10 Reasons Why You Have To Quit Your Job This Year
10 Reasons Why You Have To Quit Your Job This Year
By James Altucher
1) "The middle class is dead. A few weeks ago I visited a friend of
mine who manages a trillion dollars for one family. No joke. A trillion.
“Look out the window. All the cubicles are empty. The middle class
is being hollowed out. [...] It’s all outsourced or technology has taken
over for the paper shufflers,” he said."
2) "You’ve been replaced. Technology, outsourcing, a growing temp
staffing industry, productivity efficiencies, have all replaced the middle
class. Most jobs that existed 20 years ago aren’t needed now."
3) "Corporations don’t like you." [...]
4) "Money is not happiness. Studies show that an increase in salary
only offers marginal to zero increase in “happiness” above a certain
level, because the basic fact: people spend what they make."
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work your own hours and make a lot of money? That opportunity is right in front of you, right NOW! Don’t wait another day. Take a second to rethink your future Click Here !
5) "Your employer can ruin your life. Count right now how many
people can make a major decision that can ruin your life. I don’t
like it when one person can make or break me. A boss. A publisher.
A TV producer. A buyer of my company. At any one point I’ve had
to kiss ass to all of the above. I hate it. I will never do it again."
6) "Is your job satisfying your needs? Are your physical needs,
your emotional needs, your mental needs, and your spiritual needs
being satisfied?"
7) "Your Retirement Plan is For Shit. I don’t care how much you
set aside for your 401k. It’s over. The whole myth of savings is gone.
Inflation will carve out the bulk of your 401k. And in order to cash in
on that retirement plan you have to live for a really long time doing
stuff you don’t like to do. And then suddenly you’re 80 and you’re
living a reduced lifestyle in a cave and can barely keep warm at night."
8) "If you want freedom you must let go of your excuses. “I’m
too old”. “I’m not creative.” “I need the insurance.” “I have to raise my
kids” [...] If someone insists they need to be in prison even though
the door is unlocked then I am not going to argue. They are free to
stay in prison."
9) "It's ok to take baby steps. “I can’t just QUIT!” people say.
“I have bills to pay”. I get it. Nobody is saying quit today. Before a
human being runs a marathon they learn to crawl, then take baby
steps, then walk, then run.
Make the list right now. Every dream. I want to be a bestselling
author. I want to reduce my material needs. I want to have freedom
from many of the worries that I have succumbed to all my life.
I want to be healthy. I want to help all of the people around me
or the people who come into my life. I want everything I do to be
a source of help to people. I want to only be around people I love,
people who love me. I want to have time for myself."
10) "Abundance will never come from your job. Only stepping
out of the prison imposed on you from your factory will allow you to
achieve abundance.
You can’t see it now. It’s hard to see the gardens when you are locked
in jail. Abundance only comes when you are moving along your themes.
When you are truly enhancing the lives of the people around you."

8 Ways Your Job May be Killing You
.jpg)
"From increased risks of heart disease to longer life spans, the numerous
drawbacks or benefits to health that come with working have been revealed
by various studies across the globe.
Here are eight ways your job affects your health:
1. Early retirement
A study by Austrian researchers revealed that men who retire early
have an increased risk of dying before age 67.
2. Sticking with a job you hate
Plugging along in a hated job can damage more than an employee's
mental health.
Research published in the Human Relations journal found that employees
who stayed at organizations out of either obligation or a perceived lack of
other job options were more likely than other employees to experience
physical health problems, including exhaustion, stress and burnout.
"It may be that commitment based on obligation is experienced as a kind of
indebtedness that is emotionally draining over time."
A European study found working overtime can be bad for an employee's
heart. Those who worked at least 10 hours a day had a 60 percent
higher risk of heart-related problems, such as death due to heart
disease or a nonfatal heart attack, than those who didn't work overtime.
4. Commuting
A study published in the BMC Public Health journal reveals that workers
who get to work by train, car or bus have more adverse health effects
than workers who ride their bikes or walk.
5. Long-term unemployment
On the other hand, just having a job can be good for a person's
emotional well-being.
Research presented during a congressional briefing on the psychological
benefits of employment and the impact of joblessness revealed long-term
unemployment can trigger mental health issues.
6. The afternoon nap
A study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine found
that half-hour siestas boost heart health and help prevent deadly
cardiovascular disease.
According to the research, working men showed the greatest benefits
from a little daily shuteye, no matter the number of naps or their duration,
with a 64 percent lower risk of death from heart disease.
The authors suggest naps could boost heart health via stress reduction.
7. Friends at work
While it has been generally established that people with active social lives
live longer, that also applies to employees in the workplace.
According to research published in the Health Psychology journal, employees
who believe they have the personal support of their peers at work are more
likely to live a longer life.
Workers who reported having low social support at work were more than
two times more likely to die sometime within those 20 years.
8. Sucking up to the boss
A study published in the Journal of Management Studies suggests that
politically savvy professionals who use kissing up to an employer as a
way to enhance their standing in the office may avoid the psychological
stress felt by those who aren't as shrewd about their workplace behavior."
