money

is it just me or is that being materialistic is part of most singaporeans genes? it's like a lot of girls that i noe of (there are those guys too) who are really, and i mean really materialistic. everything is about chasing the materialistic things in life.

a girl once told me that money is not everything in this world, but u do need money to survive. i kinda cringed when i heard that coz makin money your primary goal just isnt worth it, no matter at what cost.

so what if u drive a lamborghini or ferrari? so what if you have a house that's divided into a west wing and an east wing and u have an underground carpark that houses every make of mercedes from 1970 till the present? so what if you have all the materialistic thing in life? then what's your next goal? precisely my question to you.

while i do agree that u do need the green to survive in this world, but when u think about it all the time, it somehow gets to you after a while and changes you. you start to see people differently. what used to be ur friends now become ur rich friends and poor friends. you may not agree yet with me but time is a good teacher.

its alright to think bout money. but not all the time such that everythin that u think about has to do with it. should i get him that shirt for his birthday? he really likes it? nah i shan't spend that amount of money on him. what's up with that? money has s tarted to control the person.

the trick to chasing money is not to chase it too hard. like a bird in your hand, if you hold it too tight, it'll die and if you hold it too loosely, it'll fly away. and if you treat money that way, u would have mastered it and still be able to enjoy it.

think about it.
