Few days ago I was just wondering why we like post pone our earnings? During my schooling days and university days the thought of making some extra money or doing some thing for money did not arise. I think it is because the way myself were thought and brought up made me think that I should start earn money after I finished my education. Everyone around me, my parents, my siblings, cousins, uncles, teaches, friends and the society said only one thing . They all said " Study hard! Score A's! Go to University! Get a high paying Job! Some went to the extant to Say " Work hard! Save Money! Buy House and Get Married! I did what ever they said, I studied hard accept I buying a house and getting married!
Why should we wait until we graduate to start earn? Why not start earning before we graduate, even before we start our tertiary education. Things have change so much that if we slack a little we will be left far behind by other communities. Now we are in the IT age not Industrial Age anymore....We should start adjusting to new Age where old rules doesn't work any more. We need to separate our earnings and education. It is two different things: our earning is not 100% related to our education. After all our education doesn't teach us how to earn money and it doesn't teach us to become rich either! We learn it in the streets from the society! Became street smarts is the best way to earn a better life. Look at most of the millionaires and billionaires, either they didn't get university education or they did not complete their tertiary education!
School smarts only develop their left side of their brain, and most of them neglect the right side! The creative side which is important when we are stepping into the streets.
So the question will be
How to became street smart?
How to develop the right side of the brain?
How to start earning before we graduate?
Think It!
Search for ways to earn even before you graduate. There thousand of ways to earn without investing a single cent. Practice to create new ideas and new business, everyone knows practice makes perfect!
