"You Can't Teach New Tricks to an Old Dog"- A Billionaire's Advise for Financial Freedom.

Don't teach pigs to sing. It wastes your time. And it annoys the pigs." Rich Dad. Labour agitations and disputes is the thorn in the flesh of world economies today.  Developing countries have been top of the list for centuries. The same can be said today of developed and much bigger economies. In days of old a university degree was a guarantee for financial freedom and career fulfillment. The reverse may be true today.

Anthony Robbins - How to Develop a Competitive Advantage in a Fast Changing World

 " If you don't have a competitive advantage don't compete"- Jack Welch. People have something in common with products/brands. Let's unpack this tough statement to the core.  Quality products emerge from quality decisions.  A product well recognized is a decision well recognized. Behind a popular product is a popular producer.  A product well embraced is a decision well embraced. A decision well recognized is a human well recognized.  Bill Gates is well respected as Microsoft. If  Mark Zuckerberg is sued today by a family member over something else the share price of Facebook will begin to drop. Therefore it's more empowering to see our personal lives or businesses as brands.  Walking in such point of view you would agree that humans are synonymous to the brands they represent. Then again we can say as a matter of psychological truth  that every human craves for recognition. We do that by hiding behind our brand identities.  As humans we feel...

  "Everything you want is on the other side of fear" . - Jack Canfield .  Whats life like? An image or a video? Images do not provide all the details compared to a video. Life is accurately depicted as a video.  So think of your life as a movie.  The world is in a state of flux and constant motion.  King Solomon coins that beautifully as times and seasons for everything under the sun.
