Haha good lor

 

Dont wait until no shoe then treasure what u have

 

But honestly, sometimes, even while one might try to treasure what they have, they might not realise that they actually have more than they think they have. Ah well... I'm just glad I get to learn more each day, whether it was a good day or bad day, and try to treasure what I know I have, knowing that I will definitely make stupid mistakes along the way.

Nice video :)

 

Will have stories to share and tell children :)

Things may always look better at the other side, however, ppl always neglected that they are, in fact, in a very very good place and condition now ....

 

Be contented :)

Contentment make poor ppl happy; and discontentment make rich ppl unhappy

 

 

exactly, as I say, contentment is a virtue and we should practice some gratitude along with it for the blessings we have.

This reminds me of a story i tell my children.

 

There is the boy who hope and wish so much about having the latest branded sports shoes that some of his friends have. Then there is the boy born without feet who would be most willing to go barefooted the rest of his life.

I think you are a great father, teaching values is important in parenting :)

Ask then also:

 

Why am I happy? Go home time, lunch time

Why am I unhappy? Go to work time, come back from lunch time

Why am I stressed? My job

Why am I anxious? Lose my job and no income

 

The roots of happiness are the roots of misery, two sides of the same coin.

 

:D

That's very true. I was clearing out my drawer and found some old coins at the back.

 

It was about $3 and I had a nice char kway teow.

 

Stupid mistakes is just a learning process.

 

Make enough of them and soon you will be

 

making clever ones.

 

:D

There are many reasons why Singaporeans today appear to complain more.

 

Unlike yesteryear many Singaporeans have indeed attained their basic needs such as food and shelter.

 

As we grow and hopefully mature we seek for other things like leisure, work life balance, freedom of speech and etc. These cannot be obtained overnight and hence some of the reasons for unhappiness

 

 

Bread and butter issues such as cost of living and affordability, ever since Quantitative easing the world economy does not follow the tradition cycles. Too much money floating around.

It does not only affect Singapore but also other countries.

 

It is real difficult problem to solve but my personal opinion is for people to be prudent with their money. A downturn is expected as nothing keeps going up only and I suspect sometime in 2016.

 

Bottom line is we need to take care of ourselves first, if we are unhappy, we also affect people around us including our family and friends.

Believe that there's a place for everyone but may be in a different environment, when you are not happy in one does not mean you can't be happy in another.

 

Just need to find the right one that you can thrive in

 

Seen people who did not do well in a work place but when they change to another, they do very well

 

It's all about opportunity, and maybe some luck and sometimes a lot of hard work, sweat and heartache and most importantly, you need to find a boss who recognize your work

 

If you boss recognize your work, you will do well in your career and your bank account will have more $$$ and you can have extra $$$ to spend it in anyway you like

Sometimes a chay kway teow stall is good enough.

Whenever I go back and see my wife and kids, I am happy liao. I do not wear branded and not even a watch. My only two expensive purchases are my home and my car. I am rich in happiness but poor in my bank and it's going to stay that way. Bittersweet.
