The secret for wealth accumulation

Mankind is torn apart by worries, long hours of work and ambitious thinking as a way of counteracting the overbearing cares, responsibilities and accumulating bills.

Mankind is torn apart by worries, long hours of work and ambitious thinking as a way of counteracting the overbearing cares, responsibilities and accumulating bills.

This has resulted into spending huge amounts of our time struggling to survive instead of living. People experience a perilous voyage of hard work and little rest, worries and stress, pressure, heart and other health complications which emanate from the frustrations of survival.

All this shortens the time of our existence in this world if not ending it within the blink of an eye. But what is so heart-breaking is the fact that regardless of all that toil, we don’t accumulate enough wealth for us and our families.

This is principally due to people’s fatalistic beliefs and attitudes of ‘that’s how we were fated to be,’ hence giving up the fight and being satisfied with the little they have.

Some people have apportioned the blame to the sinister land mark of bad history left behind by the colonialists that was characterized by sabotage and exploitation.

Well this could be true to some certain extent because their overtones of indoctrinating dependence in African countries can even be heard today.

However, the time is ripe to stop apportioning blame so that everyone embarks on efforts and strategies directed at accumulating wealth, and this time in colossal amounts.

As a way of leveling the ground for wealth accumulation, dreaming and thinking big beyond what our eyes can see and logic conceive should be considered.

The benchmark of realizing a state of being wealthy lies between the lines of valuing and working towards self autonomy, adding value to our resources thus material and time with a goal of directing our own destinies.

Regardless of people’s current positions in this life, everyone should focus his or her efforts, faculties and resources towards creating systems like companies, business corporations, and organizations as a way through which wealth can be created, accumulated and sustained as opposed to focusing on today’s survival.

People should also develop a culture of working for generations, marrying hard work with strategic thinking which leads to strategic working relations. Networking and information gathering are yet other aspects that should be critically considered in this regard.

Strategic positioning of one’s life, that’s to say a person associating with environment rich in opportunities and operating beyond borders, means that a person should not be barred by territorial boundaries in his or her chase for opportunities.

Breaking the monotony of routine operation is identified as a way of nurturing an entrepreneurial culture, whereby new dimensions and forms of creating values are innovated through trying out new things and learning through mistakes.
