disoriented monday
everything passed so quickly today. some dispearsed reflections before i zzz.
ethics
we were having tea break today when we talked about ndp. i managed to ballot 2 tickets to the actual day celebrations and we digressed into saying how these tickets can fetch a high price on the black market. it suddenly hit me that I actually strongly felt it was unethical to do that. i was kind of taken aback by my own reaction. to put this into context, I was once a young man who didn't bothered about going to ndps nor thought about the importance of loyalty to the nation. i guess NS certainly served its purpose on me. what can i say? well, one thing for sure, i do sincerely believe that without the "guo2" (country), there will never be a "jia1" (home).
materialism
that ndp ticket auction topic reminded me about something on my mind these days: the big S11.
there is always a constant struggle within me, whether to focus more fully on studies, or divert some focus to get the dough. it just seems so unlogical sometimes. others are busy earning the moolah, while im spending my time expending moolah on studies. when i grad, i carry with me a sack of debt, while some may already carry with them a bag of "kaching". nevertheless, the general advice i've been given, is to enjoy myself now, and think about the dough later. after a couple of weeks at xm, it seems that this advice is finally sinking in. it seems that the more u get worried about the dough, it is in fact this worry that is holding u back and preventing u from performing to your fullest potential. now the challenge lies in choosing a viable path, and then just concentrating on doing whatever i'm doing to the best. its true when they say, as long as u focus on what u're doing, everything else will take care of itself. (i suddenly thought of the mastercard advert. heh)
