The only person who is really 'stuck' is unfortunately YOU.
NOT in the country, but in the deep recesses of your mind.
Do you seriously think leaving the country will solve your
problem? Will you be able to survive there, socially &
economically? Do you seriously think australia with its racists
problems, US with its terrorism and ISA type laws on top of crimes,
Europe with its extreme racist culture, etc...etc..come to think of
it....discrimination is common overseas, is it not?
Why does a person have to work hard? The fundamental truth is
that it is the only way to survive. Smartness can only help so
much. Have you seen any geniuses not needing to work hard? Bosses
entertain lavishly, play golf, live in landed property - such
rewards comes from working both hard and smart.
Some may claim to be born rich, but if he/she dont work hard to
maintain the money, it too can be gone and reduced to penury.
For goodness sake, PLEASE WAKE UP!! Nothing comes easy, more so
in these times. Everyone needs to work even harder BUT remember
always, we are not machines, and everyone MUST have and take their
breaks - weekends, offs, leaves, etc. Making money is NOT
EVERYTHING!
It is those times that life can be cherished and treasured,
during those breaks where we all unwind, make friends and enjoy
ourselves. Some human beings do not even get that chance overseas
in their struggle to make ends meet, not because they do not have
the ability to do so, but only lack the opportunity that you and me
- singaporeans have.
It's just so depressing to read your post, seeing your
irrational fears and feelings of unnecessary doom when we all still
have the brains, hands and legs to carve something out of this
crisis and overcome it by working harder and smarter, instead of
lying down and begging for sympathy......sigh..what can I do to
make you see the light?
I get what your saying xtreyier I hate to stereotype you the way
you are doing to me but I am well aware of what your trying to
say.
firstly going oversea is certainly not a good solution to
the problem, I am just saying what is happening, not saying its the
only way out..
to summarise what your trying to say "rewards come in forms of
hardwork and preservation" its not wrong.. but thats one of the
problem I am saying pointing to the kind of person we are made out
due to government's policies, we are being put in this
contradicting position whereas 80% of the countries effort is to
keep up on the economical growth which is deem as normal or "thats
the way to do it" in the eye of many people.
The result of sucessful education and good implementation of the
rules, it created a generation of singaporean whom ideas, priority
and value all focusing on what you have called "life". By
following the singapore version of the society rules we are deem
sucessful if we did well in it.. Personally I think what most
singaporean are doing now does not even sum up to 10% of whats
"life" all about, but everyone seek the same goals and have the
same mindset like a production line, everyone here claim to be
different but somehow they look the same to me.. personally I am
not a keen follower of the "singaporea society rules" as a
matter of fact it irks me....
"Everyone needs to work even harder BUT remember always,
we are not machines, and everyone MUST have and take their breaks -
weekends, offs, leaves, etc. Making money is NOT EVERYTHING!"
you know not everyone have the privilege to do that? you think
those aunties and uncles are stupid enough not to go
for upgrades and seek a better life? you will understand
better if you actually talked to and see the typical
everyday life they are having..
I know maybe I sound weird but I think singaporean need to look
beyond their set of logical right and wrong, do and not to
do to understand why the government policies "stuck" its
citizen...
I know i be flame unless someone who understand and can
express better than me read this and speak on my behalf..
*PS angel we are not on the same frequency i bet you barely read
2 line of my first post..
