“If I have the choice…” How often have you been hearing this, or better still, saying this to yourself? And what would majority of the people set to complete the question?

If I have to the choice to be rich and wealthy….Well in my humble opinion, you had already made YOUR CHOICE when you said this. Didn’t you? You made the choice of being the OPPOSITE of rich and wealthy!

Rich and wealthy don’t just sit there to dream and grumble about things. They worked for it. Though more often than not, many perceived that rich and wealthy don’t work hard at it. Well, these people who presumed so, are definitely right! That is because these riches work smart. That is the forumla where many are seeking for, where in fact most are not able to find as long as they are trapped in what Robert Kiyosaki liked to call, the Rat Race.

The Game Rule In Today’s Context: History Repeats Itself

This rule is as true and as real as it is for now, as the olden days. I would say that it had been there for centuries and centuries. How many military leaders have you seen going personally to the military warfare, standing right at the frontline of the battleground? It has been said that olden days military wisdom depicts what is in today’s business world. That is why we have the Art of War by Sun Tze.

The Hard Work Indicator: Are you working too hard?

Give yourself a break, and get away from your usual view and perception. Replay your daily routine as if you are watching drama series. Is the content of each and every episode mostly the same? And are you happy that? If your answer is a NO, then you are working way too hard.

Work for a Meaningful Objective: What is your purpose or objective?

What exactly is your point of working so hard? For your retirement? Well then if it is so, then based on Tim Ferriss’s The 4 Hour Work Week is that you are working without an objective, you are only setting yourself a destination. Based on his pratical tested theory, new rich loved what they do, and never intend to quit for retirement. And in fact they are pretty happy with it as they work less and enjoy more than others.

In Summary: What is my point?

Don’t just get yourself trapped, and more importantly here is a critical word to add to the sentence, “unknowingly”. Don’t get yourself trapped UNKNOWINGLY. It will be as if you are living without a direction, and your only means of living is to work and work.

Doesn’t it seems as if it is like a donkey and a carot? The only thing that the donkey can see is neither the nice scenery, nor the people,  or anything, because they only have one ultimate focus. The carot! Who knows the donkey might not even be getting the carot at all even after all the hard work?
