Money is Freer Than Time

"Money is not free.

Time is free.

But, money is freer than time."

To understand the meaning of this quote, let me help with a non-fiction story;

I used to know a lady who was a professional in the business (now called "hook up" but then) called "aristo". Aristo is not really the word, but prostitution which means moving with aristos. She was doing it to earn herself money. Yeah! Money, which is very important in maintaining a good standard of living.

She had been doing the business before I knew her. I knew her in about eight years ago. She was one of the most classy ladies back then, in terms of material things and physical appearance.

About eight years is passed. And now, a radiant, gorgeous, beautiful, sexy, and classy lady of eight years ago is now the grotesque. Her flabby boobs is a signal to prospective suitors.

In the progression of time, she was earning money...Now, all ( body shape, boobs and glamour)she was using to get(buy) the money have expired. The free time she had to work or invest has been wasted.

Instead of wasting her time on earning money, she could have used the time to build what would fetch her not only money but also everlasting fulfillment.

The question now that you have understood the quote is, what are you using your time to buy?

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them) Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal. Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal. Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
