Well, the phrase does hold weight. In this era of economic slowdown, deteriorating demand, supply glut, falling enthu---- it has become very important to tread and move carefully. Everyone wants to live;earn by hook or crook; grow; manage; survive.......... But, how can he fit into an environment where he needs to follow principles which don't allow him to take such steps which might be detrimental for his future. He doesn't want to sacrifice his present for his future for he believes if he survives he can take care of future too. In last few centuries, the word " survival" has gained prominence equal to money. If you have money, you can live, buy, enjoy, eat, drink. If you don't, then who is going to feed the empty stomuchs of yours, family, society or nation. Till how long a person can survive on alms, donations or merely a piece of bread? He has to kill himself for the job or work whether he likes or not to feed the thristy mouths. Getting a job is another headache and that too with desired profile. Oh gosh!!!!!!!!!!
A well qualified degree holder is quite sure he will get what he wants as soon as he grads from the university. He never imagines any hiccups as he is fully confident that his degree from an extra-ordinary, excellent institution will definitely bear sweet fruits. He feels he will make his and every other dependent' s life a bed of roses. He toils and struggles with his studies. The results are positive too. He gets employed in a plush, multi-national company which is ready to drain out good amount of money to get his services,in fact his brains.
The scene might have an anti-climax. The rosy picture might become thorny. Now what???????? He will survive but he will have to lower his expectations. You can't own the sky and Mother Earth too is not your personal property even though you can earn a bounty to hypothetically buy a plot to survive. Here, comes the catch. You need to survive so you will have to settle for a less significant job. You feel you can satisfy yourself and your family. As days pass, you feel there needs to be done to make your survival more historic and legendary. Here, you decide, since you have the brains , you just need money, time and energy. There is another catch now...... time. How to do time-management? People do feel that 24 hrs are not enough to complete a job. Why can't we double the clock just as we can demand double the pay or facilities. Well, that is possible too. Forget your family, enjoyment, food, sleep----- material or non-material things of life only to attain new heights with new time and energy.
Money is not a problem as long as you don't own it. The real problem starts when you try to own it. Once you have money, you feel I can live a healthy, sound and enthusiatic life. Trillions of dollars fill your pocket and you fill the pockets of others-- family, society, company, nation, world. Once the money starts flowing in the river as a lifeline, comes another jolt. Now, how can you store money for future. Do you think banks, hundis, safes are enough???? Well, this enthusiam of storing money has given rise to another form of artificial survival. You are surviving to take care of money so it doesn't become stagnant or dead. Death of money means harakiri.
