lost somewhere in time
Read a couple of blogs and journals recently. Met up with a lot of people. did a few catching up. Found out that most of my friends generally doing nothing yet. Some procastinating, some still bumming around. Some left life as it is. some chose to run away. some still waiting for money to drop from the sky. some spending time with their loved ones. some dread when V'day to come. And it hits me like what am i doing too?
Me? usual..... busy with work( i know some of you tells me to cut the crap). don't seem to have a life after work. so much so that hasn't been blogging that regular anymore. Maybe i engrossed myself too much in work but no work no money leh~ A few basic principle - if you don't work hard now, you probably won't have the energy to fire-bust by the thirties or forties. i'll probably be a fat bastard shopping for diapers, milk powders, teaching my kids 2+2=4 and watching the forever-heartlanders-favourite TV serials by my counterparts in the company. If you don't work hard now, there's no guarantee of the lifestyle you want. if you don't work hard now, you will be single for the rest of your life( that's BULLSHIT!!) if you don't work hard now, when are you going to work hard then?
Was talking to one of my lawyers' friend. He takes home a 5 figure sum of money every month and he clocks 100 hours at work a week; only means he left 68 hours for himself to sleep, eats, plays, do his stuff, etc. The only thing that he's proud of now, as in now is that he finally has a property to call his own.
In mist of achieving something, you lose/ sacrifice other things. i guess it won't balance like the way you want it to be. Balancing work and love, balancing family and friends. i guess it's hard to determine if the sacrifice is worthy until you gotten to that part of road.
