@michaelofurum: Funny enough no one likes talking about things like this. I have always had this mentality of hoping that my talents will lead to my financial freedom. As a person with great love for photography I found out that with time it seems I'm not even taking pictures just because I love taking pictures but because I have to pay bills, and such mentality deprives you the love you actually had for it. I think we just have to strike a balance and do things with the right intentions and for the right reasons.
@depressedfuckup: The luckiest are those that can afford doing the things they love without affording any monetary expectations to it. This is a very wise thing you said right here, man. People who are passionate about their jobs tend to excel at them, because unlike others, they’re not just looking at the salary at the end of the month, but they enjoy the process, the work involved, the thinking, crafting and every bit of what they’re doing. A salary is a plus to them. We have many people working jobs they hate because of the pressure of responsibility. Expectations lead to frustration. Even a talented who has placed so much expectation on earning from their talent might be dispirited to feeling like they’re not really as talented. Not earning as much as you thought your talent is worth might have you questioning the worth of what you’re bringing to the table. Are you not that good? Do people not find your talent worth what you think it should be? I don’t watch football much so I don’t think I’ll know the footballer you were talking about, but whoever it is did good for the well being of his family and theirs.
@practicaleric: Excellent post, doing what one loves and learning how to monetize it, is the key to financial freedom. Most times using that talent to help others solve their problems is where it's at. Most people whether rich or poor have a problem, once you can come up with solutions, money will follow you. Thank you so much for sharing anf keep enjoying your weekend :}
@jjmusa2004: Thank you for this, sometimes I feel passion alone is not enough in Nigeria probably as a result of the system. Hence, the need for combination of both. Passion that does not find the right channel also gets wasted. Another factor is that, employers seek out experience when there is little or no exposure yet for the talent and skill to be manifested. I believe with passion well channeled, our skills and talents may become more relevant than our careers
