"出來"社會工作 (十五) _Know what you want in life?

有一段時間沒寫我事業的點滴心情了.

Hmm... 感覺到有少許無助呀,這是我心裡的話. 因接近三年的春秋了,仍然沒甚麼進展的.

剛翻開八月份Personal Money閱讀,讀了最後第二頁的"a word from the wise"題目的一篇本月的論文 "Know what you want in life" 由一位理財兼商業顧問所發表的稿, 其中內容有說道這麼一段 :

"I have asked many people , be they businessmen or wage earners, why they work so hard. More often than not, the answer was "to make more money". But there are always sacrifices that need to be made for every extra dollar that one earns. More importantly, do they know what they want in life? Does earning more money help them achieve what they want in life?"

然後最後的幾句就寫著 "Money, career, family, friendship and others. What takes precedence?" 呵! 最最後還題了個問題 : "Do you have an answer?"

我讀後覺得很諷刺, 涕笑不可, 卻不得不認同這句話的準確性.

難到不是這樣嗎? 相信很多人被問到底懂得人生要的是何物是, 不也就會回答 "我要更好的生活,我要身邊的人也快快樂樂", 當然這裡指的是有"足夠"的錢的快樂....所以不管你怎樣回答都會離不開說要work hard, 或work harder !!!

所以, 上面的 "Does earning more money help them achieve what they want in life?" 我特別highlight, 讓你也讓自己重新思考一搬.

祝我們, 能達成人生真正的愉快和自各的目標.

Big Houses Owner Different Life Path

In just within a week's time, two more properties added up into my list.

And, they are both worth more than half a million ringgit. . . .

One is at Seri Kembangan, Taman Bukit Serdang.

And this unit is at Jalan Ipoh, near a scenic pond view.

I was excited of course excited, but in my mind, I was even more anxious, pondering what would be the better way to promote them out, and eventually close the deal, hoho. In front of you, I'm transparent about my desire, hah!

I'm new, wondering am I auspicious enough to yield such handsome remuneration.

You know, people tend to be curious when the owner wanna to sell such big premise, since they used lot of money to purchase it initially. Ya know what, the former owner is migrating, so it is a good reason to promote this house to my prospect buyer. I felt happy for this family, but I would even more merrier if I could close the deal !!!

The latter is belonging to a owner who is confronted with financial calamity. I feel a bit sorry for them. After collecting the informations that I required for me to put it up in the website, I chatted with them, snapped some pics in and out the house. Before I left, I told the lady owner that I reckon she is heavy-hearted to sell it off, and not to mention that I could sensed the sorrowfulness within them to stay in a more-humble dwelling premise in later part of they life.

Hmm, two different background, different houses, simaliar luxuriousity, but with vary ending.

That's life.
