Are IT employees happy to work from home?

No, 

I am not at all happy with WFH. I work for one of the top service-based companies in India where everyone says it’s equal to a government job and no one questions even if you don’t work.

But in my case, I received my system 40 days after lock down starting from the day I received system till today(13-06-2020) I totally forgot the difference between weekday and weekend, day time and night time we ( all the team members) started working all the 7 days. Parents already started comparing me with daily labor.

And I feel my self as quarantined but not because I’m a corona suspect or I have been traveled recently. But, just because of my work.

In all this mess suddenly my internet stopped working today but I can’t stop working because of heavy workload and this is how my setup is now to continue working with mobile hots pot.

I have connected mobile hot spot to my personal laptop then from laptop connected to desktop( we were provided with desktop-only so, no mobile hotspot option)

Let me explain each item on my table( which has its own story each). The jar on my laptop is not my snacks but just to apply weight on Space bar so that the open Notepad goes on ............... So that my laptop won’t go to sleep mode( To prevent disconnect internet connectivity).

The orange and white packet on my monitor base is my mobile charger converter pin( USB to iPhone ) recently my phone charger got damaged and we need to authenticate in mobile to log on the system so it’s a backup for my charger.

A4 paper and pen to make note of key points from the meetings which I stole from my sister.

The pad on my Router is my notice board where I make note of my important stuff.

1 extra LAN cable as a backup

Anti-glare specs which I ordered Online in this lockdown as no proper lighting in my seating position.

I don’t think I need to mention how comfortable our work station will be in Office.

What is the weirdest way someone became rich?

I’m pretty sure everyone in America has already heard of her:

Kim Kardashian.

A lot of people don’t like her, personally I don’t either, but nobody can deny that she is rolling in dough. She has an estimated net worth of $300 million dollars and raked in $72 million last year. She’s managed to find new ways to get attention for so many years, it’s easy to forget how she even became famous in the first place. Well, it definitely wasn’t because of any special skills, neither her nor her whole family can act, sing, dance, or do any of the things people typically become famous for.

So, how did one random girl with no discernible talent become famous?

A sex tape.

Kim was a stylist of Paris Hilton in the 2000s, which is what she claims made her famous, but the truth is that the “leaked” sex tape is what launched her into national conversation. Her, rear end also helped in attracting some attention.

Somehow, her mother was able to turn the fame from that sex-tape into a reality show about the whole family. And they turned that reality show into a source of fame and attention. And they turned that fame and attention into more fame and attention. And two of the sisters, Kim and Kylie, also used their fame to be the face of their makeup companies, which made them an extra couple $100 million. Now, the whole family is viewed as a prime example of a spoiled type of rich, the modern aristocrat.

I definitely wouldn’t say they’re people to be admired, but it sure is weird how the whole family became rich in the first place. It’s all thanks to Kim.

How realistic is getting rich in investing?

This answer will shock you.

It isn’t just realistic. 100% of people have gotten rich from investing if they:

  • Started investing early enough. That doesn’t need to mean starting at 16, after your first pay cheque, but that helps. People who start at 25, 30 or 35 can still achieve it, but it is better to start asap. You are never younger than you are today.
  • Invest in good quality investment funds.
  • Have reasonable spending habits.
  • Never time the markets. Always be long-term.
  • Be 90% in stocks and 10% in bonds when young, or even 100% in stocks. Increase bonds to 25%+ with age
  • Avoiding all kinds of vices in excess. Drugs. Excessive alcohol. Gambling. Gold diggers if you are already high income.
  • Have a middle-income or better. Together with good spending habits and compounded returns, you will get wealthy
The key thing is taking action and not procrastinating.
