The Business of Life

  And so, on this Sunday afternoon, I have been thinking long and hard to make a choice I am confronted with in a sudden, out of doubt of my own choice in life and of my future. I have reached the verdict and I have decided to present the ideas and arguments in my head in the form of words, hopefully to convince myself and further reinforce the choice that I am making now. 
  The choice of taking a degree in finance is a choice I made quite some time ago and I was sure I made the right choice and I will not regret it, but now after getting involved in OSKIC, a doubt arises which caused me to question myself and my choice. Is it still the right way to go? And I realised, facing difficulties now is not because of the choice i made, i'm still only 18 and in Foundation year. How can i expect to understand and know how to deal with all the investment and trading issues i am facing? If i know everything at this age, everyone in the world can be rich.
   Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad says in his book, "The rich don't work for money, they let money work for them." This statement is one of the factors I began to doubt my initial choice. The prospect of earning big bucks and to start early, I admit, is very tempting.. But to solve a problem, we cannot think at the level at which the problem is created, and so i took time, discarded the emotions and temptations and use only the rational thinking tool.  Yes it is true, the rich let money work for them. But wait, we are not born rich and we don't start our career or our working life as the rich. Now there is a problem, what do the rich do before they are rich? The answer is again, they worked for money as well, the only difference is they got rich by doing that, and then changed their way. How can we make money work for us if we have not acquired enough money in the first place? And so we come to the question of, which is the better degree for us to easily land a secure job at the start of our career?
  Frankly speaking, there is no perfect start as everyone of us have to go through a spice of life in order for us to gather all the necessary experience. Struggling in my final thought, i had make up my mind to have a better determination for my choice of studying the degree in finance. Finance is always needed in a company and financial analyst will be the last man standing if anyone will to be fired. I had convinced myself to give myself a year or two after finishing my tertiary education to prove that my decision is right.There is no standard formula for money making.After all, one does not necessary follow his path, it is just on  how we apply our financial education in our daily life.
