I always believe that if you start your life at the bottom of the ladder, you have more things to see.
Because when you start at the top, you can only see the top.
When you climb up, you get to see everything. -
other reasons? enlighten me leh.....

In life, you gain some, you lose some. For those who are successfully in climbing the corporate ladder, they lose in other areas of their life.Originally posted by the_don:hum... porb here is that it seems i'm not climbing as fast as my peers leh... grrrrr
Just be concerned how u can lead a meaningful life. Caring for our parents is also meaning
-
i look at it this way...
lots of my peers are holding higher paying jobs, higher positions... all that..
but i see them running to stand still... while i'm pretty much enjoying my work...
there will always be give and take... -
self confidence in urself is important... for me when i am into something i will be very serious to pick that skill up... other than family wealth theres nth i am lack off.. juz wan to lead a simple life with my love...
afterall life is unfair so y compare,juz lead ur life -
u r good the way you are.. why aim to be materialistic like others...?? besides what is right may not be popular..Originally posted by the_don:Attended a relative's wedding yesterday. She's a year my senior and both of us attended the same pri and sec school. Thru the years, my parents had not compared my achievements (or lack of it) with anyone else except with her. She's really pretty, i'm not. She got a killer figure while i can kill you with my figure. She got a glam job, i got a blah job. She married a somebody (in the local sports scene), had a $900++ per table wedding and i? i am still struggling to get a decent job.
sometimes i wonder if there is something wrong with me, my view of life. everybody is aiming 'higher' (like some gal frens of mine who only dates guys who drives) while i am just floating along. should i change myself and do wat others are doing? i wonder if i would be happier that way

the most valuable things in life are those that cannot be bought with money. -
the more they earn, the more they feel they need to buy, the more they'll need to earn, the more they'll never have the chance to enjoy what they achieved.. sometimes it's good to slow down and catch your breath. life's short enuf as it already is, why rush thru it so fervently?Originally posted by the Bear:i look at it this way...

but i see them running to stand still... while i'm pretty much enjoying my work...
there will always be give and take...
besides for pple like them, who r jus so busy snapping up the latest consumer goods in town, when they die, all they leave behind will be the great designer sofa, that prada wardobe, the great plasma tv... where are the memories??
you r a slave to what u buy and what u can afford, so why make urself vulnerable? -
How high can a Ladder goes?
I rather stay below, chest up and looks upwards....
Damn it, must be a heavy tummy pulling my weight down again...

just came across this quote to share:
'Possessions are a way of turning money into problems'
-U2 guitarist David 'The Edge' Evans -
marrying a "somebody" might not mean she'll definitely be happy
job wise, just try your best
you're doing it for yourself, not other people
body wise, hey how can your parents complain since they give birth to you
cheer up, going to weddings make us feel like that *sniff* i know -
You have to decide what is important to you. And make sure you never lose sight of it. As for the rest, maybe it is alright to let others win. Don't try to win and get a prize you do not really want (perhaps losing what you really want in the process).

Dearest Don,
Some pple find happiness in thgs tt shout glory & status. Some pple find happiness in the tiniest & simplest of thgs.
There're some of us who're destined for great thgs (e.g. Bro, who's far more driven than I cld ever be), & there're some of us who're happee to sacrifice the work time & spend it instead wif loved ones & frens.
There're some of us who're so totally gorgeous, tt rich guys fall @ their feet & take them out to expensive dinners. Then there're some of us who're normal but who're the most beautiful women in the world to the ones who love us.
I'd like to share this story my current boss told me. She & her fren were seated in a big car. The fren's husband is rich, & she doesn't need to work if she doesn't wan to. So both she & my boss went shopping, high tea, etc. When they stopped @ the traffic lights, they saw a couple on a motorcycle, tokking & laff'g. The fren sez'd wistfully, "They may be under the sun, they may be under the rain, but they're always together".
Between working alone in an office wif pple who're Not my loved ones but climbing up the corp ladder, & Not scoring a promotion ev. yr but having time for those who love me, I noe which 1 I'd choose.
Between being totally gorgeous & having rich guys chase me so I can be a prize on their arm, & being the most beautiful woman to the 1 who really matters, I noe which 1 I'd choose.
At the end of the day, when my guy tells me "I love u", I melt. And I noe wat I'd rather be

why use someone else's success to gauge your own success?

The "somebody" thing isn't all it's cracked up to be - I think I mentioned this ages ago in one of the other forums.
I used to date someone who was a model and a doctorate student, and she came from a well-to-do family (her dad is a federal judge). None of that counted and I'm a lot happier with my current girlfriend, who's none of the above.
It's not a case of getting someone with the best technical specifications - it's a case of being with someone who makes you most comfortable.

hmmm, u sound like my kind of gal .... can i date u?Originally posted by the_don:... sometimes i wonder if there is something wrong with me, my view of life. everybody is aiming 'higher' (like some gal frens of mine who only dates guys who drives) while i am just floating along ... -
