Blank.
“Blank” is how one can describe this blog for the past 12 months. I planned to write about lots of things but I never really had enough will to start. So when did I find the time to write this first entry? Well, now I’m in front of my office desk, trying to finish a dreaded presentation for a convention that I am invited to talk to in three days. And all I can think about is my future which is getting brighter or gloomier by the second, depending on what angle you are looking from.
I am a 25-year old typical guy who works for a typical company with a typical salary, typical (semi-non-existent) benefits. And out of a sheer dream to gradually succeed in the corporate world, I want my way out. You know, to try new things… learn new things… earn and buy new things… things that typical young professionals drool about at this point of their careers, well at least if they’re serious about it. If they are inspired, driven, competitive; if they dream…
But that’s only one variable to the equation…
They say dreams are free. But why keep dreaming if you can actually reach for it? Why bother (day) dreaming when you can actually do something about it? All you need is to pay the price. That, my friends, is ECONOMICS. Plain and simple. And now I coin the term DREAM ECONOMICS, where I constantly ask the question: what do you have to pay to live your dreams? I am telling you right now, it’s not free.
The famous economics quote “there’s no such thing as free lunch” says it all.
Join me as I share with you my thoughts on careers, sports, economics, movies, relationships, politics, society, gadgets, cars, problems growing up, being successful in life, et cetera. Dig into the realms of dreaming big, aiming high, falling hard, and the learning curve we all face every day. I am your Dream Economist. Let’s all get a better life for ourselves. Who’s with me?
Happy to see you've started blogging. I hope you keep at it. Word of advice: write often, and write for yourself. You can't go wrong that way.
