Earning It Beats Inheriting It

Earning It Beats Inheriting It

Please DON'T get me wrong.  I like and I love to be inheriting.  It's the best thing that we can receive BUT come to think of it, isn't it Earning It Beats Inheriting It?  I was watching the Netflix Series 'Inventing Anna [Episode 2 - The Devil Wore Anna] and I did catch this very relevant one-liner that Earning It Beats Inheriting It and instantly, I got this realization that this message really resonates with me because in the first place, my parents [who worked hard for our education and future] were, sadly, financially strapped to even let us inherit possessions that are liquid enough.  It was a realization that was NOT late because every step of my run [even before hitting the next pit stop], I badly knew that I need to grind and EARN it

Even in the rat race out there, with so much entitlement these days, it is NOT surprising why so many real estate agents and even account portfolio officers feel like they DON'T need to [or SHOULDN'T have to] learn HOW to get their own clients.  They join a team WHERE everything is handed to them, they NEVER have to generate their own leads [from a sales perspective]

Let's face it, many of us take many things for granted especially when we are given things on a SILVER PLATTER.  Surely we would have witnessed this, whether in friendships, family, love, or even the smallest things in life.  DON'T look far.  Instead, let's relook at those friendships.  Would you prefer to find an 'instant' friend who happens to be a friend of your friend?  OR do you want to build a friendship on your own volition?

American Bassist Billy Cox was aptly quoted  about RESPECT.  And the best example here is the Japanese Culture where RESPECT, while it is inherited, it is always EARNED.  And from a human standpoint, how does it feel when you did EARN the RESPECT you deserved?  Contrast it to an authoritarian manner where it happens by duress❓❓❓

Taking things further, when it comes to RESPECT, earning it has been proven when you yourself will give that RESPECT on your own volition.  Let's swing over to our family relationships.  Rather than enforce things [like via 'BRUTE FORCE'], think about it if you let the water run spontaneously and exert everything from your end, all in GOOD FAITH because that leads you to be a step closer to that expectation which you know you deserve.  Going back to financials from an EARNING versus INHERITANCE, it's even a no-brainer.  By EARNING it with your sweat, the more you'll prove that you deserve every $$$$ you EARNED❗❗❗
