Humans sometimes got to learn to be contented with the simple things in life... Yes money is very important in the Singapore society, you can't basically live in this world without money but it is not the most important thing in this world I suddenly realise... there are so many things that money can never buy.. like true love, laughter etc... there are thousands of millionaires or billionaires out in this world... they have the biggest landed properties, nice houses overlooking magnificant views, all the diamonds they ever wanted, the branded goods, the fame, best holidays, private islands, nice penthouse offices etc... but they may still lack the most basic and simple things in life like love and laughter... half the times they are stressed over work... or even buried in work.. people are frenz with them because of their money not because they truly like them as a frenz... they might even have lost the word laughter or smile in their dictionary.... how pathetic can it be? Yet they have all the things that thousands and millions of people are chasing after.... I too wanted the best things in life, nice holidays etc.. but I dun think I will ever give up anything in exchange for it because it is not worth it... Buddhism taught us that in this world, in this life, we come into this world with nothing... and we will leave with nothing... there is nothing in this life that is precious that we can hold on to... but I hold on to some of the precious things to me in life.. my family, my relationships, my frenz and my life... other than that.. nothing is that important anymore...
I have a frenz who ask me to join his company in the hopes of making more money so I can live a better life... probably own a car, stay in a condo, go for expensive luxurious holidays... I admit I was tempted at the first thought of it.. but come to think abt it.. do I need it? I am happy with what I have now... yes humans are always greedy... but I am happy with what I have and I am contented with it...my deary boyfrenz, my family and frenz... and I surely wun go against my own principles in sales to achieve my targets giving up precious relationship with frenz and family members just to achieve my own goals in life..... afterall frenz and family will always be there for U.. money U can always do with less of it...
Rich people might have the biggest parties in the hippest disco or pub in town with all the famous celebrities and people attending it in branded gowns and sparkling jewellery... but I am contented and happy drinking with my group of frenz at a chalet with no special countdown or fireworks.. just laughter accompanied by the hugs and kisses of my beloved deary plus the gentle touch of his arms around me.. what else can I ask for..
