SMS 190 – Do you understand the game?

What is the game? The game of numbers. Poor people are quick to complain about why the entertainers earn so much money whereas a hardworking school teacher goes home with miserable pay. What they don’t understand is that wealth is attracted to numbers. Your earning is directly proportional to the number of people you efficiently serve in the society, directly or indirectly.

• Helping people gets noticed
• Supply and demand – see needs that are not being filled
• Solving problems rather than doing tasks – continuous improvement
• Doing important work rather than urgent work – requires good planning
• Adding value rather than putting in time – work you job like a business
