It's really surprising that what people strived for during the 19th and 20th centuries, is now a taboo. Most of the social media mentors claim it as a taboo.
For the past few years, there is this thing called a 9-5 work hour schedule which we all are running away from. Be your own boss, dictate your own life, set your own rules are a few quotes quickly being posted and shared these days. The pandemic has proved it in a harsh way, that you need your own business to survive this pandemic.
No it’s not true. Not the self owners survived this pandemic, the true survivors are those who happened to manage their money, their living whether it’s a 9-5 or a self owned business.
Do you think that all people want the same as you?! Do you think someone who likes a 9-5 job, a fool?! Do you think he is a weakling?!
It’s a known fact that the pandemic has taught us in a harsh way, the realities of life. Many people lost their living, lost their jobs, lost their loved ones, lost fake friends, and more. But it also taught us self worth, self care, true relationships, and most importantly personal finance. People want to manage their money and strategize their way of earning it.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, people have been misled, claiming that success is only when you have free from your 9-5?! But seriously,is it true?! Do you really think that when you quit a 9-5, you can have anything in this world?!
No. Never. You can never have everything in this world, just because you quit your 9-5. It’s okay if you don’t like your 9-5, and want to be your own self. But that doesn’t mean 9-5 is bad.
Because, in reality 9-5 is not bad. You can choose a simple 9-5 work schedule and enjoy the evenings with your family. You can choose a simple weekend and a little party with your close friends. You can choose peace over 'growth’. Stop people rubbing their opinions on you, just because they felt it right.
Not all people want a risky adventurous life, some choose otherwise. There is no harm when you work for 9-5 and reach home to your family and friends. There is no harm when you never want a big load of money in your account. There is no harm and never a taboo to live simple, to like simple, to be simple.
What we actually fail to notice is when we quit a 9-5, you can actually do whatever you want to do. But at the same time there will be responsibilities, there will be work, there will be times when you don’t even get to see your family for a long time, there will be chaos and more. There is no other way other than working whether it’s a 9-5 or self employment.
No one really knows the correct way of living, and all people are trying to figure it out on their own way of living. So if someone chooses his 9-5 as a living, deal with it. It's his life!!
