For #30DaysofThreads I give you:

WHY YOUR TIME & FREEDOM ARE YOUR GREATEST ASSETS / HOW COMPANIES COMFORT YOU INTO ACCEPTING SLAVERY

Read this thread for a story to better understand..

...

Before I begin, I want to ask:

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST

VS.

WHAT DO YOU GIVE YOUR TIME AND FREEDOM TO THE MOST

HOW HAS THAT IMPACTED YOUR LIFE - GOOD & BAD?

Reply with some answers if you wish.

Once upon a time, in a far away land...

I'm just playing.
Here's the story.

In Africa, there was this RARE gazelle.

Despite previous attempts, NO ONE could catch the fine beast.

Until...

A successful business owner got news and decided he would catch the rare gazelle...

He flew down to Africa for a few months to study the animals.

He gained knowledge of their favorite things to eat, be around and how they live.

Then, BOOM

He had a plan to catch the gazelle.

HOW?

Let's find out...

He gathered all the food the gazelle loved based on his research:
- Hay
- Berries
- Apples

The business owner set everything the gazelle lived in an open field

Everyday the gazelle along with others came to take part in everything

The business repeated this for months
Then..

As time progressed, the number of gazelle that showed up grew.

They knew food was always there at specific time and they came the exact time for months.

Overtime, the business man put up single posts each night as the gazelle came.

They didn't notice at all.

After putting up a circle of posts, the business man continued to leave hay, berries, apples etc.

The gazelle LOVED it.
They loved it so much they didn't see the posts has now formed a circle and they were being fenced in...

ONE BY ONE

Making the entry point smaller each night

The business man eventually fenced it in all around with ONLY ONE entrance and exit

By now, the gazelle would trample each other to enter for their hay, berries and apples

Then the business man put up the last fence and did what no one else had done...

CATCH THE GAZELLE
But...

He didn't just catch ONE
He caught ALL OF THEM

Media outlets came to interview him and asked,
"No one hs ever done this, how did you catch them?"

The answer will tell you everything you need to know about the value of your time & freedom along with how people accepted slavery

The business man replied,

"I treat the gazelle like I do my employees. I give them comfort and a false sense of security and they give me their time, beauty and freedom."

The interviewer was speechless

Analyze your corporate life experiences in relation to your time& freedom

You got:
• Stable salary
• A company car
• Some company stock
• Benefits EVERYWHERE
• Employee parties & events

WHAT DID YOU GIVE UP?
• TIME
• BEAUTY
• DREAMS
• FREEDOM
• HAPPINESS
• POTENTIAL TO HELP OTHERS
• MOMENTS WITH FAMILY/FRIENDS

WHAT IS YOUR CAGE?

I don't have anything against education or traditional jobs

I love learning & earning as much as you do

But I strongly believe you should ESCAPE

(IF)

YOU VALUE YOUR TIME & FREEDOM

&

(IF)

YOU HAVE A GREATER PURPOSE

&

(IF)

YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY/FRIENDS ENOUGH TO CHANGE
