- Hard work = high return?
- Long hours = high recognition?
Is that a simple equation? If yes, then our Malaysian Child Prodigy would not have got it wrong. That aside, we would normally think that getting a stable job with a stable income and everything would be stable. This is what normally be fed to us when we were growing by our respectful parents. I am not blaming them for this because what they have thought us is indeed true but only at the wrong century.
I have a friend who is a graduate from a reputable overseas university. He got back to KL and after a couple of hops he joined a giant listed organization. He holds a high profile job reporting to the CEO directly, he travels overseas officially, he holds meetings with high profile heads of organization as well as govt reps etc. He spends endless hours daily making sure all deals runs well. It was going into his 6th year and he suddenly realized that everything was increasing tremendously except his salary. How pathetic! I guess this is just a normal scenario many of you would have seen. My friend quit his job for greener pasture.
So how does the equation works? Hard work equals high return? Long hours equals higher recognition? To summarize, work smart and hard.
The save $10 earn $3.5 has already been in our economic system for so long but kept away from ordinary people. Some of your friends and relatives may know it but didn’t reveal it. You may have missed it if you have been too busy with your job.
You know where to find me.
