I was reading a quick article today that talked about how many multi billionaires are treating these current unstable market conditions as a great opportunity to invest in various companies for virtually nothing compared to what it would cost normally despite the negative opinions.

This can be so true in many ways even when it comes to starting some kind of business I thought. I know quite a few that began its operations during a time where everyone said it would be a suicidal time to do so and in the end they became a big player in the industry and are doing well.

One of the reasons they mentioned was that while everyone was afraid to do anything, even if there is less opportunity out there than normal if you are the only one doing anything then you can essentially get all the attention and business. Sure enough, that is what happened for them and as things in general got better they of course grew with it.

I guess this is one of those things where it is up to you to make something out of it as there is always an endless amount of opportunity to do something despite conditions that you may face. Kind of reminds me of that phrase where if you encounter a lemon then you may as well make the best of it and make lemonade.

So I had a pretty tight schedule this week and a person contacted me about a potential opportunity to be involved in some ad campaign that would be fairly lucrative. The thing is, he confirmed that I would attend to the event as he assumed I would say yes anyways.

Of course I had pre-arrangements already made and so time wise it wasn’t doable. I then asked why he did that and he simply mentioned that it was potentially worth over $10,000 and so he thought there was no way anyone would turn that down.

Thing is too, this was like of those out of your hands as it was more like an audition or quick interview of some sort where you go through a process and then it is up to a panel of say “judges” who decide your fate. That wasn’t exactly a guarantee thing either as it is just an “opportunity”.

While you obviously need to take risks to a certain extent, it’s kind of silly if you had say two loyal clients that you committed to and then simply throw that away for a potential opportunity to be involved in what can be a more lucrative project.

I was watching this piece about how a lot of people believed that as a result of not having resources and upper class schools compared to some of their peers that they do not have an equal playing field in life when it comes to making a good living. Example, all the less fortunate will be forced to work as grocery store clerks and the others would go on to be say some kind of executive.

This is one of those issues where I am inclined to say where in many ways it’s true from a resource point of view such as if I have a computer to work with and the other doesn’t then obviously I am going to be more technically inclined. At the same time, I have to believe that as long as you learn basic skills like reading then you can easily learn things like how to use a computer afterwards if necessary.

It’s like an athlete I suppose. Even if one guy doesn’t necessarily have all these exercising equipment and weights compared to another person, just training the essentials properly can kind of put you on the same league if not better in terms of strength and endurance if it came down to a competition afterwards.

I mean, there are a ton of people with simply a high school education that earn a lot more financially compared to say a person with a bachelor degree. Like with that example it shows me that your income is more tied to how you apply your knowledge as oppose to what you learned necessarily. I always saw tying your income to your education is a little risky as you are kind of setting yourself up to expect certain things to just come to you as a result. If your income is tied to anything, it’s more about one’s choices in life I’d say.
