Work Work Work...that's all I hear these days. He wakes up as early as
4am getting set for work and arrives at night, not earlier than 11pm everyday.
My husband, Jude now gives all his attention to his work at the expense of us,
his wife and children. Yes, he is the best husband any woman can have and he
sure works very hard to satisfy us but I still need him present at home, we
need him. Since he got a job with this new
company...we lost him. Even at home, he is thinking of work on his table at the
office. My children keep asking "where is daddy?"
Before daddy comes
in, they are already asleep and before they wake up, he is off to work...for me
that is still up, if I touch him this way or that way...he complains,
"honey I am very tired" so for weeks, we hardly make love. Instead, he
would bring out files and continue working till about 2am...
Come to think of
it, yes, the pay is better than what he used to earn and I am happy for
that...but I don't want him away all day and all night, everyday. I have been
bearing this for the past six months and I am writing now because he is now on
admission due to high blood pressure.
This is the third admission in 2 months.
Doctors say he needs rest.
Bondedhome Counsellors, I had to cut the long story short. Only if Jude
and all of us who do white collar jobs look inward and put all those hours,
resources, abilities and potentials into our own jobs, our own creations; by
now, we would all be smiling to the bank in our own little ways.
Deut 28:12 The Lord will open to you His good treasure,
the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the
work of your hand.
Note: This verse did not say and to bless the work of your
Masters hand.
This is a statistic I drew up from my white collar sojourn so far..I do
9hrs daily, 54hrs weekly, 234hrs in a month, 2802 hrs in a year and now
14,040hrs in 5yrs. Now take a second and calculate yours. Done? Now imagine if
you have put all those hours into your
own business? Wouldn't it have yielded? Don't get me wrong. I know some people
who are very comfortable with their white-collar income...this may not be your
article...but don't forget, "you can't be richer than your boss". The
richest men and women are those who run their own businesses.
What do you think?
Is she making a point?
Are you satisfied with your work statistics viz a viz your achievements?

I just did my statistics and mehn, i am not happy about it. One must begin to learn how to start, no matter how small. The only was to start is to start. Nice one blogger. everyone should actually read this.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should add this component to the statistics- divide the amount you are paid by the number of of hours you work in a month, that should give you what you are worth per hour. Or better still what your boss thinks you are worth
ReplyDeleteIndispensable man. Got to think and utilize your precious life and time very well. It really pays to have your time for yourself
ReplyDeleteds article is an eye opener bros. nice job...may God hep us to make great decisions. Truly e no ez
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea n nice topic. Soul torturing. Nobody no like better thing but na how to start be d koko. The capital
ReplyDeleteLet's not be too fast to conclude or condemn white collar jobs or maybe counting it as a waste of time because if am asked to say I will tell you most of our directors once worked under someone but on the other hand we must not look for the over time demanding jobs so as to maintain and keep up our responsibility as husbands,fathers,mothers and wives. let's set priorities .Finally, Everybody must not be a boss cause all fingers are not equal.

My candid take on this is: many success stories started from ground zero. That said, Not everyone gets that lucky in business! May God help us all! The hustle continues! Joshe El-Mero @merotiwon1
ReplyDeleteStarting small is key. this is a very good one. nice one blogger
ReplyDeleteHmmmm! Interesting... powerful write up will share with my team.
ReplyDelete"Rlch Men at d Castle poor Men at d gate" l wonda what wil be d fate of our young generation n children, if fathers n mothers continu to negelct there childrn. It wil increase illitrace, uneducated graduates and so many social vices. There is a great need for enterprenur awerenss, strategically.
ReplyDeleteThis is really good. Thought provoking I must say. Its just like a slam dunk!!! A terrible blow aimed right at the lower region of my abdomen! This actually happened to me! I was ill for months and had to quit the job. Wasn't funny at all......
ReplyDeleteAs for me, am not against a self established business. But before we leave our basic salary jobs for such, we shud make sure we have a solid and good overview of the very business plan so as to avoid unnecessary bad credit or bankrupt at last. As for the woman whose husband is nt always around, I advice her to make do with the little time she can get frm the husband, cos the man can't just quit working to please the family. Not working at all aint good at all. Chibisluv
