition and achievement that will drive them to become more motivated and goal-oriented.

To an extent you are right with your narrative about the fact that people want to see numbers before they can be motivated to do a particular job, but one thing you must understand is the fact that this particular situation does not apply to all cases, most people request for a higher number of pay because of the demand or the nature of the job, in some cases most employers of labor want to pay less because there is high demand for jobs, meanwhile that job is supposed to be a much higher paid job, so most person's will just relax and wait to get that same job but pays higher. However this does not stop the fact that there are lots of people who don't go for numbers, they just want a salary that can foot their bills and basic needs.

What's wrong with that?

If there are two jobs vacation open, the first one is software engineer that pays $1K/month and the second one is toilet cleaner that pays $20K/month. I will choose to be a toilet cleaner without thinking twice.

I'm someone that believe in this quote "Your job shouldn't define you".

Which mean, even you work in low paying or no skill job, you can always able to learn something new to reach your goal. Not to mention when you work in that low paying or no skill job, you might find someone that have a same dream like you, which boost your spirit.

Income motivates and highly income motivates absolutely. If you want to see people put in the work increase their pay while giving them a non-toxic work environment. I don't care if the pay is very high most a lot of people will leave a toxic work environemnt for a non-toxic work environment and accept to receive lower wages. However this discussion is not about toxicity in the work place.

I work in a low paying job but I don't care because I have been able to find a reason for why I am working there and what I want out of that organization. I have also been able to find a side hustle. The job is flexible that I can easily juggle two jobs and my productivity is not affected. My mental health is also not affected. This is where receiving low pay doesn't hurt so long as there is a personal motivation for you, like to gain a particular skill to move up the work ladder and other whatever it is.

You are correct that people are motivated to work because of money. Some are willing to engage in any form of training or job because it pays more. The economy is not okay, so we need to do all we can to survive.

But I am not in the category of people who will work any kind of job because I want to live a luxurious life. My focus in life is to earn enough to settle my basic needs and have extra to invest. Life is too short to be wasted on a rat race. A job with high pay without the privilege to relax and spend time with friends and family, will not bring fulfillment. Maybe I might consider doing the job for sometime so that I can raise for a business or investment. But spending my entire life working like a bee is not in my plan.

I will want to spend my life working on what I love and not working for money till I die..

That depends. Some people would be so desperate enough that they would be willing to do about anything. Which is sad to say the very least. People can put their pride and dignity down if it meant they are able to put money in the table. While some value their pride and dignity a lot more than any amount of money.
I think we should consider that it has something to do with our society as well. These days you can’t survive without money. People get hungry and people get desperate. I am not justifying illegal acts but I also try to be understanding of how and why they ended up in that situation.

If that's the case everyone will be willing to do dangerous jobs because of the payout, if it is good enough we will all risk it, but not me and I am sure that there are people like me on here too, I have the will to reject some jobs even while their payouts are very good, because they are too dangerous and life shortening.

Seriously, you can't blinded by how much you will get, but how effect it will be in your life, I know some people don't care but it is the same reason why people push drugs and kill people for living, it is all because of money.

I would rather improve my skills or learn something new to have a better 10years in the future, I've done it in the past with crypto, I can do it again on something else, I just have to be sure that I really want it.

No matter what happens in this world, in the end, people want to see one thing, which is the result. What you did, how you did it, where you came from, what you are doing next, you will need more than these to follow you; always follow your results.

These results motivate you and check whether you are going in the right direction. I want to give you an example, young man, you are a student, your annual final is an exam, in the results of that exam, one of your two friends have done good results or what happened in his previous life, no one will see them, everyone will say that he did well, he has improved. On the other hand, when you visit a friend who does not get the expected results, everyone will look at him differently: he could not do anything good, he could not improve, etc. From here, it is understood that the world plans the next steps based on the results.

You have to do something to improve the results so that people do not think negatively after seeing them. They can think of good things; they can think about how you are improving. You have to pay attention to this.

Money is everything i should say but there would be those people that will make up some argument that money isnt everything but to think or know that these people who will be making up these words are already into those pinnacle of success or financially free kind of condition and thats why its so simple that they can be able to say such thing. For us who are struggling on living basing up on paycheck to paycheck then we will really be loving on having a life on which we do have that tons of money. Yes, there are indeed things in life that cant be bought by money on which at the moment that you will really be able to attain these things then you will be finding for more. Human beings are naturally greedy on which on the moment that they are seeing opportunities on making money then they will simply be diving into it and thats a normal approach. We do really love to achieve that others been able to do so. It might really that look simple but it isnt, we will really be able to realize that it was never been that easy yet there will really be tons of challenges that you will be able to experience along  the way. Having that motivation is something that what makes that push you further,for those who are serious on trying out to make changes into their lives then they are the ones will really be having those chance on having a better life in compared to other. Somehow not all people do end up successful because there are some instances or those individuals that no matter how hard they do try but still they do end up on failing continously. It do matters all on how you will be able to sustain yourself despite of those challenges.

Every job always has a price but we each must also be aware that the value or price of each job is always different even though the value may seem the same, but the level of difficulty and ease can be different. And people who still want the best in their lives are people who are wise enough and can still think sanely so that they are still willing to try to make it happen in their lives. But when we see someone who has worked hard but still hasn't gotten anything, there may be something wrong with the way he does it so he still needs to fix it in the future.

Perhaps that's one way of looking at it. In the end, I guess it all boils down to character and options.

If you like to draw or paint but don't like the idea of drawing or painting something not of your personal choice, then it's an option not to accept commissions. If you don't like drawing somebody else's ugly face without payment, then don't draw that face or don't draw it without payment.

I have a friend who loves baking. She has a family business selling cakes. She shares that they're sometimes up even in the wee hours of the morning when there's high demand to make sure they don't miss targets. But she shares it with mirth. She fondly remembers such moments.

Compare that with so many others who are only working for the sake of salary. You'd only hear grumbles, angry complaints, grievances, and so on. They complain against a workmate, supervisor, management, type of work, overtime, daily commute, and a million others. Despite all the hassles, inconvenience, discomfort, and so on; despite complaining about them almost everyday, they stay because the paycheck is good. Doesn't sound so attractive, though.

There's nothing like that, work in something you passionate is a bullshit.

Let's say you're passionate in drawing, which make you spend your childhood time for drawing as your hobby. It's all fine because there's no target, you can draw whatever you like and you can do anything you want.

But, once you start to work under someone or open commission, you no longer enjoy drawing because you're forced to follow the rules, target pressure and you have no excitement to draw without getting paid.

Something seems to be fundamentally wrong with this. I understand them somehow especially coming from poor people, but if one has enough money and yet the same remains to be the primary motivation, something more important is probably missed. 

Anyway, this looks like a perspective in an upended world. Ideally, you do what you love, not love what you do. Money will naturally follow. Doing what you love results into better output. If you're passionate with what you're doing, you will do it in the best possible way, producing the best possible result. You don't mind giving all your time, energy, creativity, focus, and so on. You enjoy what you're doing. It makes you happy.

People looking for workers are probably guided by the same principle. They don't just make big offers to those who are only motivated by the pay, to those who only take time to try learning stuff because there's financial opportunity from it.

People want the best out of everything and when they don't get it, they make move for another option that will guarantee them getting the best.and I think people should be paid to ransomely for a work done cause they are putting in much efforts in making sure they render the best hands to customer's and it's high time we think that everything is number cause it's initiates alot of things.

You have stretched a single point and made a whole article out of it, which was unnecessary. We all know that people want higher numbers, especially when it comes to finances and pay rates for jobs and work. There is nothing new and surprising in this. If I have money, I know I can hire anyone to do some work for me if I offer them good money; however, whether the person can do that work efficiently or not is a different matter, and I must evaluate before I reach a conclusion.

The person who offered your friend a job that he wasn't qualified for must have been dumb or in a hurry to get the job done as quickly as possible because no sane person would hire anyone without testing whether they know what they are going to do or not. If you don't care about quality and only care about the job getting done, then it's okay to get it done by anyone, but if you are looking for quality, which is why you are spending extra money, you should hire someone who is fit for the job.

A person might be able to complete a task by watching some tutorial like your friend, but it's unethical and unfair for the one who hired you because you won't be able to do the work as efficiently and neatly as someone from that field could.

At the end of the day, you need to weigh your chances in life. Either get a job or not, whatever it is. You won't be choosy if the options are limited. As long as you can live decently, you don't need to worry about the nature of the job. Be choosy when you already have a lot to choose from. But for the moment, take whatever job is in front of you that can pay your bills and have a decent meal and area to sleep in.

We all want to get paid commensurate to our skill and what we can accomplish in the fastest possible time. If you want to get paid with the right price, you have to go the extra mile, and you must also be good in the industry you are in.
There's nothing like getting paid the right way on the job you love, but if you're going to do the job because of the money and not because of the love of the job, the management will see you as someone who is just here for the money and will not become an asset to the company. Make yourself an asset first where you are working, and money will just flow.

I don't think they'd rather be homeless. Once they experience being homeless they come running back to their old jobs that pays the bill because you get worse when you get to the tent city. All drugs are offered to them and they will not be able to go sleep at night if they want to because they're not going to feel safe when every minute there is a gun shot that will disturb your sleep.

People work 3 jobs to make it in this world. Those who prefer to be in jail are hopeless because those homeless today are even working.

There is a price then there is quality that must be guaranteed, because every service must be done professionally and with satisfactory results. Do not immediately glorify it by imitating others, you need to show a characteristic where customers who have ordered are able to provide positive feedback. It would be useless to determine the price for a job if it is not from an expert in the field.

The fiats as the USD is running out of value that even when working your ass out and get paid, a daily paid job can not even afford a daily bill for a common man so it feels being cheated after working that hard and can not be proud of your job because it is not meeting your bill.
How does the common man survive in such way and they government are just there seated in the office chair taxing you from an amount of money that is not yet enough for you and your family.
How the hell can one even set plans of retirement if it keep going this way? There you will see an old man ought to be a grandpa doing the hard labours job with the requirements or man power just to keep life going.
Sadden to say, the poor dies earlier before the rich at this course but yet the poor thrives on putting smiles on their face because no one would help you if you don't help yourself.
Government is a zero minded already.

Money also help to improve learning on a specific line of work or business. Though it's not fine to depend completely on funds when working, I've noticed that people who focus on getting paid fail to advance in learning what they're into. Just like the example above, if the person stops progressing in the knowledge that brought them 50k, they may not gain further contracts, untill all the funds has been exhausted.

However, with money in control, people are willing to visit their offices without being forced or dragged to work. In economics, it's called the "invisible hand" that locates who should be patronized in a specific time and day. That's why everyone don't argue about working because money is involved.

Money can be a strong motivator if you are working to achieve towards financial goals, or even other goals that will get unlock if you have sufficient amount of funds. Let’s get practical here, the bigger amount of compensation, the higher the momentum to perform your job.

However, if we are talking here about complete motivation, then I would say not only extrinsic like money but even intrinsic factors like passion, reason or purpose, and your set goals for your accomplishments should also be consider. Money can be a great motivation, but you need also personal growth and passion to make your motivation more effective.

I don't think so. When people are focused solely on money, they don't focus on their job, they are careless and inconsistent about it, because they aren't concerned about the quality of the service they are offering, as everything to matter for them is money. Motivation can't be based only on financial reward. It has to be based on the satisfaction of the individual in concluding his service with excellency. He must feel proud of himself for what he is doing, and as consequence, the money should come.

I've face a bunch of situations recently where the service providers were solely interested in money, asking for payment beforehand, talking about how profitable the niche of the market they were inserted was, but in the end, they lacked quality and didn't deliver what they promised to do. This kind of professional who want to see number is greedy and inconsequential. Stay away at all costs for your own good.

In this age we all live to make money basically. If an employer can’t attract any employees, it means he is not paying enough. Everything has a price. Everything. If you can’t buy it, you are simply not paying enough. Inflation kind of make many people too happy when you think about it. It is because when they see more nines and zeros in their bank accounts, they feel rich. Most people don’t know or care about the purchasing power of their money. All they want is more money no matter how shitty that money is. I don’t know when this will end but it kind of an endless race. When you start making money, you can’t stop anymore. When you stop, you lose money. Fahk

Some needs can't be measured in numbers.
Money is very essential but human wants ain't onesided.
Though most of our needs can be quenched by money
Some are exclusive to themselves
Take security for example
Some would prefer the safety and security of a job over the pay
While others would pick otherwise
When it comes to human behaviours, everything starts getting subjective.

No need for this long paragraph. The conclusion is always the same: humans want results. Results are motivating and validating that you are going in the right direction. It doesn't have to be big ones yet buy any result allows us to self reflect and assess where we need to improve on.

It's not that they want to be homeless. I think there is nothing wrong with wanting more for yourself. You should not settle for the bare minimum especially if you know you can do better however, if there is nothing more available at the moment we also need to learn how to compromise and start somewhere even if it is not ideal yet.

That's why they say, "money makes the world go round,  because everyone needs money to do what they want in this world.

There’s also the saying, "money is the root of all evil," which highlights the negative side of it. But, we can’t deny that money is essential, that’s why we work hard to survive and hope that in the future we are not just living paycheck by paycheck. Some people, like us here, are just smart enough to take it a step further by learning how to invest, "making our money work for us"., and that's why investing in crypto did into my life. ^{(lots of sayings here about money)}

People want to see numbers
For example my friend got contact who offered to Him construction contract to do task wich he never done but money was 50k in 2 months.
My friend did watch youtube and learning all about this so it's a great example If you show the real numbers wich motivates people then they do everything.

I think people are tired of doing things for small money people want to get well paid.
If you want to be taken seriously you need to show numbers show numbers the money numbers to people and anyone want to do things with you and work for you people Looking numbers, when we search jobs we first look the numbers, when we see highest pay then learning it's not problem If there is something wich skills i don't have but money is goood my time efforts even to wake up in the morning then off course i'll learn that.

Money motivates, and likely we have a lot downfall in society because people just not motivated for doing things for little money anymore, people don't compare themselfes with poor ones, when we look around now prior to chrstmas everbody seems to have money look around so many expensive cars around cities all around places in the world......all of this and show small money someone ?? that's not working really anymore! People now only move If they see money, If you live in usa nyc or florida states or California then you should get 7000$+ thats minimum

And many people "burn out" because they rather be homeless instead of doing for small money people have mentally hard to do things and put efforts in and still getting nothing and can barerly stay alive, so this situation will block just many people brains and they give up of everything they just give up it's a mental block they start losing feeling that they are valued in society.

So small money and low wages takes down countries If country want to make life great first things are make less taxes for companies who pay higher wages for workers.

Yes people have mental blocks and they stop functioning like normal and instead of doing little money at some point they don't do nothing at all many people will choose criminal ways and staying in jail got food atleast and can get involved criminal activities
