True Happiness

MONEY may not necessarily be evil but the craving for it certainly is, or so it seems.

Curious, isn’t it. But the incontestable truth is that money is so powerful that it’s arguably the motivating force that drives our world.

In this respect, money ticks all the right boxes – it rules our lives, makes things happen, gets things moving but it can also be abused.

Indeed, many street vagrants in London are said to prefer money than food nowadays in this increasingly deceptive world.

Yet the latest research that money doesn’t buy happiness for Britons speaks volumes of their stressful lifestyle, particularly in the British capital.

Well, London may have everything that money can buy; the best in fabulous food, divine decor, gorgeous gifts, funky fashion, exquisite entertainment. The list goes on.

But when it comes to happiness, Britain is way behind France and Spain which topped the European Quality of Life Index, compiled by price comparison site uSwitch.com.

The findings may come as no surprise to Londoners, whose city of nearly eight million inhabitants has changed dramatically over the past two decades.

And living in one of the world’s largest and most diverse metropolis has its price, even though their salaries are more than £10,000 (RM56,000) above the European annual average.

For the city’s a bewildering place, especially if you’re a first-timer and trying to fit in with more than 200 communities speaking over 300 languages.

Very often, you find yourself the only one speaking English among your fellow bus or train commuters – the rest are spouting a myriad of foreign languages over their mobile phones or with their companions!
Hence, it’s not so much a question of money but more in terms of living a quality life amid the challenges of a melting-pot environment.

Admittedly, money can buy a certain degree of happiness; you can get a decent meal, pay your household bills, wear your favourite clothes or have a great day out.

Likewise, a hungry, homeless person living on the streets can hardly be happy if he doesn’t have even a single quid to buy a sandwich to fill his stomach.

Simply put, money can buy something that may put a smile on your face or let you do the things you love to do.

Of course, there’s a distinct difference between materialistic and true happiness – the latter coming from within and depending on how you perceive it. But then again, money may not make you completely happy, as you’ll probably be surrounded by fair-weather friends who are simply eyeing your wealth.

In fact, there’re plenty of miserable rich people out there – celebrities, film stars and footballers as financial stability does not necessarily guarantee happiness.

Just as you can be alone but not lonely, the richest people in the world are sometimes unhappy, while the poorest the happiest.

For many, true happiness is being in the company of their loved ones or with genuine friends. After all, this is one commodity that cannot be bought or sold.

To be or not to be: That is the question

To be or not to be:
         That is the question

This famous quote is from Shakespear's "Hamlet", act three, scene 1.

What is done, is done. Why do I always carry out the role as group leader? Whether by non-consciously or appointed to be. Managing personal works is one thing, but managing other people's works is another totally different kind of things. Ay, depending on the competency level of course, but still, it is not a simple task.

I am not a verbal criticizer nor a pacifist. I sent the message across once and expect to receive comprehension. After all, we all are mature enough to evaluate, right?

But then again, the job is done. Thank you guys.

They say clever people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people, however, learn from other people's mistakes.

Headshrink hour

What now? Err.. Monologue with myself, I think so..

Monologue? Yeah... And you are my second conscious persona...

WOw...Sounds cool.. Any reason to summon me? Nth in particular...

Hmm... Alright... You're leaving me to conduct this session? Haha... you know me...

Zzzz... What a whimsical guy... = = ''' (no comment)

You feeling okay? I guess not... I dunno...

Then you are not okay. Why the depressed look? Huh? You can tell?

Hey, I am you, remember? Alright alright... I'll spill it out... But where to start?

Let's start with, What have you accomplished? Nth...

What makes you say so? Coz my old frens have more accomplishments than me...

How do you know that? Facebook. Duh....

And your new Uni frens? Incomparable... due to my biased point of view...

So you wished you're with your old frens more? It's an unfair question. I missed them as well as I cherish my new frens here. There's no contradiction. I am sure they will answer the same as me.

What are you talking about? I want to accomplish more. Of course with the support of my new frens here. The same goes to my old frens who've accomplished with their new frens' support.

Meaning that you're an underachiever now? Erm... Sort of...

Are you willing to go back to the past? Who doesnt? Undoing the things that I've done and doing things that I have not done.

So that? So that my present will be much better than it already is.

But how about your future? I dunno. I think it is based on my present.

Alright... there are three types of people. First type is the one who wants to live in the past. The second is the one who wants to live in the present. The third is the one who wants to live in the future. Which one is you? Right now I think I am the first type.

But you mentioned " Right now". Which means that you'll be the second or third type right? Yeap.

Are you evaluating this session as a self negativity session? I do not think so. I am more of thinking this as a brainstorming session. Rearranging what is out of place and discovering new stuff (such as priorities)

I think that concludes our session now. Wish you all the best and remember that the best in your life is yet to be discovered. If there's anything else you know how to summon me right? Righty-O

p/s: Will this be edited? Depends. Right now I think it is fine. And I wanna sleep.
