10 Reasons to resign

The writer, James Altucher, an investor, programmer and entrepreneur, today published his unique view of resignation, which is well worth pondering.

Love to read science and technology blog You must want to create something, do not want to live now lifeless life, hope financial freedom. If you do it at 3, you're free, but a lot of people, including myself, have been on the roller coaster because we're stupid.

Don't blame the recession, because innovation and the global economy are in a bad time, and you have no shortcuts. Now that history has entered a new chapter, do not sell things do not think about making money, I will tell you why you should resign, why do you want to plan for your future? Why didn't you do that and you'd lose your roof over your windshield?

1. The middle class is dead.

A few weeks ago I visited a friend of mine who was in charge of 1 trillion dollars, wasn't he kidding, 1 trillion? But he pointed out the window and told me, "What do you see?" I don't know, he told me, the house across the street was empty, the middle class had been ostracized, and every year more people crowded into the upper echelons of society, But every year there are more people who don't have a home. The middle class is dead, the American dream is dead, and this is a marketing scam. Fannie Mae, the biggest mortgage supplier in the past 50 years, once called "We let the American dream come true", which is a marketing scam.

2. Your work can be replaced by robots.

The technology industry is plainly a growing temporary employee industry, and much of the work that existed 20 years ago is now unnecessary because the new middle class is coming--the robot. The first 10 years of the big group of CEOs crying at the Park Avenue Club, I don't know how to revive it, but the country finally started to recover in 2009, but Jobs went again, and the CEOs had excuses, and as a member of the Board of directors, 600 million dollars a year, I was able to foresee Everyone could be fired by their boss, everyone was as cheap as toilet paper.

3. The company doesn't really like you.

The executive editor of a publishing house invited me to discuss how to increase its website traffic, but before talking, he started complaining: "We have a celebrity editor who usually attaches his Twitter account to his article, and when his fans are up to a certain amount, he asks me for a raise," but I asked him, But don't you want your author to be famous? No, we need star news, not individual celebrity writers. "Look, this is the boss who works hard for the writers, who work 90 hours a week, and no matter what you do, he won't really be satisfied, just because greed is endless."

4. Money does not equal happiness

Many people often ask me on Twitter, "Should I find a job I like or find more money?" According to scientific research, people increase wages, happiness is increased by 0, because your salary rose 5000 dollars, you will spend 2000 dollars on the car, dating, the new computer, although these you do not need, but you can always think of something you lack. So don't expect the rise in wages to change your destiny, which will never achieve fiscal freedom.

5. A decision by a lot of people can ruin your life now.

Anyone, your boss, a publisher, a TV maker, a customer, a supplier, a decision will destroy you. So from now on, set up your destination instead of being in control.

6. Inability to meet the needs of the job

Does your physical needs, emotional needs, psychological needs, and spiritual needs really reach you?

If you're as busy as a robot every day, keep meeting people you don't like, lose creativity, then you must plan your exit strategy, hundred your hands will rot in the grave, your hands are not to enter the memo, the paper through the fax machine, and the people you hate to call ... You should use these hands to do something meaningful and treat it with magic. There may be people who argue that not everyone can find a job that they totally like, and now that they don't have enough money to make you happy, why not choose a happier lifestyle? Your life is a state of abundance when you truly meet your needs.

7. Your retirement plan is a bubble.

Your pension will be so much less predictable because of inflation, and you'll have to eat so much for this senseless retirement. The only way to retire is to choose to believe in yourself, start a business or platform, and make a lot of money. Everyone is an entrepreneur and the only skill that is needed is the ability to fail, the ability to create idea, the ability to sell the idea, the ability to execute the idea, and the ability to stick to it. Or you'll have to live like that, waiting for your boss to give you just enough money to make a living and continue to struggle with freedom and bondage.

8. All excuses not to change

I'm too old. I'm not creative enough. I need insurance, I have to support the children.

There was a THX-1138 film, everyone hid underground, because the ground was contaminated with radioactive material, and finally thx decided to die on the ground also do not stay in the basement, because in the underground can not enjoy love. When he broke through the obstacles, came to the ground, a piece of sunshine, everyone is very beautiful.

9. Occasional impulsive resignation no problem

A lot of people are there saying, "I can't quit today," but before the human race learns to do a marathon, it's step by step, then exercise, keep healthy, then help others, someone to you, someone love you. So you can't move to freedom without taking this step.

10. Work doesn't make you full

Go out of your own prison to really get a full life, you can't see it now, but after you have that idea, you open your eyes every day, use your positive actions to infect others, and quietly wait for the fortune to come. If you don't believe me, you can, you go on with your life and stay in the middle-class culture of extinction ... But slowly the light will dim, the body gradually cold, and you still have no sleep in the dark night.
