I saw something deep today and thought to share.
The richest man in China once said:
“If you put bananas and money in front of monkeys, the monkeys will choose bananas because they don’t know that money can buy a lot of bananas.”
Now let’s bring that home.
Same thing happens with people. If you offer someone a business opportunity and a 9–5 job, most will go for the job—not because the business is bad, but because they don’t understand the long-term value.
Salary gives you something to live on.
Profit gives you something to build on.
But many of us were trained to follow a pattern: go to school, get good grades, secure a job, and keep moving up the ladder. Nobody really teaches you how to think like an owner or how to build wealth from scratch.
That’s why a lot of people stay stuck in survival mode. They don’t realize that working for yourself might be tough at first, but the rewards are bigger down the line.
What do you think?
Is salary safer? Or should more people be thinking business?
