LinkedIn is considered a "precious tool" in Western society. Everyone in the workforce meticulously crafts their LinkedIn profile to make it look impressive, using grandiose language to advertise themselves as “cool.”
. . .
While browsing social media, I stumbled upon a funny and sarcastic post on social media about how people try to ‘polish’ their LinkedIn profiles. Here’s what it said:
And perhaps many of us have been in that situation (myself included), where we pamper our LinkedIn accounts, treating them like treasures, ultimately just to “compete” for a place in the routine of commuting to the office in the morning and returning home in the evening.
For those fortunate enough to work in jobs they are passionate about, this doesn’t apply, but many people have to do jobs they dislike. All of this is just because of the relentless pursuit of livelihood, trading it for a paycheck at the end of each month. To let it take over the best and most vibrant years of our lives—years we could have used to live a more fulfilling life.
The most effective way to break free from this cycle is to invest in ourselves and relentlessly pursue financial freedom. So that one day, we can live life on our own terms.
Undoubtedly, along the journey I've traversed, I've made numerous mistakes. Yet one thing I can wholeheartedly affirm is that I have no regrets about my youth—and that realization brings me joy.
The goal of financial freedom isn't to be rich, but to be truly free. It's about having the freedom to choose.
FIRE has freed me from the pressure to flaunt my experiences or uphold a facade of professionalism. I'm finally able to live life on my own terms.
I no longer have to play that game.
F*ck you money!
Wishing you strength and perseverance on your journey toward financial freedom.
