Leading Without Money
Posted by Angel   ·   Friday, February 20, 2009
I thought recently that maybe I am a leader because I surely do not follow other people's ways and furthermore people respect what I am doing and they want to learn from what I am doing.  I started asking some random questions to people and family over the last week, one question was what percentage of vehicles on the road today are paid for and owned by the driver; the answer or guess was 25% or less.
Another question was, have you ever traded a skill or service for something other than money; and the answer surprisingly was: NO.  Personally I think it is odd and interesting how most people fall back 200% on money, relying on it for everything in their lives, from popularity to food to control to romance.  I have always had trouble giving people money myself, maybe its because I like it or maybe its because I like giving in other ways or maybe I am more creative than most.  I think we have to start teaching young people to share more and trade more so when they grow up they can have other options to fall back on and so they are not extremely dependent on money.  The far fetched idea of having large and small companies allow people to trade should also be a reality.
