A Little message

When messages are not sent across.. You'd feel like an idiot. That's what I am or felt like at the moment. Its pathetic ...

So, anyway... Qiqi's question was, to take the 50% increment offered and work like a dog, or to stay with what she has currently and work a usual 9-6 job. I gave her every single reason to leave, reason not to leave, pros and cons and what-not (hey, just trying to stay neutral.... its HARD OKAY - esp. when I want her to stay badly). But I'll leave it up to her. It is, afterall her life.. and she should never stop for anyone.

But there's just something about her blog reader's comment that I couldn't really (fully) agree on. The Advise is to go for it and the statement reads-

'To go out and fight while you're still young'

And thats bcoz 50% increment is no doubt, a big lump sum. Who the fuck can resist such temptation the very first time you heard it?

Sure, it sounds logical that you should give in your best shot while you're young, up and running and what-not. Thats the best asset and attribute a young person can get - being energetic and always in the run to grab the best cheese in town.

HOWEVER, 'To go out and fight' doesn't mean you have to risk your life or sacrifice your time to reach your goal. Aren't you out and fighting in your current job then? Dare you say, thats not fighting? Dare you say those who're working a 9-6 job is not giving in their life and their fullest to please every single dumbass client/customers and try every possible way to polish their superior's shoe while striving to reach for their goal?

Some might say, "I know its tough and I'd work like a dog... But I don't have a choice. Its a good offer. I need the money". Oh so you need money, but you'd rather work till your organs felt apart and finally claim for medical expenses from the rich company who can throw you with lots of big bucks? Get real. EVERYTHING comes in 2 options. Its just about choosing the wise one. Don't give me stupid reason like 'I don't have a choice' and sounded like you'd die immediately if you don't take upon the challenge and so-called 'go out and fight' when in actual fact it means 'suicide'.

And some even said 'fuck the stress'. Yaa.. Yaa.. of course. Anyone with high EQ can fuck the stress alright. You can fuck your managers, supervisors and colleagues around up and down anyway you like it. But please, dear inconsiderate people... before you throw in any advice to other people, bear in mind that stress level differs from job to job. And just because you can cope with it in your job doesn't mean others can too in their job. And if you're not in the design field, it'd be even harder for you to imagine what STRESS really means. Saying things like that only makes you look selfish as you stand only in your own shoes without giving the person who needs help with a bigger picture of what he/she really needs to know.

Throwing aside the 'money' issue and 'stress' issue,

Sometimes, I just don't understand how people think (by the way, This is purely personal thoughts) - Waddya mean 'go out and fight while YOU ARE STILL YOUNG'? Like hullo? How much more old-fashioned can you get? So while you are still young, it means you should neglect every single recreational thing in life and focuses ONLY on your job? Oops sorry, I mean MAINLY on your job? So its really SO important that you think when you reach your 40s or 50s when its time to retire, you can enjoy life and catch back your life as a 20s?

No way my friend! You're only young once. You miss it now, you're not gonna catch it back 10 years down the road... 5 years even! Put this in mind : When you're old, remember NO one single healthcare or beauty product in the world can turn you back to the time when you're still called 'young' , and by that time, dont even bother saying you regret not doing this and that when you're 'young' - simply because you wanna 'go out and fight while you're still young'.

Unfuck the world! :)
