Happy Thaipusam Festival 2014

LOL! It is another "annual post" again for Thaipusam celebration. Hereby I would like to wish anyone who celebrate this day a Happy Thaipusam Festival 2014. Guess I'm the only person who still carry on the past when I wrote this post as it seems like last year for the same content. There is not much happening for today as I continue to help my mother to paint the outside of our house. Somehow I can't really say much about being productive when my time schedule for today was 11am-1pm painting wall, have a quick lunch, continue with the afternoon painting at 3pm to 5pm, followed on night time assist sister to hold the paint with the ladder. Hence, I left only few hour to read some news related to the oil and gas company that I would go for interview next week.

Besides, sister had shared some story about the "八两金" (Bobby Yip, 原名叶竞生,葉子申) from 988街頭大人物 story sharing and I just realized he had gone through a lot hardship in his past. According to what I heard, he was a very rich guy before he involved himself in the entertainment industry as the "ugly" person. During the economy crash in 1997, he had almost gone bankrupt and a lot people looked down on him which make him realized that the society was materialistic based on what I heard from my sister. Frankly speaking, I was quite agree with what my sister said that we won't ever know the truth self of people around them until he/she faced the most bottom part of their life. (当你走到人生最低潮的时候,那些帮助你的人将会是你最真心的朋友)

Suddenly I have so many thoughts gone through my mind again when my sister said that I should treasure every moment when I have the opportunity to make money. It is because when you're old and retire, no one would able to "feed" you or hire you because those young fresh graduate would offer a lower salary compare to you. In short, she means that I must try my very best to earn the money that I could as I'm young especially I'm 24 year old this year as we do not came from rich family background. Honestly, my mother was the person who worry about me the most whether I had the capability to survive in this society because I don't really have a very clear direction. Seriously I need to find a way to stand out from all of the other fresh graduate like me when my public speaking and communication skills is not strong.

Furthermore, people who work in the sales job will have more time as they are more flexible than those people who work in the office most of the time. I even heard that salesman could do 2 full time job in the same time working for two different company if you're smart enough. In the end, the salesman have a higher chance to become their own boss than those office worker because they have more contact and strong in communication skills. During the night, I searched some property to rent and felt like I'm going through the same process again where I might choose to rent a house in Wangsa Maju or any house that near to LRT station when I don't have my own transport now. In addition, I couldn't able to think how to buy a property this day when everything is so expensive but the salary is so low.

This is because a simple calculation like saving RM1,000 every month for 3 years = RM36,000 require a strong dedication and your salary must be earning RM3,000 or more if you want to save this kind of money. On the other hand, I start to realized that couple would have a higher chance to buy a property when compare to a single person because two person working is definitely better than "fighting" alone. This is quite true when I saw my sister and brother managed to buy a property and yet I still unemployed while "talking empty" for some time. Actually when I was writing this post, it does make me think back about my objective of writing this post was to hope that some people will not repeat the mistake that I had done although you won't truly realise about it unless it happened to you.

What I can say that imagine you look on a person like me who had wasted spend almost 6 years recording my life and you could just get all the experience by a single click. In addition, how would my "future son" see his dad wasting his life and this make me felt ashamed. At last, it was so true that you need to create value for others people before you can ask a favor from the other person. Anyway, I would like to share 24 Invaluable Skills to learn for free online and there is no more reason that you can say nothing to do. The world is very competitive and if you didn't catch up with the latest trends or acquire new skills, you would be fallen out of the competition and getting nowhere sooner or later. In conclusion, the time is so limited with the things that we wanted to learn and the secret to manage our time could be delegated easy task to others people. One last sentences that I would like to share by my previous Tarc College tutor was "You have to do the hard things. The things that no one else is doing. The things that scare you. The things that make you wonder how much longer you can hold on. Those are the things that define you. Those are the things that make the difference between living a life of mediocrity or outrageous success." in our life.
