Assignment 2
It has been suggested by some people that employees should be remunerated on the extent of their input and output. In my opinion, I totally agree that people should be paid on how much they produce and sell because that will increase their level of diligence and productivity.
To start with, most of the 21st century youths wants free money and wants to be rich without working for it. But, if there is a realisation that the money will be earned based on the amount of goods and services being produced, people will be more diligent and work hard. In addition, there will also be an increase in the productivity of the employer. This is because more production will bring more sales and more sales will bring more profit to the company.
Furthermore, there will be a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction on the part of the workers because they are working for their pay. Moreso, it will teach the workers to be prudent in their spending because the money was earned under their sweat. In fact, more people will be encouraged to save for the rainy days. For example, there was a research done by the youth empowerment scheme which relates to being paid as you work and about 75% of the workers were in support of getting paid based on the work done.
In conclusion, the best way to motivate people and encourage diligence is to pay them based on how much they produce and sell.

It is important for people to take risks, both in their professional lives and their personal lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risks outeigh the disadvantages?It is often argued that taking risks in both professional and personal lives is essential. While there are potential disadvantages to risk-taking, I believe the benefits far outweigh them. Risks can not only prepare individuals for an unpredictable future but also foster a fearless mindset, both of which are crucial for personal and professional growth.
To begin with, taking risks opens up opportunities that can lead to a more prosperous future. The uncertainties of later stages in life mean that no one can predict what will happen. By embracing risks, people increase their chances of achieving success, even if the outcome is not guaranteed. For instance, if an individual decides to invest a portion of their earnings, despite the inherent risk of losing money, the potential return could be significant and life-changing. Without taking this risk, the money might otherwise be spent on non-essential activities, such as dining out or entertainment, which offer no long-term financial benefits. Similarly, in personal life, starting a new relationship involves the risk of emotional vulnerability. While there are no guarantees that a relationship will last or bring happiness, taking that leap often leads to growth and meaningful connections.
Furthermore, a fearless mindset, essential for both personal and professional success, is developed through risk-taking. People who consistently take risks are often more resilient and better equipped to handle challenges. Many successful leaders, for example, built their careers by confronting obstacles head-on rather than avoiding them. These individuals learned early on that facing uncertainties strengthens their problem-solving abilities and enables them to achieve their goals. The well-known saying "no risk, no gain" holds true, as those willing to take calculated risks often reap the rewards, developing a mindset that is critical for long-term success.
Admittedly, taking risks does carry the potential for failure or loss. There is always a chance that an investment may not yield returns or that a relationship may not work out. However, these potential drawbacks are outweighed by the personal growth and opportunities that come from stepping out of one's comfort zone. Without risk, people would remain stagnant, unable to adapt to the unpredictable nature of life. It is through risk-taking that individuals learn valuable lessons, regardless of the immediate outcome.
