Nothing in Life is Free

I know people like to say the best things in life are free, but really, if you take time to think about it, nothing in life is free. If you didn't pay for it initially, you will pay for it later. And if you don't get to pay for it later, then you probably paid for it in the past without knowing, or someone is currently paying for it. And even if you get something for free from someone or a company, you are probably paying with a more valuable currency- TIME.



A lot of people overlook this fact, but really, your time is limited, so it is a more valuable currency than money. If you spend time in line to get something free, or you let someone control your life cos she or he is helping with some handouts, you really ain't getting that money or service for free, cos you have paid for it with your time. So, you see, whichever way you look at it, nothing in life is really free.

From time immemorial, people have always overlooked the importance of money, till they desperately need MONEY. Yea, money might not be everything in this world, but it sure is a very vital element in this life we live in. A woman might confess love to a man and tell him she loves him with all her heart, but let the man's funds run a bit low, and see the nagging side of her come out. Whichever way we look at it, from whichever angle we look at it, money is very important in life, and that is why I feel everyone should strive to get a lot of it and get rich. Yea, I am sounding very materialistic and vain right now, right? Please sit back and read this 10 reasons why I feel EVERYONE MUST GET RICH.

10. Money Equals Value
Yup! What is that paper you have in your wallet if it doesn't have value? It would just be any other paper you can throw in the thrash. But because it has value, it can get you things, and be used as an exchange for what you want. So, look at it this way...The more money you have, the more value you have, because paper-money really is an exchange for value. i.e, you get paid for the amount of service you can render at your job. So, the more valuable you are, the more money you would earn, and vice versa. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, and think about how valuable that man and his head of ideas is to this world. Do you want to be valuable or...worthless? Do you want to be that nice guy everyone likes because he is 'nice,' but they overlook when serious matters come up because you are GOOD-for-nothing?
