Super7 Turbocharged April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 This is Chinese culture. everything is money and money is everything. Even in our CNY greetings. GONGXIFACHAI, and the more recent HUAT AH... As much as we Sporean Chinese don't want to be identified with Ah Tiongs, but we share the basic core value...still. Some say the west has always been and still is greedy + outward-looking and therefore colonised others and exploited them. This continues till today through different strategies instead of colonisation. The Chinese were contended despite the opportunities, their number, and many inventions in the past therefore didn't colonise others like the west. In fact, they were bullied and not aggressive/greedy enough to fight its invaders. Only in recent time that china starts to exert itself but in a manner which is still relatively mild compared with others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 (edited) He has the right to say anything he wants give any advice because he is successful. He will not be here saying those things if he failed. Yes yes but why does he look so miserable? Successful - yes, rich - yes but happy? Doesn't look happy to me. If this is the face of success I am happy to be a failure. Please do not show the picture of his eyes to young children they may have nightmares for life. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, this is a man has a tortured soul. Edited April 18, 2014 by Jamesc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 Agreed. I know of people who are sole breadwinner for the family. Parents poor health/unemployed, supporting a younger sibling thru' tertiary education. Essentially sacrificed any ambition they had for income stability. Some of them are going to end up forever alone also because of their commitments. A good family environment is so important. How to chong in career when the family is not settled. No no no there is someone for everyone. We are all connected to our soul mate by an invisible thread that when the time is right will bring us together. If that doesn't work, brides from Vietnam are very nice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourth 2nd Gear April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 Earn a decent living, answer to your own inner call & moral beliefs. When the time is up, everyone of us will go :) we can't bring even a single cent. When we are borned, we bring nothing to earth; when we gone, we bring nothing back... Just do some good deeds when we are still alive in this world now... So right!!! But before that.... can we go buy a nice car to drive first? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuelsaver Supercharged April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 That is the start of arrogance. On hindsight, with success behind him, he can say all he wants but if he failed ? If he failed, we don't get to read this news or another news w of the one w success. Ppl jus speak of their exp at that pt in their life. So philosophies at diff stage n state of achievement in life differs. The Chinese weren't greedy enough but you forgot something. The Chinese then were very SELFISH.

Some of them are selfish eg not keen towards helping charities because they are first generation "RICH", including 暴发户， 土豪， who continue to hoard and splurge.

Thaiyotakamli Supersonic April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 Some of them are selfish eg not keen towards helping charities because they are first generation "RICH", including 暴发户， 土豪， who continue to hoard and splurge. These ppl who got rich suddenly of course no time to do charities, they want to try and feel living in most luxury environment as possible and pamper themselves for their hard works. Once they get bored with luxury life then they will start charities. Moreover many doesnt receive proper education so they don't know what is happening around this world. Actually not only Chinese as most human are selfish by nature, research has shown that just that some did it in obvious way while others don't. The ang moh though they are charitable but long time ago during the era of exploration and colonization, they were selfish and arrogant... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
