9 to 5 Job

 You are a lucky person if you have to work only from 9 to 5 i.e. for 8 hours, perhaps for 5 or 6 days in a week.

There are millions in this world like housemaid, housewives, labourers, guards, cops who have virtually no working hour and no scheduled holidays.

You must appreciate that every single working day, you have 16 hours at your disposal and you have 24 hours at your disposal on the weekends, holidays and leaves.

The number of free days you can enjoy in a year would be in the range of 100-150 days.

What a lucky person you are?

You have reasons to be happy and satisfied with so much time and resources at your disposal.

Millions of people would consider themselves lucky, if they can get your job.

When you are working 9 to 5 job, you also don’t have to worry about the health of the company because you can always change your job.

You also get sufficient money as salary to live a decent life and take care of your family.

The real problem with 9 to 5 job is that almost everyone you see around yourself has it.

Hence, you don’t feel special being an employee as you have nothing great to boast off.

You have been conditioned to believe that you are a special person who deserve something special in this world.

Hence, you feel ordinary and common doing the same thing over and over again and get bored.

Many people leave their jobs and start their own company or business to get rid of this routine.

However, most of them end up making their life worse rather than better for the following reasons.

• According to Bloomberg, 8 out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within the first 18 months Thus 80% new entrepreneur lose all their savings, get burdened by debt and then back to 9 to 5 job soon.
• When you start your business, you have to work 12-14 hours a day for almost 7 days in the week. Even when you are not going to the office, you are working from home.
• You have to worry about cash flow, office rent, competitors, and employees all the time.
• You have to worry about the legal compliance of your company and managing with tax payments etc.

If you decide to follow your passion and choose to become a writer, painter, singer, actor, musician etc., you struggle for earning your bread and butter until you reach to the top.

Don’t get fooled by the success of a few in these fields by listening to the interviews of those who have made it to the top.

For every successful person in the glamourous profession, there are hundreds who are struggling with life in these areas.

Learn to appreciate and value what you have rather than running after illusions and making your life miserable.

Instead of thinking that you are stuck in your job for the rest of my life, realize that your living is assured for life thanks to your job.
