Money..Is it a product or a by product?

Money..one of the things that most of us think most about...And being a rational and a logical human being, there seems nothing wrong in it. We devote a good part of our life working ... and the need to work , though intellectuals might disagree , stems with the very first need to be self sufficient as an individual - to be independent and to be earning. How we might want to earn can though be a matter of choice.

So answering the question that I have often asked myself..what does money mean to me...to me money is a by product - A by product of what I do , and how I perform . I work for more things than money from job satisfaction to learning to growth - but the measure of success that I have for myself is the final end product - the pay cheque that I draw.

If one is useful to his organization and brings profit to the organization, the relationship should as well be profitable for the employee. And I firmly believe , that organizations let people stay if and only if they are profitable.No organization works for the people..they work for profits.

So returning back to the original thought , life is all about learning but the learning needs to be supported with growth in career and the growth should translate into a better quality of life and money , which is the end by product of all the permutations and combinations of efforts that one puts in..One should not want to keep doing a good or a great job and still remain at the same level as he/she is currently in...A bad feedback and therefore a worse compensation is better than a great job pat but the same pay cheque. If its the former , one has an option to improve or to search for alternate pathways if in case one disagrees..but with the latter,one is left wondering if its really a beautiful life or a life which is being made to look beautiful.
