Pros and cons to everything

There are Pros and Cons to everything. Wouldn't it be nice if their were a lot more pros to the things we would like to do. With working or staying home it is hard to decide what would be best. If I work then it seems as if all my money would be going to daycare if I just stay home then it fills like I don't have much of an option of things to do because we can't afford it. It's kind of crazy when things are like that.

I always believe that in every action there is an equal reaction. Have you heard of the "amalayer b!tch" from the Philippines. I don't like to put the link here but look for it in the youtube to know what I am discussing. As a background, this girl's attention was called by the security guard and the girl was embarrassed and started making a scene in the train station. HER ACTION: She was supposedly correcting the lady guard however, from the scene, it appeared that she was confronting and telling harsh words to the lady guard. She could have a point to correct the guard. REACTIONS: 1. so many people were dismayed towards her attitude and words to the lady guard. 2. was not able to march to the graduation rites of her school because she was a student of Exclusive schools for girls. 3. she was mocked, criticized and ridiculed. another different story. A cleaner at the NAIA (Manila airport) found a wallet that contains 600+ thousands of money (i think in different currencies) ... http://chat.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/09/03/12/janitor-returns-p600000-found-airport ACTIONS: 1. He returned the wallet, the bag and money to the authorities. 2. The bag with the money (in tact) was returned to the owner. REACTIONS: He is a cleaner therefore, he is a minimum wage earner. 1. Commended.. and therefore he is now an area leader. 2. Help such as scholarships to his children and house repairs were given to him. 3. appreciation and set as good role models.. 4. Best employee of the month. The PROS and Cons “No one can The best you can do is to get immersed in it. It is no use your arguing about pros and cons; dive and know the depth; eat and know the taste.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba quotes (Indian Spiritual leader, b.1926)

Oh, I hate tough decisions, too! It would be so much easier if there were more pros, or at least stuff that would make the decision quicker or easier.

I do as well. It is so frustrating when we have tough decisions to deal with. Yes I would love if my life had more pros. It would make life in itself a lot easier to choose what to do. Unfortunately for now I will have to stay home unless a really good opportunity presents itself or my daughter starts school. So I will try to do my best with the resources we have to keep us busy.

Yes, there are always pros and cons to almost anything we do. Sometimes it seems like it is not always worth doing some of the things we have too. I know when it comes to my health I would love to be able to stay home and only run my business, but since I need the medical and we could not afford our house and my medications etc for now, I have to work. Maybe someday.

Yeah I agree with you. I hope that someday you will be able to stay at home. I understand that there are so many things that we have to pay for that it is necessary that we work. I think it would be nice to stay at home and run a business. Hopefully in time I will be able to do something like that.

Yes the world is like this. I hope that you are able to reach your dreams. I'm sure that it can feel fulfilling when we are able to accomplish what we would like too. We definitely don't want to live our life with regret. That would be an awful way for us to live. We do have to remember that life is short and we don't want to waste our precious time.

Hi friend, you are right, each and every thing is having its own pros and cons, online earnings and work at home is also having its own merits and demerits. We must see the pros and give our maximum to earn more from our hard work

Yes I agree with you. We have to see the pros and work hard to do our best. I know that working outside of the home would give me more earnings but then those earnings would have to go to daycare. So I have to do my best right now and look for more productive ways to earn online. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

That is the beauty of life ! That is why life is called life because of its pros and cons it is same as saying that life is like a coin , it have 2 sides . It depends in us on how are we going to play the side which we favored . We have good cards in our hands , let's use them wisely . We are always given an option , this is another beauty of life. It depends in us if we want a better or worst life , if we want a bright future or dark one. Al have its pros and cons...it is all up to us to decide..

Yeah we have to use the "cards of our life" wisely. We do have to try and make the most of our current situation. Sometimes though it's hard to figure out which direction to go in when there are so many options. Then it is necessary for us to really think about what we want and what would be the best for us.

I agree with you that almost everything there is has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. It seems that more and more people like you and me are concerned about our finances as needs arises. We are in a strait between two choices: to spend or save; to work or stay home; to be in business or work for an employer; to buy or not to buy; etc. In all of these circumstances, we need wisdom to make wise decisions. True wisdom comes from the author of wisdom - God. Let us then ask for wisdom like King Solomon did during his time. He had a lot of advantages when he did so.

Yes all of the things you mentioned are so true. It has been very difficult trying to decide what would be best for me to do. As well as trying to be happy and at peace with that decision. That can be very difficult because I would love to work outside of the home it's just that it at this point wouldn't be worth all that is necessary for me to do. I completely agree with you that true wisdom comes from God. Through the Bible God repeatedly tells us to "keep a simple eye", and to not be anxious about our necessities. We have to trust what he says.

That's life. Just do the best we can to make things better for ourselves regardless of what others might say or think about it. Better options and opportunities often come our way that way.

Yeah I agree. That is just how life goes. It is good for us to make ourselves better. After all we are the ones who will have to live our life. No one else can live it for us. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of these things.

staying at home is always a rest day; lazy time though doing some chores but then you keep your own task when, what and how to do things unlike working there's a passive monthly income and specific task given. I prefer working.. more productive

Yeah I agree with you that working and earning seems more productive. But in my case all my money would be gone to pay for being able to work basically. So I will have to stay at home unless some great opportunity comes a long or where a family member would be willing to watch my daughter for a reasonable price.

Quite a common predicament nowadays. If you feel that all your money would go to daycare, then I feel that you dont need that money. What you need is some engagement at home. Some way by which you can spend your time and also earn a bit. Think seriously about staying at home and what you can do to earn in a small way as you don't need much.

Yeah I agree with you. That is what I have come to conclude at the present. That it is best for me to stay at home and look at my options for earning online. If I set aside the little money I do earn for savings then I will feel better about my earnings. Because when I spend it it just makes me feel like I don't make very much from my online work. So I will start saving it.
