Practical optimism

In the quest of life, it is imperative to gain practical insight in managing one's life. Following this principle, of many of my principle, would enhance my ability to increase my financial discipline. In my relationship with people in general, it would be in my interest to relate non financially, because sharing my money with all the people I come to contact with will hold back my plans for the future. It is also within my financial benefit to scale down my spending on most small things.


Talking plans: I have come to understand that I am a dreamer who try harder to realise them. My current plans stands as the most defining motivation for my waking up every morning to work even harder than yesterday. It is within my interest to ensure that when it comes to money, women have been labeled as the pocket-drainers. This however, will not stop me from sticking to my current relationship commitment but I must ensure that I do not let her drain my energies for financial success. I will use every subtle manipulation technique available to ensure we do not get ourselves into unnecessary financial difficulty. I will use every strength to discipline myself into saving quite a substantial amount of money in my unit trusts and share trading account. Over the next three or four months I will be liable to pay lobola to my girlfriend's family. An amount of R15,000,00 is what they have charged me and require every discipline there is in my power to make it happen.
To further cut costs on my financial life I have come to feel comfortable about my dream car that I bought in the last two months. Being comfortable with my mini cooper will ensure there will be less mechanical faults. Furthermore, I have come to learn that I will need to take better extra care of myself; starting from ensuring I clean the house, wash dishes,my office cubicle all every appliance that is required clean. I have come to understand that doing so will not be easy but I upbeat that I have enough tact, diplomacy and discipline to see it through.
Lastly, just like any other living human being, I would like to close this argument by making a wish: I wish lady luck can direct me to situations where I get R260,000,00.

Survival without much effort

It's clear, isn't it? Ask yourself. What is it that is clear? Well, in almost every individuals state of affairs, monetary survival stakes enough claim. Why money? There is imagination intense problem which has gripped the world with highly misunderstood conception. Recession! It rings bell to most you. It is said that the world is under recession. In my limited understanding, this means there less finance lying around. What resulted in this unhealthy financial situation is unclear to me because if there's less money lying around. Where did the money go?

I'm not trying to state that there's no truth about this whole situation but what is questionable is the practicality of recession. What statistics has advanced the practicality economic performance. I have given up my faith in economic data since it does bode well with my values about living condition. If economics is the measure of overall human living conditions, what power does this have on the psychology of human mind. A human mind which resisted every technique imagined to see through it. However, it would be blind faith to state that one should ignore looking at the data available to get glimpse of what forward plan is there to make economic progress.

As for my immediate situation there's latent concern for recession to get poor. It is not my principle to show off or reveal my faith since I would like to let faith stay in my heart. For the past few weeks I have managed to achieve what might be called 'creative destruction'. This, in practice, refers to my having acquired my long held dream car, got approval for a house. All this defies recession fears. Furthermore, there's lobola that would be taking place this week. Marrying the girl of my dream is another step toward fulfilling life adventure I held dearly to my heart. It is my intention to live life to the fullest. I have learnt that following one's instinct to do the right thing is normally the surest way to go. But I must confess that most of this minor successful steps may be attributed to my girlfriend. Although I have planned to achieve those things, it came earlier than expected. Through her, I have learned to be diplomatic, reveal my emotionally romantic side.
Because no human being has lived without frailties of some sort, I must admit that it's not all things go. My financial side has been affected. While I plan to make manage my financial standing shrewdly, it will be not long before I come up with another method to resurrect my investments to both mine and her benefit.
On some of my articles earlier in this blog, I have hinted on my intentions to be more adventurous with my life.
Some failures that occurred was my degree which I had registered for. I dropped out before writing my exams. Reasoning behind was the pressure to focus much on the practical side of my life to make it even more beautiful through long held plans. I have found that to trust on my brains and collecting as much information to beef up my living standard would do much better without a degree. I like to believe that I have potential, via my deeply held dreams, plans and strategy to make through this trying times.
If a man thinketh and therefore he is, then it would be within my entrenched hard work to apply thorough care, commitment, and perseverance in bringing together an orderly, highly organised attitude towards my work and life area.
In essence, survival without effort is a hindsight of painstaking planning and execution and I'm hoping like hell that my self-discipline will come into the rescue to weather the economic storm for financial security and long lasting security.
