thots on vesak night.

i was just reading a fren's blog. well nt exactly a fren now cos i havent been talking to her for like 8 yrs. but the thing is, i dun ustand why some people can be so god damn pessimistic for like forever?

the thing in life is u dont get everything. i mean there are pp who are so lucky and blessed to have everything in life, the looks, the results, the money, the figure, all tt u can think of. u can probably say that they did good deeds in their previous life so they get all the good things in the current life, or u can also say that everything just happens nicely for them in life.

for such pp, i envy and be happy for them. but there are some people who are perpetually JEALOUS of everyone and everything and they are constantly sore about everything ard them.

they may have a nice and warm family, but they can say that the family is not as rich as compared to others. they may have lovely and caring bfs but at times too busy with work to spend some lovey dovey time with them, then they say the bfs dont love them.

then sometimes they have a stable job where everything is good and fine, they keep thinking that the grass on the other side is always greener.

oh talking abt it, u know, been in the recruitment field for MERELY 2 weeks, i have seen how unrealistic and inpractical many pp have been.

they dont work hard, yet they dream of making it big.

to me, success = 95% hard work + 5% luck. or perhaps for some pp, they have a bigger % of luck. tt is a different issue altogether.

most of us go thru the norm in life, we study, we get a job and then we start from scratch and to work hard to climb up the ladder. and we will be proud of what we are cos at least we know we made it up there on our own.

but hor, i dunno why there are many pp who dream of being at top w/o even climbing.

just e other day, this guy who has graduated from ITE came to me and ask for a job.

before i even proceed to talk abt the incident, i wan everyone to know that i do not discriminate ITE grads. i seriously do not discriminate, but it is essential for u guys to know that the job market pays accordingly to the qualifications and it is god damn true.

i looked thru his employment history and find no hint of perm job before. tt simply spells tt he is a fresh grad from ite. and what do u expect from a freshie man?

i asked him abt his pay expectations and he said anything from $1600-1800, then he doesnt wan shift work, blah blah blah.

i was like WOAH.

so i nodded my head and thanked him for coming down, but at the back of my head, i know it is not that easy to get him a job.

a fresh dip grad is only getting abt $1400-1600. so u get my point.

like i say, im nt looking down on ITE grads, im just making a point tt the job market pays accordingly to the qualifications.

anyways i was talking abt tt fren of mine, out of 10 posts tt i read, she is grumbling and complaining abt life like 9 times.

sigh, i dunno why. but i think pp shld learn to be contented with things that they dont have. u learn to be contented with life by learning to love things tt u have, and not learning to love things that u want to have.

:)
