HOW MUCH IS YOUR PRICE?

In this time, which crisis happen, many people hard to find a job. Some people take every job he can to increase their income. Some people have job that is not match with their education. It's not rare in this time.It is better to have a job that not match with our ability than jobless. At least you have money to buy some food. This crisis makes life harder and harder.

This situation sometimes make jobseeker 'decrease their price'. What does it mean? In interview, when the manager of human resource which interviewing you ask your salary, we are doubt to set our salary high. It's a double-edge sword. If you set your price to high, then maybe you will lost the chance to get the job. But if you set your price too low, I'll tell you, it's sucks.




I will not give you an example from old past figure such as Henry Ford or Dale Carnegie, someone else. I'll give you an example about myself. I don't live in America, I live in a country which the mnimum salary is too low. We can't save our money from the minimum salary. Cost of life is so high. It's a hard life isn't it? Ow, I'll tell you once again, it's the condition in which country I live, maybe it's different in your country. Here the story about me...

I am just a 19 years old and my highest education is Senior High School. And I am still in college now. In my country, maybe the highest salary for me is $100 a month, and it's gross salary, including cost to eat and transport. It's too low isn't it? And when you're graduate from college or university, your salary maybe just $150.

This situation makes me sick. I have to buy some medicine for my mom which had transplanted her kidney to take care of her kidney. I have to buy food for my family. I have to pay my own education. Ow, my mom still working to help but it's not enough.
Well, my situation is hard isn't it. I need job and high salary, but if I set my salary too high, I will lose the chance.



But I don't care. I know that I can do better than someone graduated from university. That's what I think and I set it deeper in my mind. I set it deeper that I can beat university graduated person. I set it in my mind, my price is high. YEAH!! MY PRICE IS HIGH!! It’s $$200. My salary is higher than the graduated one even my education is lower than them. It's true and It's the fact. My friend which is my classmate in colleger even get higher, his salary +/- $350

Me only work for 6 month to increase my salary around $50 in a place where increasement of salary is rare or only $10 for a year working. I have no work experience before. My friend has more experience than me. And you know what, my position in my office is a position which need knowledge that not match with my education background.

The key is, set it in your mind that you desire to get high salary or higher than now. And of course, use all of your knowledge, have anthusiasm. Make a new idea for your office. I always create a new idea for my office. And then I make my boss start to think about me.

So, HOW MUCH IS YOUR PRICE?

Manage Your Money or Increase Your Money
If you read the title, maybe you will think, it's not different at all and it seems alike. No doubt that the crisis of financial had make many people suffering. Many people lost their job. And so, they have to think how to survive. Well, one way to survive is to strengthen your belt. Save your money a lot. What I want to tell you is, in this time, many people afraid of making a breakthrough. If you know that you need more money, that you have to work hard to find it.

Manage your money or increase your money, there is a big different but still connecting each other. Manage your money will only make you stay in your house, calculatio your money with your family, and then you make a schedule about what you gonna buy next. It's not wrong at all because we need to make a shop list. But, let's see the impact. You will not increase your money, you just make your money fit enough to be used for your life or your family. Yes, you become an expert, but just an expert in managing money.



See the different with Increase your money. No matter how hard your life, you will find a way out of the financial crisis. Your brain think about how to make a breakthrough and automatically, it will move your legs to walk to find the source of money.

Manage is not the same meaning with Increase

Keep manage, manage, and manage, and you will find your life stay still like before. But use autosuggestion to your mind, think about how to increase your income, stay focus, and do your job man. Maybe you don't have anything as a capital to open a store or etc , but you still have one thing. YOURSELF. Everyone selling theirself. That's the fact.



When crisis is happen to you, we can see from two points of view. For example, Mr. X and Mr. Y. Let say that when crisis is happening to Mr. X, he become lazy, pity about hisself and blame God for what happen to him. Then he will sit and think, 'why this is happen'. He starts to count money on him to survive. And Mr. Y, has other point of view. The crisis is not a matter except he let the crisis destroy him. I repeat, SOMETHING WILL NEVER DESTROY YOU EXCEPT YOU LET THE THING DESTROY YOU. In this case, THIS CRISIS WILL NEVER GET ME DOWN EXCEPT I LET IT. So Mr. Y try everything he can do to survive, try everything to gain money, to increase his income.

For moeslems, this day is the best day in their life. Idul Fitri is a day that they are waiting for. After not eat and drink for a month, they have won the temptation and make relationship close to Allah. And the moment is also used to gather with family and give happiness to others. Father and mother give money to their children, new clothes, new toys to their kids. And so, they go somewhere for holiday. Time to rest after work hard in office. We can see alot of people visit department store to buy foot and drink, to buy clothes, and etc. Give a special gift to your family and lovely person!
