No...they are not.
If, like myself, you don’t have endless amounts of CASH
flowing out of your arse, or mummy and daddy don’t pay your way, life can be
tricky. Money becomes a valuable commodity; inflation worsens and we all feel a
little bit sad.
However, I am not stating that money is the root of all
happiness. Imagine if everyone had bags and chests and VAULTS of money? There
would be so very little variation in human behaviour, and the personalities that
make us laugh as well as cry. Whether you’re someone who has a tiny dog in your
bag chewing on £50s, or the type of person who will knowingly eat unpasteurised
Goat’s cheese 3 days over its use by date to make a point that “we don’t waste
anything in this house!” - Or someone inbetween!
Whichever way you look at things, MONEY shapes what we know
and do in our lives; even down to EDUCATION. I have always been a firm believer
that education should be free for anyone and everyone. Yet students are digging
deeper holes in the tax quarries of HMRC and lining more pockets of our
government. More and more schools are brainwashing students into going to
university, making them feel incompetent and unintelligent if they don’t make
the mark. Since September 2012, students will have a nice chunky £27,000
against their name - and that’s just a minimum figure of tuition fees alone! To
me, this is a ridiculous amount of money to be paying for a degree that doesn’t
even guarantee you a job at the end of it! Learning on the job, I believe, is
much more effective in training you up for the adventure of life careers,
without that huge debt looming over your first mortgage application.
Of course though, don’t rule out the people who are
positively suited to academic study. They will go on to gain their Degrees and
their Masters, so good luck to them all. Becoming a doctor is an example of a
profession which won’t, and never will, accept applicants from The Job Centre. It’s
just that not everyone fits together with education as well as others. Richard
Branson, Alan Sugar and Bill Gates (to name a few of our planets billionaires)
dropped out of university or didn’t go all together!
BRANSON started out selling records out of the boot of his car to London outlets; that then evolved into Virgin Records. Branson's newest venture is his new company 'Virgin Galactics'. 2013 will be his year to officially lauch space flights for customers to go on. Over 500 people have already signed up to the $200,000 per person flights!
SUGAR started out when he was 11, boiling beetroot in a green grocers! When he left school, he sat an aptitude test for IBM but didn’t make it - Sugar now owns the IBM Head Quarters building in London which he bought for £112 million.
And GATES started his first business with his best friend Paul Allen when they were 15. Gates’told his teachers “I’ll be a millionaire by the time I’m 30”.......Turned out that Gates entered the BILLIONAIRES club at the age of 31!
Whoever you are, wherever you reside, you cannot live
without MONEY; dough, dollar, GBP, cash, moola, capital, bread, dosh. Whatever
you call it, never UNDERESTIMATE the power of currency.
