Some concepts that i like to quantify in my life.

 Old school guy that cannot do videos. so i shall just write it here...


Teenage days

Being good and learning in school didn’t mean that you will be successful

Life is a lot more than learning in school and doing well in subjects

Taking risk and pitfalls seems to be the best time for your life

Nothing to lose. No responsibility. Good to venture into different adventure.


Joke of life -28 to 42 years old. 

Working for others - having a huge hope of climbing the corporate ladder

Thinking that company will always provide opportunities for you as you learn while others that probably venture out already make their mark as they have nothing to lose

Learning/ one step position is the façade to delay progression and to further analyse your path in the corporate world.

Your ability is nothing merely to the eyes of the superior as corporate world is just a thin ice, walking on It and you never know when it will crack and fell into the waters. 


Days of being unemployed

1. It is not how much you are earning, but how much task and work you have to keep you feel useful

2. The Singapore society has a myopia that everyone has to work and not being unemployed

3. Living at a age past 40, having a job seems more important than not having one. 

a. After 45, the best before has expired and its really difficult to get a job

4. Inertia of learning is so strong, so hard to do something different

5. Starting out and going on a different path of business owner seems so hard compared to just being a function of the company.

a. Worried of losing out

b. Worried of unable to perform

c. Getting the right support and materials to sell 


Parenting

We are not Kiasu, we just want to protect the last safety net of ensuring basic education and success for our kids. That’s the only thing parents know. Future road is paved by you, no parents can envision what future is like, what we can do is only to equip as much as we can to ensure you are more ready to what life going to be in future. 


Adaptability

Poor people turning rich will still feel happier having his/her favourite simple food. While rich turn poor will be stressed over simple food. No matter what we become, we can never release our old self and where we really feel comfortable.


Live positively

昨天去世的人或许还在规划着明天,早上去世的人可能还在计划着晚上。也许一瞬间一切都会消失,忙碌中我们来不及享受,我们漠视了爱与被爱,赖人活着到底为了什么?我们这一生总是在等,等将来,等不忙,等有钱,等到了后来只有遗憾。因为你永远也不知道下一秒将会发生什么,所以请善待自己。这个世界其实就你一个人,你在世界就在,你没了世界就消失了。人这一辈子想得开的就是天堂,想不开就是地狱。越在意什么,什么就会折磨。你你越计较什么,什么就会困扰你。你之所以痛苦就是因为你太过较真了。你之所以迷茫就是因为你太计较得失了。‘


survival

钱没了可以再挣,工作没了可以再找,朋友没了可以再交,爱情没了可以再找,你生来就一无所有,何惧从头再来。强大的人不是能征服什么,而是能承受什么。睡前原谅一切,醒来便是重生。活着就要遇山开路,遇水架桥,出门靠自己,四海皆为家,得到未必是福,失去未必是祸,人生各有渡口,各有各洲,万般皆是命,半点不由人。有一句话说得好,成熟不分早晚,重要的是你能坚持,在崩溃中前行。这才是一个男人该有的样子 


Attitude

我唯独喜欢自己的一点就是仁至义尽后的彻底绝情。因为我不再亏欠你,所以你也无需试探。我一旦开始反感就再也不会喜欢。你有你做事的理由,我有我为人的自由。善良的人一旦选择了绝情,你连跪着的资格都没有。


Educating next generation

你们家起的最早的是谁?我妈妈。在你们家,谁是负责赚钱干活最多的人?我爸爸。

对,那最后一个问题,吃的最好的,睡的最香的是谁?我。

是吧,到你自己了,你这吃的挺好的,玩的也挺好的,你看你打扮的多潮啊,衣服穿得多好啊,都是名牌。我怎么没觉得看着你好呢?你的学习状态哪去了?你要等到你爸妈头发全都白了之后,他们干不动了,人老了,你才明白什么叫努力,那个时候觉得你还有用吗?

你知道这个世界上最没良心的人是谁吗?是忘恩负义,对不对?那些吃父母的,花父母的,就还有脑子里去恨父母的人,要钱的时候要求父母的时候,我态度好,我是个乖乖仔。不要的时候,巴不得他们离你越远越好,是吧?滚到天边月最好,然后把她微信都给拉黑了,不会联系爸爸妈妈了,对不对?你要真的是个男子汉,我告诉你,你注意自己的态度,等他们离你很远的时候,孩子,子欲养而亲不待。老师上课也讲过你,不要等到你亲人不在了,你最后后悔都来不及。你能够明白吗?你可能现在还没有感受到,我希望今天老师说的话,你听进去。对你没有坏处, 你自己再去感受感受,谁是真的在你遇到困难的时候,再对你好的人。真心对你,愿意就你拉你一把的人。是不是你想明白这个道理,你在想着你要不要跟那些狐朋狗友出去鬼混,好吧。老师最后一次提醒你了我相信你可以做到啊。

9 years on. i am back to where i am today

 It has been 9 years since my last blog. i thought blogspot has closed. but to my surprise, my blogs are still there. 

So what happen over the 9 years. 

I was in and out of 3 companies, Getting higher in my career path and accelerating into the next stage of life. well, i can say that in my last co. i have been treated differently and seems to be well respected "Like a boss". then came the drastic truth of cost cutting, everything i built over the last 9 years seems to have crashed. finding myself unemployed and lost in the vast universe. 

Good that i have enough savings that tide me through this period, i don't know how long more will i still be in this situation. *fingers crossed*. Not here to bitch of my life, but what i have learned....

Well the thing is, what we have today can be gone in seconds, be it career, health, family, friends. the hopes of all companies promising great future may just be an empty promise. the illusion of doing good, life good may just be another dream. 

I have tried many things over the last 5 months, venturing into businesses, understanding different businesses and supplies. trying my best to bring myself together. indeed, it is terribly hard. emotionally unstable. and trying my best to be strong. but each time i try to get up, i realize its another illusion.

and probably the underlying issue with me is i am still battered by the sheer fact that i am no longer where i used to be. going back to the lowest point just don't seem motivating for me.  

Guess the next best option is still to find another job, the only difference is, there is no more emotions, no more passion in the next work that i am in. as what people say, if you don't expect anything there is no disappointment.

I guess everyone has their tastes of ups and downs in life to really call it life. else life can be as boring as it can gets. 

At least i am still blessed with a great family. I am really proud to have a good and supportive wife. and 4 kids who are sensible and doing well. well, the only downside is the elder generation are getting on my nerves now and then, trying to discord my principles of coaching my children, giving old and outdated information to the kids, being negatives, nagging, and creating friction in the family. 

till next time, Ciao!!
