Are you a RAT RACER or a FAST TRACKER?

Are you a RAT RACER or a FAST TRACKER?

But What Exactly Is The “Rat Race”?

Every morning, you get up and prepare yourself to go to work. You shower, eat

your breakfast, get dressed and travel by bus/MRT/LRT/cab or drive your car to your office. You reach your office, go to your cubicle, sit down and switch on your computer. And the first thing you do when your computer’s switched on is you check your email!

I know because I’ve seen countless people and they all tell me the same thing. After you go through “email hell”, you watch the clock and find out that lunch’s just around the corner. And so you zip down to favorite eatery that you’ve been dining at everyday for the last 5 years.

You finish your meal and then you head back up to your desk, sit down at your chair and wish that you could just fall asleep! Who else knows that after lunch feeling?

But you can’t.

You boss is yelling for you to get this report prepared and done, your inbox just flooded in with another gazillion emails chasing you for all this work that needs to be done.

Somehow you manage to pull yourself together, endure the pain and get back to doing your chores. You finish that report, you reply to those gazillion emails and in fact, you even manage to squeeze in some extra time to handle that nasty customer that’s been a constant thorn in your neck.

So you finish your work for the day, five o’clock comes and you take the bus/train or drive your car through peak hour traffic back home. You come home to your family, you have dinner and take the nice warm shower that just feels so good. Maybe you sit down to watch television or you read the papers and before you know it, it’s coming to midnight. So it’s off to bed and you wake and you repeat this all over again!

You get two to three weeks paid vacation/sick leave each year and occasional for overtime work.You get paid by your employer for your services every payday. If you don’t like your job anymore, you find another employer for better pay. Year in, year out, it’s the same routine.

You see, when you work for somebody else and not for yourself, you are focusing your efforts in making somebody else richer.

And that is called the “Rat Race”.

But it’s no fairy tale. This is happening everyday, everywhere for countless people just like YOU.

Let me ask you this: “Do you honestly like this feeling?” And I know the answer is that you don’t.

So why are you still doing it? And why have you been doing it for the last 5, 10, 20, even 30 years?

You have the choice, be a Rat Racer all your life. Or be a Fast Tracker. It’s never too late to start.
