"Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value"
- Albert Einstein

In today's modern age, the concept of value, has, well, lost its value amongst Neo-Proletariats. People no longer have the drive to become valuable members of society. It seems that people just want the government, corporations, and other agencies to take care of them, instead of actually offering value to these companies and entities. It is no wonder the world is now manifesting job cuts and shortages. The mass being distracted, forget to sit back and learn the lessons from the daily occurrences.

With the recent job cuts in various industries the populace is now realizing that some of the positions that were held in the past, are no longer relevant or necessary, and in fact, weren't really important in the first place. Employees are now being called into meetings, and they are asked what they do for the company. Some draw blanks, or proceed to name a list of what they thought was valuable, all skills that can be learned by anybody off the street. The machines that are currently made to do these tasks are frightening the under cover erudites of today. The outsourcing of basic tasks frightens many collar workers. Yet, we still are not getting the message, the message of value. Americans believe they are entitled to make vast amounts of money for tasks that can be done more efficiently and at a cheaper rate, by someone in another country. Americans believe that just because they are American, they are guaranteed a middle class lifestyle. You cannot be given these things without being valuable. If you are, they can be quickly taken away (as you now see happening in the United States), pure privileges.

On a side not; historically, the middle class has always been a privilege granted by governments. Middle classes are very unusual actually. Most societies only have rich and poor people. Even the early United States did not have a middle class at first, it was literally created by sociologists in order to cool the class feuds that Marx and some economist spoke about. Europe was known for its serfdoms, which in actuality are still in existence in the United States legally.

Don't believe, look at the Supreme Court ruling:

"The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State: individual so-called 'ownership" is only by virtue of Government, i.e. law amounting to mere user; and use must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State. Senate Document No. 43 73rd Congress 1st Session. (Brown v. Welch)"

and

"The right of traffic or the transmission of property, as an absolute
inalienable right, is one which has never existed since governments were
instituted, and never can exist under government." Wynehamer v. The People. 13 N.Y. Rep.378, 481"

These rulings show that legally Americans will never own land, they are only renters, serfs who have never had the ability to obtain allodial titles which signify true ownership of land. Don't fret though! People can only empower themselves, governments can only be what the populace projects!

Remember that all the people that now rule the world, were once poor. People like the Rothschilds, Fords, Rockefellers, etc all were originally very broke. But, they saw opportunities, they made themselves valuable, and ultimately took over most of the money that circulates (and even the system that puts it into circulation). Also remember that 80% of millionaires are first generation! There may exist some rules, but in reality, there is a playing field that can be controlled by the individual. You decide your value and the amount of money you make. Most children of rich people complain how their children are not like them, and are not responsible enough to take over their legacies, so they hire someone else to do it. This just goes to show that valuable people will always fill a spot!

You see, the new coming age is all about the value of an individual. Since people have stopped reading and now spend most of their time doing brain draining activities like watching television or shopping (frequently) they have lost a vast amount of value.

The Americans who existed in the beginnings of this country were much more skilled. Even those in the ghettos (low income housing) had marketable skills which included a type of trade. Some of the jobs these lower class folks had back in those times are in demand now. Plumbers and carpenters are now found making as much or sometimes more then individuals who chose the route of the institution of higher learning (college). Its confusing when looking at it from a close up view, but it makes a lot of sense when looking from the bird's eye view! Simply, plumbers and carpenters are necessary! They provide something to society. There job is invaluable in the continuation of civilization. Civilization needs plumbing and as long as their are housing and other buildings, carpentry will be necessary. Then you come to these various "business professionals" that work in Fortune 500 companies, that really don't provide anything to the company other than an opinion, an opinion that is vastly losing its value, as evidenced by studying who these companies are laying off.

These companies are not laying off accountants, those skilled in law, people who provide high quality consultations, etc! These people are one hundred percent necessary to run a business and keep it going forward steadily. There may be some instances where someone who provided "something" was layed off, but if that person truly valued themselves, they wouldn't worry about finding another job. This individual would realize there are hundreds of companies out there who wish to have someone who is valuable. A valuable person is always useful, ALWAYS!

In the early 1900's, when African Americans experienced heavy prejudice, a man named Booker T. Washington came forward and expressed something very interesting. He stated:

"The whole future of the negro rests largely upon whether or not he should make himself, through skill, intelligence, and character, of such undeniable value to the community in which he lived that the community could not dispute his presence."

What was Booker T. Washington saying here? He was expressing the fact that anyone who raises themselves up through study and cultivates intelligence, skill, and character, will be of value to their community. Thus, they will always have a use. They will have the ability to even bypass a strong form of demographic prejudice, based on the fact that they were needed. You can only mistreat someone to an extent when their service is needed!

This is in fact how many African Americans of that age were able to accumulate large amounts of Federal Reserve Notes. It was through self study and a touch of perseverance. This same lesson could be used for Americans in this day and age who are dealing with layoffs and job cuts. This just means that the days where you can sit around at the job and do nothing, or do something mindless, is over.

I hear the complaints of managers who talk about employees who don't do anything all the time! Most are on FaceBook during the work day or goofing off, not really doing anything. Now I don't believe in back breaking work, but I do believe that work should add value. How are you adding value when all you do is go on Facebook while at work? One cannot be made at someone for taking advantage of a job where they don't have much to do by logging onto Facebook, Youtube, etc. But when the layoffs come, and companies decide to cut down on your job, you have to realize they could have laid you off long ago. You simply were not a factor! Not a true factor! These people don't lay off those who are off high value to the company- point blank!

Consciousness must rise! The worth of humanity must rise! Individuals must become more reliable.

Metaphysically, the message from events like high unemployment and layoffs translates to value. Humanity must learn to become valuable again. We must provide jobs, and take part in jobs that are of value to the planet. Humanity must also lose its ignorance, and become educated again, self-educated that is! Most are surprised when they read early United States documents like the Articles of Confederation, or even the Federalist papers, they notice that these people were well taught. These people were well studied and knew their stuff! They spoke eloquently and wrote methodically, and one cannot help but realize that these folks were on top of their game. According to literacy tests, people were 75%-100% literate in those times! They were definitely more literate than the new-age Americans, who suffer from aliteracy and get all their information from media outlets (that are largely controlled and sanctioned).  Did you know that before the institution of public schools worldwide, people actually could read better? Yep! The literacy rate was higher.

People like George Washington were taught by their father or had a private teacher. Many others were simply self taught or studied under people. This was very successful as evidenced by the quality of people in the different colonies.

Ending, please take the time to add value to yourself. Sit down and think to yourself how can I become valuable? Take the time to study various sciences and principles. Read accounting books, read law books, learn about business, learn to speak better, learn more vocabulary words, learn astronomy, learn the cycles in nature, learn everything! Use that time you save for boredom to learn! I promise you, those who are highly skilled will never be out of a job, or if they are, they will have no trouble getting back to where they want to be! It is only inevitable! If people like Booker T. Washington can go against the odds by becoming a better person, than ANYONE can.

This does not mean to go out and just study everything. Learn your niche, learn what you are good at, and focus on becoming better at that, cultivate your skill! Don't pick up something random that you hate. Don't pick up accounting when your spirit is totally against it. Do the things you know that you are good at. Do the things you enjoy, but become a MASTER at it, there is no room for being mediocre at what you are meant to do, no excuse! If you are good at making shoes, you better make some of the best and most comfortable shoes! If you are good at quoting basketball stats to your friends and you love it, then you better becoming the best scout or analyst, or something dealing with the stats of the sport. You better be a master at it though! No room for lackluster efforts or laziness.

Thanks for reading

Value is not well defined. I mean why is one job only $10 per hour and another $30 per hour?

Value is defined by society and its needs. It seems pretty clear to me just analyzing the class structures.

"I mean why is one job only $10 per hour and another $30 per hour?"

That's like asking why is there a person working at McDonald's and one working as a chemical engineer.

That's sorta my point. Value is not being defined by you, its being defined by others. The slavemasters are determining the value of what you do.

The society determines what is valuable. Society has certain needs like teachers, food, healers, money changers, etc.

But in the end you do decide what is valuable as you are apart of society.

The slave masters don't really have a say in this unless you subject yourself to that paradigm. A person who is a teacher at a school district can decide to open up their own school. A person working at McDonald's can learn the ins and outs of that business and open up their own restaurant or food chain. The point is that ultimately society values you more as you increase your own value, it only reflects how much you value yourself. Come on Brandon you know this, LOL.
