What is an underachiever, overachiever, achiever or whatever
labels others pin on?
The only person who can look down on you is yourself.
So what if you are earning only a $1,000 a month? It is still
money. You only need to rationalise your expenditure, cut back on
expenses, save some of it, and at all times, ALWAYS seek for ways
to increase your earning so that you may enjoy a higher quality of
life, which is within anyone's grasp in our society.
You wann go to the movies? By all means. But is it necessary? $5
bucks can get you a dvd at discount stores. $2.50 meals? sure thing
- rice, with meat and vege. $1 bus ride? Why not excercise and walk
that distance instead?
Need a place to stay? $150/mth will get you a room in a HDB
flat.
As long as one has brain, hands and legs, one will not starve.
Espacially in Singapore. And it doesnt mean you will always earn
only $1000 a month for life. We are a society based on merit, and
the opportunities to rise is plentiful, so long as our work
attitude is right, with or without certificates. Unfortunately, not
many have good working attitudes, or local bosses have
integrity.
So be smart and be like the grass - no matter which way the wind
blows, the grass still remain planted on the ground - self
confidence, resiliance and ADAPTABILITY - the blood of our
forefathers that created Singapore as it is today flow through
us all.
