Saving money or saving time?
2011-12-27
One day in 1998, I've ever walked across several unfamiliar blocks in Beijing for about 8 hours. Why? Only for saving RMB 10 from taking a taxi.
Nowadays, sometimes, I still did so.
However, let us do a calculation.
Supposed one can earn RMB 10,000 a month. A month has about 4 weeks. Each week has 40 working hours. Then 10,000/160 = RMB 62.5 per hour = RMB 1 per minute.
If you earn RMB 15,000 a month, then it is RMB 1.5 per minute.
forget about the "time is Money", when you get old enough you might think both time and money means nothing. I am just pessimistic some time, oh most of the time.
Life is focuses on the enjoyment, and the money is one part of our life. The most important is happiness.
sometime you take 1 hour to wark the block ,witch make you happy and relax .
sometime you make RMB 100 per hour ,but you lost your health .
so it is no wealth to compare time with many
Hehe,
a German Blue Collar Worker can easily waste more money commuting a day then than chinese workers or employees may earn a month then.
communication:
To get as much as possible information from body and oral language.
To grasp the important one such as the possible deadline and feedback quickly.
Be relax when being relax is required.
Be serious when being serious is requried.
And so on.
Communication is far more than memorizing the price.
A guy can sell 100 pairs of shoes in a month.
B guy can sell 200 pairs of shoes in a month.
Probably, B guy has a high skills in communication.
i am also poor in communication , especially in a noisy surroundings , because i can not keep a clam brain nor consider a good solution , so i am not a businessman , i remember one year i helped my uncle look after his shop , i had confidence to manage it , because i had a gift on math , it just a lilttle case for me .
but , i was wrong , one day when i saw someone came into the shop , i welcome him or her and asked what he or she wants , they just looked around , then said " what 's the price of this , and how much is that " for many times , when they selected one good , i replied it is XX yuan , but they said " i will buy something else " ,and i have to caculate the price again, sometimes many people came to buy many things togahter at a time , i asked them to wait for their turns , and they uaually did not content this , my brain nearly can not work , then errors can not be avoid.
i really do not like it
Part of your words are right.
in addition:
1. From the persepctive of narrow economics, if you earn RMB 1 million one month, or more, maybe you would employ a 24-hour housekeeper.
2. A day has both the relax hours and the busy hours. Probably you would create more values in busy hours. And we can't apply the value of busy hours as a common value of 24 hours a day.
