Can you do anything for money?

You feel a different kind of joy when you know you have money. It might be that someone dashed you or you have been waiting long to receive that money, the moment this money drops, you become very excited. You will want to take yourself out for shopping and buy all the things you need or those things you have been eyeing for long.

This excitement will make you want to give to people from it. All those people you have in mind to help—your family, friends, younger ones and the needy around you, this makes it the perfect to help them.

I am sure we would have at one time or the other experienced this bubbling joy. It is not because you have not touched money before but this just feels different.

So, can you do anything for money? 🤔

By anything, I don't mean illegal things like fraud or prostitution, in case your mind went far 😁

Just like the saying goes we use money to find money. So to have money, you have to spend money.

We want money cheaply sometimes. I was watching a video yesterday where a guy approached a lady on the first floor of a building. He challenged her to do something very risky. The lady was to throw her phone up and make sure she catches it with only one hand without it falling to the ground. If she was able to do this successfully, she would be given N80,000 which is about $180. It is not easy right?

On her hesitation, the guy increased the money from N80000 to N10000. The money is quite much and with it she can purchase a brand new phone with that amount and still go home with change.

There is a but there though. If the lady is unable to catch her phone, that is, if the phone falls to the ground she goes home with nothing–no phone, no money.

Anyways, the lady agreed to do it. I think you already know what happened. She was unable to catch her phone, it fell down and her screen got broken. Sad right?

But the guy was generous enough to give her some amount of money to repair it. If not, I'm sure she should have cried her eyes out.

We all need money. And the money offered to the lady by the guy was quite tempting. If I was in her should I would have most likely done the same.

But to look at it from another angle, I think she should have asked herself if she was good in catching things. Have you been throwing or catching things (like ball) before?

From the video, it looked like the whole screen of the phone was damaged. At the end, the money the lady was compensated with might not be enough to repair her phone.

But, if she had been successful in catching the ball, it would have been an happy day for her;a big jackpot. Imagine having $182 in a day for just performing a short task.

It is just like betting. It is a two-way thing meaning you either lose or win. You put money there because you want to get more money but you can lose.

So, while trying to hustle and survive, we should look well to what we put our money into so we won't have to suffer loss in the end.
