Well said.

Very good read indeed

[Chewbacca]

Interesting.

 

Hmmmm. Well, I'm definitely not an elite.

 

But I think my sister and her son are turning into them.

 

But what exactly is the definition of an elite? We all know one when we see one, but exactly what makes them that?

wow

Nice, but wonder how many of our elite "ruler" up there will try and live the life of "commoner" for a few mths and get a feeling what most of us middle class is trying to make end meet....

cant really blame them, if someone is talented with high post and well paid. He can also live humble with bare basic. the only different is they always have something to fall back on and do not feel the struggle if the sky collapse

it tells one truth....when you have no worries about money...you will start to think life is lonely etc etc...how happy it is if you can be the maid to cycle under 20 degree home for just rice and vegetable....

 

I will always tell this kind of pple....switch the role first...try it out for a few years....before telling the story....

 

I am still waiting for someone whom is too rich and think that their life is hollow that wished for a change to switch a role with me....I think it benefit myself too to be able to get into the thoughts of the rich for a few years....

 

I don't think the maid got time to think so much !!!!

 

In chinese...I will describe as ""吃饱饭没事做，胡思乱想。""
