Awareness

A smart Alec once said you cannot earn anything from "Invisible hands" you will always need evidence or receipt for everything that you have to purchase. Uhm that's true. How our forefathers long time ago able to deal with barter is somewhat amazing. Barter is still being practice in other parts of the world when currency is hard to come by. Monetary unit is never heard of due to the island's remote location. Village people from Africa, Mediterranean, South pacific where people practice the so called barter is more than pleasing rather a taboo. Too bad for those whose occupation are into the white collar job category such as those who are practising medicine in rural area, pharmacists, dentists, the lawyers, bankers, computer programmers and technicians. Great for the farmers, land owners, and the blue collar job laborers who can just trade in their products and services at least for them the system is just fair and favor their family.

Heard of a lawyer or a doctor who all of a sudden become millionaires? This is due to the fact that when patients cannot pay their doctors and lawyers they have no other choice but to pay them with the land that they owned or acres of land that they used for their crops. A movie, old movie of Michael J. Fox in his portrayal as an urban doctor who end up being in the rural area and the villagers can only pay his good service by the kind of crop they harvest from their land, and or live stocks from their farm animals. The problem is how a doctor can  gain from such kind of barter? Unless of course he decides to build a store dedicated for such products to be distributed and sold to other consumers. Is this the kind of problem going on with the world that the transaction business in commerce and trade is too slow? Import and export is really, really slow in some area. Uhm dunno why.

Sometimes is about credibility. HONESTY is the best policy you know? It is a policy you should carry your whole life. You should not hide from any obligation. Who cares if you have too much credit? Who cares if you are bankrupt? ALL OF US are indebted one way or another. The only thing is please don't hide from your creditors and be truthful with your dealings. Be a smart user of the rules of the BBB= Better Business Bureau.
