You know iv at least done this several times in my life.. you would think that a person could learn to do what is in their best interest but.. apparently not.
Most recently the stubburness was when my coworkers applied for the same position as we hold now.. but new starters get better shift patterns.
I was ok with what management had given us and grateful to even have a permanent position that was given late last year.
Turns out the new title has a 1200 wage increase also..so I had to apply later.. that's like a years worth of commuting money!
Before that it was being "loyal" to my department head.. who apparently didnt need me when he got back from time away at another office.
Before that it was questioning the morality/ethics of my degree and profession before graduating...
None of those were smart decisions.
Even wanting to work hard and earn an honest days wage will probably only get you so far.
You just have to jump from stepping stone to stepping stone.. while knowing in which direction you want to go.
And try not to die everytime you fall off.
Make smart choices.
Even wanting to be more moral can have negative implications.. defined as sanctimonious.
I didnt mean literally die in most cases.. just a lot of struggle if you cant write yourself a better future.
I'm actually really clever and well off.. there was a time where I would constantly remind people of it.
The world is what you make of it really.
...I wonder how your going to buy a house.. or a car.. or a more reliable car.. or plan for children..or a wife.
It's how most peoples lives go.
Make the right choices and tomorrow will be easier.. I have no idea about the hereafter though.
..I'm sure you will get better answers from others.
In the end Allah swt is the provider.. people are driven by more things than they care to admit.. just turn up at the right time and it will mean something better to them.
