Á. F. - Advice to poor, but talented people in 7 points   
      
   1. Working as an employee and salary earned by only meeting working time   
   requirements is usually not as enjoyable as work where we can get from the   
   fruits of success in proportion of the invested energy, so the task means a   
   challenge. At employees of    
   fixed working time there is usually no constant motivation for better   
   performance, as the success of the company does not always mean the personal   
   success of the employee, and this means more of an obligation than an   
   opportunity. In this form, a person    
   cannot really use his/her brain, and even if he/she uses it, he/she usually   
   does not make decisions, so his/her human dignity can be rarely perfect. The   
   employer usually makes the conditions of working contract himself/herself, and   
   in many cases, as    
   people need money, the employer applies people with conditions too bad for   
   them, for which only the law could make a limit, but even lawmakers could not   
   think about everything. However, it might happen that some employers go even   
   further, and they use    
   the bad conditions of working contract, like confidentiality (compulsory   
   keeping of secrets) for their own purposes of breaking the law easier, so they   
   can have more money to finance their entertainment. Thus a need appears to   
   provide better and more    
   enjoyable working conditions for the poor. What can be the solution for this?   
   Árpád Fekete's program (or Fekete Árpád's, denoted as Á. F. in the title):   
      
   2. Working time as an employee is worth reducing to 30 hours per week or below   
   (as, for example, it was done in Sweden), and only the minimal goals, survival   
   and secure, calculable income should be earned by this, and the other parts of   
   income need not    
   come from this. For more certain conditions of living and to avoid the stress   
   coming from uncertainty about it, it is good if there are fixed basic wages,   
   which in our case can mean the salary coming from 30 hours of work per week.   
   At the same time, the    
   time for relaxation and/or family life should be increased, so that every   
   people can be well-educated, healthy, relaxed and comparatively happy, etc.   
   E.g. in the 19th century women often did mainly housework only.   
      
   3. However, we cannot always relax either, so if the fixed working time will   
   be only 30 hours per week, then some time shall remain for something else. In   
   this time we can do work born from our own decisions, and if work is born from   
   our own decisions,    
   then it can be interpreted as a challenge and it can give joy, as success   
   usually causes joy to people. It is sad that our opportunities for work to be   
   born from our own decisions are usually limited. For such a small weekly   
   working time it is usually    
   not economical to make an entrepreneurship (in 2015 Hungary), but if someone   
   will not turn to be an entrepreneur, then generally it is not really possible   
   to sell products or services legally (in 2015 Hungary), so in many cases we   
   have to choose    
   alternative ways of earning money.   
      
   4. Alternative forms of making money are not coming from employment   
   relationship, but not even from entrepreneurship. This way someone can turn to   
   be an artist (e.g. writer, poet, painter, sculptor, composer, maybe singer,   
   musician, dancer, actor,    
   humorist), whose income is from the royalties (or performance fees) of his/her   
   work (or recordings about him/her), or a sportman or sport woman, whose income   
   comes from state support or sponsorship, and from prizes won at competitions   
   (for which it is    
   not always necessary to have good physique and large investment, e.g. in case   
   of chess, bridge, darts). People can even be inventors sometimes, whose income   
   is coming from selling the rights to their inventions, but this latter form is   
   more connected to    
   business life, so rich people can try it with more chance. Here, someone could   
   also try to build some fame by creativity, many publications and   
   communication, which makes it easier for him/her to get a better job or   
   compete for an opportunity    
   successfully later.   
      
   5. If only short-term money is important (and not changing careers), then   
   there are other opportunities for it too, like free prize games (but beware of   
   their conditions), and competitions for individuals (e.g. literature, essay,   
   photo, video, design,    
   programming). There may be more international competitions using the English   
   language than national ones using e.g. Hungarian.   
   6. It cannot be expected that the whole population spends its free time with   
   Arts, sports, innovation, communication, competitions or prize games, and not   
   everyone is competent here. Thus it is reasonable to come up with the need to   
   make it possible for    
   the others to be able to work in such a way that is born from their own   
   decisions, which may also be worth doing economically instead of a second job.   
   In the old times the majority of families had own land properties, and they   
   sowed in it anything they    
   wanted, or in even older times, they went to hunt, for fishing, gathering   
   (fruits) and fighting anywhere they wanted, and this kind of freedom is the   
   need of human spirit (in contrast with the employee status). From this may   
   come the idea that somehow it    
   should be made legally possible for anyone to work on any kind of product or   
   service in his/her free time he/she can legally do otherwise (however small   
   the quantity of this time), and to sell this without the fixed high costs of   
   entrepreneurship (that    
   may also require full time work or loans to function). For this, one kind of   
   solution is a political bill (a suggestion for lawmaking), which is   
   non-trivial, by the way, so it's not easy to do it. It is not easy to make   
   such a law because the taxation of    
   such small works and also checking this taxation is hard. For this, social   
   innovation might mean a solution, e.g. it came to Árpád Fekete's mind that   
   in each village (at right times), town and city (always), there should be one   
   or more place, at which    
   the products or services created this way (in free time, or by any method) can   
   be sold, and at the same time as the selling, the taxation could happen   
   immediately in an easy way, but selling at other places could be interpreted   
   as tax evasion, except in    
   those cases which currently do not count as that either (e.g. selling used   
   things not bought with the goal of commerce, i. e. not too often, or the   
   employee and entrepreneur status we already know).
