When The Funds Are Low and The Debts Are High
Posted by: hanlere on: September 16, 2008
I admit I am a worrier. I always worry about a lot of things. But among all the worried-items on my list, I always worry about money. It’s not that I am a walking-money-faced individual and here are my reasons:
- I am the eldest child among 5 siblings, all of them are still in school
- My father has no stable job, the money he earns everyday is just enough for my family’s food
- My mother is a clinical instruction but she’s sick…she’s having a daily medication
- My net income every month is just around Php 8,000.00
- I am renting a room for me and my sister, aside from the room we need to pay for the electricity we consumed, our drinking water and LPG share
- I have almost a total of Php 10,000.00 debt in my credit card
- I need to buy medicine for my allergy
- other things
But then, as I look at the broader scence, who doesn’t have financial problems. I bet even the world’s billionaires and millionaires have their own dose when their stocks go down and the value of the currency they are using is low.
Every one wanted to have additional allowances from their company since the prices of basic commodities increased as well as the transportation fare. Lucky are those who have soft-hearted employers and unfortunate are those who have tight-fisted employers. I can say better luck next time.
Just relax for we are on the same boat. Let’s be comforted by the fact that we are being held in palm of the One who has created this universe. Yes, it can be easy to let ourselves fall into the trap of worrying about money. But, we must learn to trust God for He will take care of us and provide for us, just as He takes care of the birds of the air.
Welcome To The Corporate World!

Survival of the fittest! Whether we like this idea or not, it’s the truth and nothing but the truth. We have to strive hard in order to survive and live life into the fullest.
People tend to be always the number 1, especially in terms of their careers. No wonder why politics reached the corporate world. Some times they are being exaggerated by dying for it and playing old dirty tricks. They want to gather all the stars, all the honor and all the glory just for themselves. But they didn’t realize that it is okay to settle for number 2.
There are more reasons for living than making a nice income such as keeping a healthy marriage, raising a family, staying in shape, and enjoying one’s job. I am sorry to tell you that money is not enough, earning more than anyone else is useless if you’re becoming bored with your work. You should wake up from your long and empty sleep because you’ve been following someone else’s dream!
As we all plunge into this world, be sure to remember these painful but true facts courtesy of Tonet’s Daily:
“Corporations are faceless industries. They do not care about how you feel, your personality or whether or not you’re happy. Corporations care about end results. That is all they care about. They want you to produce and they don’t care how you do it. Whether you work 18 hours overtime, whether you work every weekend, whether you work every lunch, does not matter to them.”
So if you want to be a star or model employee but it seems that all your efforts aren’t just enough, don’t fret for according to Napoleon Hill, “Effort only full releases its reward after a person refuses to quit”.
When your work goes wrong as they sometimes will, when your tasks fades your smile and makes you sigh, when you’re already sick and tired, there’s still a reason to rejoice and be glad. There is more that this… Welcome to the corporate world!
