Still not enough words to explain ...

Every great river is surrounded by tributaries. When a new source of value or a new form of leverage is found, it soon becomes clear that the wealthy do not become wealthy by making others poor. They become wealthy by making others wealthy. - "Your Life Your Legacy" by Roger Hamilton
According to Markus' comment, it might be, that I haven't chosen the right words. I still have to say, of course it is about money. Without money, no food and no shelter. And I am getting sick of it to fight every month to pay the bills. The great system which was set up by any government in the world a couple of decades ago, cannot give the security anymore, as it was made for. No job is safe ... just look at the current case of Nokia in Germany. The system I mean is, getting said when u can take holidays and how long for, when you can have lunch and in most cases, the boss decides on how much money you get at the end.

But why should someone else decide about my life? I want to be responsible for my life. And therefore I prefer freedom over the so called security. I am ready to move beyond job security and begin to find my own world of financial freedom.
The only difference between a rich person and a poor person is what they do in their spare time. - Rich Dad (Robert T. Kiyosaki)


What about my passion of science? I still love my proteins. After two years in my PhD I have seen, read and experienced cutting edge research. There are parts I am disappointed in, some are inspiring and some are sad. Then we have Craig Venter, just puzzling together the first artificial organism. And what do common people actually see at the end? The gap is just growing like mad. Who can follow all this? What does the media tell you? What is the truth? What is reality? I think, there is something odd? There is a group of people out there doubting that HIV causes AIDS.

I am currently in a kind of transition state, reviewing all my beliefs and asking myself, why do I believe this and that? Mostly it is because someone told me or I read it in books or just low self-confidence. But isn't that weird? There is a system set up that teaches us what we have to believe. Everyone has his/her own reality, living in her/his own world of his/her own beliefs. And I believe, for living you don't need a job, like everybody else says.

Hopefully I will get clearer with my words, it might be still quite confusing. But thoughts are just coming and going. Still tricky to catch them and put them down.

Have a great weekend! Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy :o)
