money works

money makes the world go round: that's half true. money and people makes the world go round. sad to say, people are letting money make the world go round when it should be the other way around. people are working for money instead of letting money work for the people.

let's take a look at the three kinds of people-money relationship, which i have in mind.

employment: when one is employed, one is working for money. he works to receive money for him to use for daily activity. once depleted, the cycle is repeated. it's advantage: it's basic, no complications and no stress (depending on whose looking at it). drawback: unstable and routinary. once you're laid off, the pay stops and you need to look for another job.

business: when one owns a business, one is working with his money. to clarify, he is helping his money grow by making the business stay afloat. then the owner would hire managers to take charge of the operations so he can sit back. then, from time to time he takes part on the operations. that's better than being an employee, in so many ways. one disadvantage though. it consumes time. not like if you are going be an investor

investor:  when one invests, he uses his money to generate more money. sample would be time deposit, real estate, stocks, bonds, etc. simplest form would be saving up in a bank with compounding interest. that may return the smallest but adding it up to, let's say, 15 years: that's big. 1,500 monthly with 0.5%interest rate for 15 years would have a future value of 281,939.13, regardless of the currency(i think).

final note, make your money work for you. do not just work for money.

reversed 52 week money challenge

It's highly suggested that you read 52 Week Money Challenge first before proceeding with the article. If you are still reading then I'll assume you know most about it already. Let's continue... So you can wait for one year? Very good. And you think that you'll have continuous income for a year? Even better. You can afford to set aside Php2,600.00? Cool! You think that the challenge will not work for you?(for some reason) Then try this one for size Start from the biggest amount and work your way in reverse. So, if you are using Php50.00 for your start week, then you start with Php2,600.00. e.g. as follows 1st week - Php2,600.00 2nd week - Php2,550.00 3rd week - Php2,500.00 4th week - Php2,450.00 etc... etc... Hence, it's call Reversed 52 Week Money Challenge. Since it's the same challenge, but in reverse. What is so different about it? I just feel that I won't finish the challenge with the normal way of doing it. I felt tha...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 6: A Different Possibility

The Uncomfortable Question We've spent five chapters documenting a pattern: frameworks work brilliantly within their domains, then break down at boundaries. Physics, economics, psychology, medicine, mathematics; everywhere we look, the same story. We've examined why the standard explanations fail to account for this pattern. Now we must ask the question that makes most scientists uncomfortable: What if the boundaries are real? Not artifacts of incomplete knowledge. Not gaps waiting to be filled. Not temporary inconveniences on the road to unified understanding. What if reality itself is genuinely structured into domains, each operating under different rules, each requiring different frameworks to understand? This is not the answer we want. We want unity. We want simplicity. We want one elegant equation that explains everything from quarks to consciousness. The history of science seems to promise this; each generation unifying more, explaining more with less, moving toward that ...

Quire (second draft)

  And the one that seeks thought, “I am ready to choose a path.” For doctrines have been read, gods compared, and rituals weighed in silence. He remembered the fire, where light was not worshiped but judged, and darkness was a choice, not a curse. He remembered the breath, where suffering was neither punished nor forgiven, but dissolved through stillness. He remembered the songs, where duty danced with illusion, and war itself was made holy by detachment. He remembered the resurrection, where the dismembered was remembered, and death was a gate, not an end. He remembered the teachings, etched in covenant, wrapped in law, carried by a people into exile and return. He remembered the prayers, whispered in caves, awaiting a kingdom not of this world. He remembered the tongues, where serpents taught silence and fire moved through spine and breath. And the thought wandered, and sleep came as a shadow without warning, and the dream began in the lowest of places. And he beheld h...
