When is enough?
I have had this question in mind for way too long. What is enough? When is enough? How long do I have to carry on?
I cam across this wonderful post on Instagram that talked about the fisherman and Banker parable.
A Banker on his visit to a village saw a fisherman, chilling and fishing. He asked him," how long do you fish for?" The fisherman said "for sometime you know.." " and then what do you do?" Asked the Banker.
" I fish for sometime, then I give the fish to my wife, who cooks it for me, then we dance to the music drinking wine."
" You're doing it all wrong!" said the Banker. "First, you need to fish for longer, and then sell the extra fish at a profit, then you can buy a boat and fish more and create an enterprise."
"And then what?" asked the fisherman. The Banker said " Then you can make a company, register it and make millions!" "And then?" The fisherman asked again. " Then you can move to a village, fish for leisure, drink and spend time with your wife!"
hahah, such an irony. I guess enough is when you know more adds nothing.
I imagine about such a state, won't that be beautiful.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑This only sounds good in story. In real life you have a lot more expenses to take care of. Dont start a compant waste your entire life but dont settle down for mediocrity. Strike the balance between comfort and time.
Ofcouse, reality is hell Lotta different, I just liked that romantic aspect of it. Balance, as you said is the key and I feel that’s what many people can’t achieve XDD
How much is enough?.
My theory is a business big enough that it can generate 125% profit of your net expenses. Meaning if you expense is 100, your business should generate 125. 2 times the amount required to start the business from scratch. And 1 house to live.
You said it exactly like the theory I have learnt. May I ask what freelancing service do you provide?
