In today's marketplace, a lot of people are earning a passive income. These are employees or self-employed people whose wealth only make up 10% of world's wealth. Those who are poor continues to be poor and those who are wealthy becomes more wealthy. For those who are in the middle, their professional skills are in the risk of being disposed because unlike the boomer ages, their job is not life guaranteed. So how do we approach this changing world so we are not stressed out?
One of the keys is to make "Money work for you" instead of "working for money" by investing something that will grow itself in a few or 10 years. It can be physical, mental, emotional and spiritual things that you can invest. Another key is to maintain life balance by managing and making wise choices. Also, one will need to learn how to take breaks to rest (Matthew 11:28) and take small steps to transform oneself (Romans 12:1-2).
I especially like 斗叔's Federer analogy of "Move in Balance" where he points out the key of Federer's success in tennis is knowing the:
- basis of power, control, endurance, timing, recovery & good vision
- core skill to keep empowering & enjoying
- key to make the game look easy
- links between the physical, mental, emotional & spiritual
Finally, i love 斗叔 because he's like a sponge who absorbs great ideas and re-interpret the ideas into his christian faith that works for today's world (note: he deletes anything that's bad against his core christian moral values). He's never bias and willing to listen to anyone because he thinks anyone has something he can learn from. This is an attitude Ros had pointed out to me and i love to learn from.
