WHAT COMES FIRST, BUSINESS OR PLEASURE?
In the world we live in today, it is simple for people to become preoccupied with enjoying themselves before considering anything else. I believe that's the way life is or was intended to be. We all believe that we should take care of our immediate pleasure before considering what else we should do.
Only a small percentage of the people we have now would forego their present needs and pleasures in favour of the future because they are goal-oriented and think creatively, but this is the norm and reflects the way human nature is constructed.
First, by "business," I can refer to anything that involves developing skills or has the potential to generate income. However, if you look at young people today, you'll notice that they prioritize having fun before taking anything seriously.
I think young adults in their twenties have the chance to make time commitments and make plans for the rest of their lives. The problem with putting pleasure first at this stage of their lives is that they would be unable to make plans and would only realize too late that they had put pleasure before developing a talent or preparing a future business.
Many young people who put pleasure first—and who may not have wealthy parents—do so at the expense of their future. They continue to assist others in running their businesses and generating income so that they might eventually be paid pennies and realize how much they abused their youth.
As for me, I consider myself fortunate to have taken the time to fully understand what I need and what to prioritize first. I am fortunate to be surrounded by minds that are similarly driven and more interested in winning the battle than in enjoying themselves.
In order to free my mind from social conventions where one can easily be pressured by peers into pleasures with the mindset that "Life is too Short," enjoy while you can, I spend some of my time researching wealthy people of today and how they spent their youth. I also spend time reading business mindset pages. Since I don't come from a wealthy family, maintaining the same mindset puts my future in jeopardy. The only option for me to be directed is to stay away from social conventions.
We have lost sight of the crucial ability of delayed gratification, which enables us to work hard and ensure a brighter future. I am aware that anything can happen in the future, but taking a chance is preferable to waiting for luck and wasting the potential to develop.
Please remember that age is just a number if you are reading this and are not a young person. It's never too late to change your course and put your expertise or business above any pleasure you may experience. The result of your choice would then materialize right before your eyes.
