why ?

hmm .
why do people pursue material gains so much ?
i dont deny i dont , but to do so at the expense of your own health , at the expense of time spent with people you love ; quality time .
isit worth it ?
after all , once you're gone , you cant bring all these to your coffin .
why not live a life you wont regret ?
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
It doesnt matter what you owned, what you were owed or what you bought, but what you built.
It will not matter what you learnt but what you taught.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many people will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. -
say so much also no use
these people will still exist.
don't waste your time, just spend it on something else. -

pity .. sometimes it takes a large setback to make people realise things ..
but then again it's never too late .. -
Because for some, there are goals only money can achieve.

settle for a job you really like , with lower pay ,
or a job you hate , but pays highly ?
what's worse is a job with low pay and you hate, having to slog your guts out everyday . why not look for a change . low pay may mean lesser income , and as long as you can make ends meet , live comfortably(not in luxury) , then why not ? -
true . no wonder life is such a mystery .Originally posted by MooKu:But for some, it seems they value those goals more than anything.
sometimes bad things happen to let you realise the good things . -

Well, people nowadays are materialistic... face it. be it up front or passive...
what phone you are using? the latest model or even a black and white clear phone? you should stick to the coin phone...
what clothings you are wearing? giordano or the armani? you should be wearing cloths bought from market...
Wallet? I think you guys should know where this leads to...

i aint using latest phone model . ahahas .
mine's quite old already .
but its sufficient already .
but your point's right too .
i guess it depends on the level of materialism .

it really depends on how much lower or higher i guess. and well, its not enough to just make ends meet. what about your future? what about your children's education, hospitalisation? etc. some times its nto abotu luxury but to be able to have that spare capacity and to retire when there is a need.Originally posted by kiseki:for studyin there's no choice .. but for working ?

and of course confortable life is quite subjective. some poodles prob think having to stay in less than a condo or nt having a driver is a torture....
besides the person sometimes just cannot find or get a job which they don't hate and with at least reasonable pay. -

true. you could say that. but then, i guess that would be putting it too far.Originally posted by kiseki:i think its not the case of not being able to find a job they dont hate , its just the attitude .
otherwise one could say that there should be nothing you hate or love, its just the attitude. -
hahas . and you're true in a way .Originally posted by hisoka:true. you could say that. but then, i guess that would be putting it too far.

i think it's how you face things .
some people meet a hiccup in the morning , and they choose to spend the rest of their day in a bad mood , just moping away .
others just treat it indiferrently , they choose to forget it , and spend the rest of their day in a cheery mood .
