*The Foolish Merchant of my time* 


Writer By: Tiamiyu E. Babátúndé

 _" if you can't efficiently allocate the scarce resources at your dispose, you are nothing but a foolish merchant"_ 


Conventionally, human beings are limited in nature; we are limited by time, knowledge, wisdom, information and unarguably resources to leverage on. Conversely, we are insatiable in nature; our desire to acquire more material wealth is always uncompromising. Therefore we should be mindful of how we exchange our scarce  resource for merchandize and to be wary of impose buying. our financial literacy is at this moment  is a requisite to survive in the corporate market.


We are in the contemporary world where the relevance of soft skills such as, analytical skill, public speaking, presentation skill, writing skill amongst others are non negotiable. Carefully merging these skills with our range of intelligence, we stand a chance to compete in the labor market especially if we are skilled in art and craft. Our financial intelligence vested on how we are able to bridge the wide gap between the skills we acquire and how we rationally harness the limited resources to their full potentials.


There is indeed a direct correlation between finance and investment/spending. On a macro look at what finance entails, it covers all areas of revenue generation and how we can stylishly invest either in the capital or money market from our disposable income. _it will be irrational to lavish our hard earned money on irrelevance_ . All the anomalies can be corrected by not sidelining the rudiments of financial literacy and it pragmatic approaches. With this, a good and futuristic merchant will emerge.


To contextualize a  'Foolish Merchant' based on my own personal perspective; it means not having substantial  financial discipline and not wanting to make necessary adjustment. I have come to realized that we tend to embrace every  circumstances we find ourselves provided we are not exposed to challenges, we stay comfortably not minding how we're  getting shaped. This is my clarion call and I would be glad if prompt actions are taken to strengthen the financial literacy of everyone and to cultivate the habit of spending wisely.

Your environment determines the kind of opportunities you will get, and to the degree in which you will get these opportunities. Your environment doesn't have to only be your physical geography. It could be the people you hang out with or the kind of experiences you immerse yourself in.  There are certain opportunities you can never get unless you're in a particular city, state or country.  There are certain opportunities you will not be able to take advantage of if you don't have a passport or a valid visa.  There are certain opportunities you will have to turn down because your business isn't yet registered and/or you don't have a corporate account.  There are jobs you will not be able to take on because you have refused to open a Domiciliary account.  There are conversations you will never be able to be a part of because you are not physically present in the r
