You may never have ever seen it in this perspective, but the
simple truth is that earning starts by giving. Any successful business
person or firm today is successful because they have a service or product that
they are giving out in exchange for value. Chance is that today you gave out
money for something; a packet of milk for breakfast I guess.
Our ancestors may have understood this better because before
money was invented, they had to have something to give in order to get what
they wanted. Today we seem to have forgotten that money is just but a medium of exchange,
value is in what is changing hands; value is in what you are giving value is in
what you are getting .
If making an earning or an extra earning is your desire
today, then I have a blue print for you but before I unveil it let me explain
my understanding of the word giving.
Most of us understand giving as providing or offering
something without expecting a return. That is a true definition of giving and
one that may scare away some from this article, but in this passage I want us
to trivialize money and exalt what we are getting or offering for money. Let’s
look at the example given above about buying a packet of milk; consider the value of the milk in
comparison to the five ten shilling coins given! Is it not fare to argue that
the person selling the milk by making the milk available close to the buyer at
the appropriate time (say five in the morning) has in all the sense of the word
given?
If you have understood this concept Bingo! You are just
about to make money.
In my thinking,keeping in mind the above concept,i offer that the following steps outline how any one can make money,and live a happy fulfilling life.
