Wealth eludes most people because they are preoccupied with events while disregarding process. Without process, there is no event. Take a moment and reread that. Process makes millionaires, and the events you see and hear are the results of that process. For our chef, the cooking is the process, while the meal is the event.
நுகர்வோர் குழுவிலிருந்து உற்பத்தியாளர்களின் குழுவிற்கு நீங்கள் மாற வேண்டுமென்றால், நீங்கள் ஒரு கண்டுபிடிப்பாளராகவும் ஒரு தொழில்முனைவோராகவும் இருத்தல் வேண்டும். நீங்கள் ஒரு படைப்பாளியாகவும் முன்னோக்குப் பார்வை உடையவராகவும் இருத்தல் வேண்டும். நீங்கள் ஒரு தொழிலைத் தொடங்க வேண்டும், அதன் மூலம் உலகிற்கு ஏதோ ஒரு விதத்தில் மதிப்பு வாய்ந்த ஒன்றை வழங்க வேண்டும்.
Compound interest and a job have the same disease: the sinful and voracious consumption of your time while forsaking control. Both variables within the Slowlane wealth equation are anchored by time — time traded in a job and time traded in market investments. Time becomes the linchpin for wealth that congenitally ties to the mathematical handicaps of mortality: 24 hours in a day and a 50-year work-life expectancy.
During a visit to the county landfill, I parked my truck in front of a junk heap and stared. As I meditated on the garbage piled as high as a demolished apartment building, it struck me that everything in this gigantic entangled mass was once new. State-of-the-art. An object of want. There were BBQ grills, bikes, toys, lawn furniture, stoves, picture frames, wine racks; it was a graveyard of past desires, a swollen scrap heap of residually accumulated consumption. Then I thought: Someone once opened their wallet, swiped a credit card, and bought this stuff. And now, here it lies as worthless junk, while its debt probably remains.
