by now, many of you have probably read this book already. early last year, when sis passed me the book, i finished it in one day and couldn't wait to share how good this book was. it talked about life and work. relationships and money. not bgr but more like family and friendship ties. and i thought i had already learnt the importance of these relationships and at the same time, understood that money isn't all that is needed. until now, when i'm having fever and headache, when i blacked out 2 days ago at home, when i couldn't work on thursday, when i lost the mini cooper midnight job. i began to see, why am i slogging myself out for money? this holiday, i've taken up 2 jobs already. if i had accepted the mini cooper one, it'd be the third. why am i killing myself over it?
then i thought about weeteck. just when i thought of recommending this book to him, i realised that he doesn't really need it. he is living how life should be lived. he spends more time with his friends and family, occasionally doing assignment basis work to get by. sure, some of you may think it's unambitious. but hey, he's happy doing what he is doing. that's all that's important, isn't it? rather than working 6 days a week and resting the remaining 24 hours. you don't even have time to enjoy the cash you reap. this illness has struck me a heavy deal. i understood that i don't have to fret over this money issue so much. as long as i can get a job, it's fine. i don't have to work every other day that i get off from another job. guang suggested my illness is due to exhaustion, others suggested it's due to stress. haha... whatever it is, i sure hope i recover soon.
i seriously recommend this book to all of you who have yet to read it. the idea of the whole book? 'learn how to die before you learn how to live'
