The pursuit of R950, 000.00

Have you ever noticed how much money drives one's life? From the first day
of school you were thinking about money. Oh, you think I am exaggerating!
Take this example. Your teacher asked you what did you want to be when you grow
up. You confidently raised your hand and said,' I want to be a doctor’. Some of you said something different. Did you think you would offer those services for free after all your teen years and early twenties' years of studying, just for an approval to diagnose people and give them prescription.
I understand that you are thinking, 'I was not thinking about money when I said that. ‘That’s true. You were not thinking about money, but let me tell you something, 'Before you went to your pre-school, for those who were lucky to have gone to one, you were taught that money does not come for free. You work for it.
I think you know by now why you choose to be a doctor when your teacher asked you in school. Money! One scarce commodity for human kind.
You might not have become a doctor due some unforeseen circumstances but did you lose your hope of working for money.
No! Despite your now improved knowledge of money as a scarce commodity and its need to be worked for, you trudged on. You went to register for another course in order to gain an advantage in the working world. You studied for whichever years that your course required and succeeded. The harsh reality! You realise that you have to market yourself through your skills, patience, planning, perseverance, experience and knowledge; you bear in mind the position matches your skills, experience, skills, passion and career aspiration. It is not an easy task but because that devilish motivator keep you going.
Eureka!
You receive a call asking you to come for an interview. You go to an interview. Well dressed, well prepared, having researched the company, arrive 13 minutes early. You meet the interviewer, who usher you to the interview room. You are asked questions which you answer confidently because you know. The interviewer gives an opportunity to ask questions. You do
not hesitate but ask relevant questions. Thereafter, you are told management will look at your profile and decide on your capabilities to meet their unique requirements on the job.
You are glad that at least you have been interviewed. You wonder whether you did well or not. After three to four days you get a call from the same company confirming your success on the interview. Bingo!
You now have a job. You choose to start immediately. However, you realise that, for you to remain successful, you must work extra smart and hard. Your salary
is of adequate means of realising you financial goals, which you outlined while in perfecting your career goals.
You need to drive a nice car, you need to live in a nice house, you need to wear nice clothes, you need to service your car, furnish your house, insure your car, yourself, your belongings, etc.
Of all pursuit, you courageously realise that you need to have at least R950, 000.00 in your investments to be financial secure.
Good luck to your pursuit, you said to yourself.
