TIME IS MONEY! Or is it? What about VALUE?

Being superficial does not add value to your life or anyone else. It may seem that way in the short term, but I'm in it for the life experience and today, like everyday, is just one tiny portion of my future. SHORTCUTS----DON'T SOLVE PROBLEMS. To have a good life you need to SOLVE PROBLEMS.. And TIME IS NOT MONEY, like they try to teach or push in western culture.. Adding VALUE to your life and other's isn't judged by a dollar symbol---you either do or do not. Also, this brand of western thinking about money has damaged society severely---creating shallow relationships, environmental damage, a debt based economy, and corruption.. Value is not money, it often results in money in the long term though---so focus on value and not money.

Probably the worst advice you can give a poor person is time is money..

I was thinking about this today... About money and in terms of helping people, and making improvements...

Helping people or yourself isn't always about making money...

Just imagine if whenever you talked to someone, you started a clock, and then demanded pay after the conversation.. It would be awkward in most cases, but that's actually the mindset of western culture and capitalism.. You can make more money by providing long term value and actually solving long term problems.

If you were in a field and charged a client for time that would be one thing.. But, nevertheless, the time is money concept doesn't solve a problem and it doesn't add value. 

Creating value adds value. Even if you are in a field you still have to be able to create value or solve a problem which is part of CREATING VALUE for yourself or someone else or just society in general. The result of not adding value is bad reputation, bad relationships, and ultimately demanding something that a superficial freak using the concept TIME IS MONEY does and ultimately fail in dead end jobs scraping for money to pay bills by overthinking money...  

Time is not money.  You either use your time appropriately or you expect a ship to roll in with rewards. Some people are lost in a dream and expecting unrealistic things of life.... If you are not getting paid it's because you didn't create enough value for someone else.. You may get gifts, or you may be able to get money by demand it, but it's not long lasting. You become dependent on that mindset and a slave to a clock rather than creating value and solving problems.

We live in a capitalist society and in order to survive, yes we have to have money but it is just a medium of exchange.. I used to have that mindset---time is money... and that my time is important in terms of money. It really isn't.. I can make money by creating value and providing something for my time that creates value. Rewards don't always come in the form of money either. 

Time is important, but a piece of paper should not define what task you do.. Yes, I do business.. I'm an Amazon FBA seller, but in order to make money I have to provide value.. Everything I do is not going to make money.. It will in terms of what they call passive income.. Every problem I solve puts me on the path to make money..I work in the water industry and my time creates money, but I created value by having the knowledge and then I was paid for it for the unpaid time I used in creating value for myself and society.  Was time money while I was educating myself? It was not, but people try to judge you while you are doing things that don't generate value in the long term.  That mindset about money and not value not only harms yourself it also hurts society--- because it leaves the greedy in charge if you follow them. 

With relationships in life you make friends, who you may learn from and they may learn from you.. This provides value to your life and also other people.. I know it may seem counter productive to add value to another person's life, but it is truly not.. You of course don't want to waste your time with some people and that's not the point..

Value shouldn't  be applied in terms of money... It can generate money by being able to solve problems.. Thinking of terms of ---apply a clock--- / start the timer to everything you do, causes stress and stress causes heath problems. Health problems cause thinking problems.. When you are unhealthy mentally and physically you cannot add value to your life or others if you were healthy.. Time either creates value or it doesn't.. Whether money is created in the short term is not the issue if you are in it for the long haul.. You do what you will to survive, but lose the I must get paid for every portion of life.. Promote the concept of creating value every chance you can get..
