Your salary is a bribe to make you forget your dreams – Awosanya

Nigerian realtor and human rights activist, Segun Awosanya, took to his Twitter page to opine that salaries are bribes companies pay their employees so that they can forget their dreams.

In his tweets, @segalink argued that salary earners are wasting their time and resources working for others, when they should be creative and find other things to do for themselves.

What you call salary is that bribe they pay you to forget about your dreams. ⛱

His reasons 

Segun Awosanya said there is nothing that can ever make earning a salary worth it. According to him, that not even the fact that salaries take care of people’s basic needs and facilitate their dreams can be good enough reasons.

His argument is that after the average employee spends their monthly salary, they are practically left with little or nothing.

Unless your dreams come so cheap, if the surplus after taking out your living expenses can fund your dreams you won’t retain a job or depend on it longer than 5years. My brothers from SE don’t do apprenticeship for more than this period before opening their own shop.

You shouldn’t stay at your job forever 

While Awosanya admitted that at a point one needs a job in other to drive their goals, he argued that nobody should stay forever on their job or think there is nothing achievable outside of their job.

He added that having a job prepares one for positions that may come up, helping them to think big for a bigger life work. And it’s not just about self-fulfilment; it’s also about having the opportunity to impact other people’s lives.

Indeed we all need a job at some point in life. It prepares you or position you to think deep about finding life work. Until you find a life work which benefits not just you in terms of fulfillment but also your society in terms of impact and influence, happiness is far fetched.

Merely earning a salary should never be your dream

For Segun, one should never say that earning a salary is their dream. Doing that is more or less tantamount to accepting to be enslaved.

Some even reduced their reinforced social constructs to tweets by saying earning salary is their dream just like the Israelites thought working as slaves in Egypt is their God given purpose. Please stop lying to yourself. No one is born a slave.

There is something greater than entrepreneurship

Tweeting further, he added that the notion that everyone mustn’t be an entrepreneur is a lie, as there is nothing greater than entrepreneurship. He advised that people should dig deeper into their purpose in life.

Oh “everyone is not born to be an entrepreneur” please what makes you feel all life purpose is about entrepreneurship? Dig deeper and swim away from the shallow children section of the pool of wisdom.

— SEGA L’éveilleur®? (@segalink) April 9, 2019

Making his last points, Segun noted that the excuse people give about breaking the norms is because it comes with comfort. He said if people will be able to be brave enough to leave their comfort zone, they can be able to achieve other things for themselves.

The unknown will always be feared but nothing grows in the comfort zone. To grow you must take risk and do what makes your heart flutters. Do that which you fear the most. That is where your destiny lies. Or you can keep lying to yourself like most in the thread.
