It's been a long while since the last update. And again, the word "busy" comes to mind.
What if, we just take one minute, Just one minute, to stop....and breathe in the fresh air that we have been missing as we go about our hectic schedule. Just talking General here. Singaporeans work too hard. Too hard. For what? The primary basic human need is monetary.
BUT if you had me choose between a job that pays >$2000 with hectic schedules, strict leave and long hours OR a job that pays <$1400 and rewards you with more leave and time-offs, I would ultimately choose the latter in the long haul. But for now, I thirst to satisfy my human need.
We spend almost 3/4 of our lives working our ASS off. Along the way, as we churn and churn our body machine to handle work-related stress, would any of these come to mind?
What if you had missed being by your grandmother's side at the hospital death bed.
What if you had missed an emergency phonecall that someone you love had made, just to tell you that he is in danger ,the exact time you are in an important meeting.
What if you had missed your child's first steps and words, or what if your child's first word is "fuck", who's to blame?
What if you missed the time spent with your parents who may be left all alone and sad.
All because of work and time spent on your job?
