Discussion Empowering ourselves through skill, wit and grit.

[Sovereign]

"One should not act without careful consideration."
"A person cannot do things without considering the consequences and leave no way out."
From: Prof. Bao Pengshan on The Book of Lord Shang

Work of the modern day is but slavery under a new name. If we labor, towards what end? If we sweat, what for? If we die trying to work, what then was the value of that which we died working for? I present to you all an idea or rather a way of brain storming for ideas, tactics and strategies that will give us the power over the bosses rather then them having power over us; for when man found that he could command the elements nature thus taught him one thing "In order to command nature, you first must obey it" said Francis Bacon. Jobs today are but chains plebians wear today. So I ask you all, what are ways we can empower ourselves that we may not be at the behest of money or the will of another?

The first to come to mind are these things:

1. Pick a skill and not a degree "A degree you can turn away, a skill you cannot".

2. Pick a universal skill that no one can turn down no matter how much they hate you.

3. Methods by which we can accurately and efficiently do our jobs within the shortest amount of time.

4. The use of little lies in order to deceive the bosses that we may not be at their mercy.

5. The use of knowledge about a business or field we wish to go into and use to our ends.

6. By what means can individuals within that field to help or hinder us?

7. By what means can we financially secure ourselves & protect ourselves against the will of those who would rather we be poor?
