Messy Christmas

 


I always thought my identification number is and should be protected and kept private. Now, someone said it is not to be and un-masked it when searched. Damn! We can complain loud and cry foul, but would big Bro listen? There is an old Chinese saying: 官字两个口, meaning nobody can ever win any debate with officials as they all have “2 mouths”. Sigh.

Keep looking

 

If you’re still searching for success, keep looking.

There is an old Chinese saying: 天生我才必有用, meaning everyone has potentials that are useful somewhere. You just need to find the right path (出路). Many have already found their successes.

At this age, I’m still looking and waiting for mine as my luck has yet to arrive. Sigh!

You’re lucky

 

When you have reached many milestones and accumulated enough wealth, congratulations! You’re lucky and successful. Though money cannot buy happiness, no money surely no happiness. Of course, you may debate what is “enough” to be happy. It’s just a matter of personal perspective.

Fake it till you make it

 

Success is mainly about luck and who you know. It’s not about what you know or how hard or smart you work. If I like my Boss, I’m motivated to give more without asking. If I don’t like my Boss, I give only when asked. But if the Boss is paying me real good money for little work done, I have to force myself to pretend to like my Boss and my work. It’s called the “fake it till you make it” way of survival in the harsh workplace today.
