I’m sure you must have this saying before. The reward for hard work is more work. I don’t understand why it has to be so. If I work hard, why can’t I just rest immediately? Why do I have to wait till I am 60 before I retire? Even after retiring, I still have to work if I want to eat. This brings me to my first point, Retirement is A Myth. We will never stop working. But we can take out time to rest.
Have you seen the movie "‘Breaded Life’, if you haven’t I think you should? How does it relate to working? So you see the character played by Timini Egbuson, has this grand idea that he was born to chill. His father was rich and when he died, he inherited his wealth. Why does he have to work a day in his life? You can watch the clip here. So my second point is ‘Na Who Work Go Chop’ especially if you don’t have a physical inheritance.
Strangely, many of us are lucky to be born with a spoon in our mouths and talk more or less of a silver spoon. We have had to struggle. I mean some people don’t even have a spoon. Then, there are different types of spoons. However, if you have a spoon, be grateful. My third point, it doesn’t matter what type of spoon you were born with, Pass On An Upgraded Spoon. Will it be you who launches generational wealth in your family? Then, my dear, the result of all your hard work is more hard work.
My final point will be clear. Find Rest and Balance Out Your Work. Not all of us can chill but all of us should rest as we work. The number of youths getting down with HBP and Hypertension is on the rise. For God's sake, where are we running to?
Try to take vacations, please. If you cannot go to Dubai, then go to South Africa. If not, go to Ghana. Still can’t afford it? Obudu Cattle Ranch should do. But if you cannot, then just stay home or spend your money doing a staycation in a 5-star hotel or 3 stars or just any star. As long as you are taking a rest.
It seems it has been set in time that as we work our reward is more work. But my dear, it’s better to work and get results. Then be working and slaving. We can’t choose the results of our hard work but we can determine how intense the result is.
A drop of honey for your day.
