^^hindi mo ma gets from the scenerio? Kawawa ka naman... you don't take into account how the real world works... or you're just really clueless.

 

Why do you insist on using different kinds of commodities for your examples? Premium coffee vs 3 in 1? WTF.

 

That is an absurd sample of showing fairness. That just goes to show how disconnected you are with your fellow men. Typical elitist view...

Because a rich person can afford premium coffee that is 25 times more expensive that the 3-in-1 an ordinary person normally drinks. You enjoy what you can afford. What's unfair about that?

 

An ordinary person can also spend his whole day's food budget to buy the same premium coffee. Nobody's stopping him. But would he? That's his choice.

 

That's the real world. There are rich people and there are poor.

 

Typical elitist view?

 

Rich people are typically more disciplined, takes on more responsibilities, makes better financial decisions, takes risks, and is willing to sacrifice small things now to gain better returns tomorrow, while poor people typically behaves the opposite.

 

That's an elitist view.

 

Disprove it.

No need. You've just proved my point: elitists like you are disconnected from the other 80% of Filipinos.

pwned!!!

 

You cannot disprove it because it is the general truth.

 

Actually it is not an elitist view. You can find it in almost all books on how to succeed in life. Even the Bible has passages similar to it.

 

You have just proven that you're clueless about it. Poor you....

No... no need to prove it because you're exhibit A for what a real-life elitist view is.

 

"Rich people are typically more disciplined, takes on more responsibilities, makes better financial decisions, takes risks" is debatable. A farmer who tends his farm is more disciplined than you, has more responsibilities than you, makes daily financial decisions ("how do I survive until the next day"). Laborers, put their lives at risk more than you, who sits in a comfy office chair... doing what exactly? ...managing people? signing papers? thinking how to make more money by taking advantage of the work force that you secretly hope doesn't get rich enough that they won't work for you anymore? And those farmers and laborers are paid how much?

 

The products that you directly (and I mean directly from you, not from your underlings) output are not as essential to human survival as their output, yet you earn more than them.

Hahaha! Debatable my ass!

 

You really are clueless how businesses are run.

 

You don't even know what responsibility mean. Obviously you are an underling, thinking like that.

 

Most people who manage businesses put in more hours, typically 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 days, or at times, 7 days a week. They have to go after the purchase orders of customers, negotiate the best price for their raw materials, monitor receivables and collections to sustain operational expenses, see to it that there is enough money for salaries next payday, make sure that employee benefits and government contributions like SSS, BIR, Philhealth, Pagibig, are remitted on schedule, review the performance of his employees, reward those who are performing well, motivate those who are not, list goes on and on... They can't do that without self-discipline, managerial skills, knowledge of the business, and willingness to take the role of a leader.

 

They deserve the best pay package the company can give.

 

You, the underling, works from 9 am to 5 pm, 5 days a week. You only think of work during your 8 hours in the office and forget about it after you punch out at 5 pm. You may deserve your PhP 20,000 monthly salary, but nothing more. If you want more, you have to be willing to give more of yourself.

 

Claiming that a farmer is more disciplined than me, is hilariously illogical and even idiotic.

 

If I were a farmer, I would have the discipline, perseverance and other traits of successful and rich farmers. Farmers who are disciplined, industrious, knowledgeable in his chosen farming activity, knows how to sell his produce, are generally richer than other farmers who behave the opposite. Same principle applies to everybody.

What a liar. You don't do all those things yourself. Kaya nga may corporate heirachy, para hindi yun top boss ang gagawa ng pag-check ng recievables, file SSS, taxes, etc, promote people.

 

You hire other HOD to do that for you. You delegate them. Either that or you're a very bad manager.

 

I still stand by that people under you are more hard working than you... and generally more skilled, also. I betcha if something breaks down in your office, you wouldn't even know where to begin to fix it (and I'm not just talking about office appliances, but business processes). You just sign cheques.

 

About your claim about doing things differently if you were a farmer, I'm calling it as BS. And just goes to show how much out of touch you are with reality.

I concur with Camiar...

 

But camiar don't strain yourself to this tk421 who only have a general weak idea about what you are trying to explain. He/she thinks or has an illusion of filthy rich crooks as an example, he/she has no clue on self made accomplished people of what work they put in to becoming successful and confortable in life. Mahilig kasi sa semantics and generalizations ang user na yan.

 

Even in school most of the graduates in almost all schools trains and teaches "where you would work" after college.

 

A rice farmer has almost half a year of sunny and half rainy days of him farming. Do the math and use thy f*cking brain.

Of course an elitist will always side with a fellow elitist. Dumping a piece of paper on a pile of trash is still... well... a trash.

 

Because when you're used to working and living in your air-conditioned home, you don't care or think about what the other 80-90% or doing.

 

Basta hindi sila ang apektado, mamatay na ang lahat... LOL.

Wrong again, if you think 25 years assigned in critical areas in mindanao, 2 square meals of sardines a day, a bucket full of mosquitos at night, and casual bullets sometimes...is an elitist...then be my guest.

You can call me a liar all you want, but that only proves how far below you are in the pecking order.

 

Don't you realize that 95% of companies in the Philippines are small and medium scale businesses that have CEOs and COO's who work long hours and carry the burden and responsibilities just as I described?

 

My company belongs to that 95%. We are small, about 150 employees, but our services help keep the electric power plants and water utilities operating 24/7 so seamlessly that you don't even think they're there.

 

I come to the office at 7am and typically stay until 9 pm. I do operations management during regular day hours and do most of the executive/administrative functions in the evening after most of the employees had gone home.

 

And contrary to your claim, If something breaks down in the Power Plants that we provide services, I may be the one who will be called, or will have to go to site, even at 3 am, to take lead in the fixing the problem. But of course, now I have senior engineers whom I can assign to site-- but I keep my skills sharp just in case.

 

We are paid relatively well (me and my employees), but it is worth every fraction of a centavo that you pay for in you utility bills.

 

You are grossly ignorant of the fact that the "elitist" people (in your myopic definition), whom you hate so much because they earn more than you, are the very ones who keep your life comfortable.

 

Of course an underling like you would not have that kind of perspective to realize the truth in what I've been trying to explain.

 

What's important to me is that other readers in this forum understand what I said.

 

 

 

By the way:

 

I do have a farm. It's planted with coconut, coffee, and fruit trees. I farm it as a hobby -- for my relaxation. So, I can say I'm a rich farmer as well.

How about you?

What have you accomplished in your miserable life?
