Death is always feared by everyone… but for me, death is a very normal thing. Although I have not to face any "near death" experience, I have the feeling of readily to face death anytime in my heart since I was in Form 6. I have seen and read about people getting killed in accidents, murdered, sicknesses and etc etc. From there, I have already built up the readiness to face death anytime.

 

A lot of people do not like to discuss the topic openly as it could be a bad omen especially for the Chinese. "Choy! Choy! Choy! Dai gut lai see"

("Touch wood!" in Cantonese). I have tried to discuss the topic with a few close friends of mine but they’ll comment that I’m too negative thinking this could be a bad sign. Always advising me to think positively.

 

BUT may I ask, if I think positive, do I still have to die one day? – YES! If I am to keep on thinking about death, will I die immediately? – NO!

To me, death is nothing but a destination. We live to die. Whatever we do now, will bring us to death one day. Which means, if we are rich, we will die… one day. Even if we’re poor, we will die… one day!  The difference is, the different kind of ceremony that the family of the dead will prepare for him/her.

 

In a nutshell, death is a destination and life is a journey. We live with a purpose. And we die with a purpose too! That’s why, life is important but fragile. Death will come in which ever way you try to avoid if the time comes. Therefore, I hope that everyone can live life with a purpose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To me, money is the most important substance of life. With money, one can have a very wonderful life. One can get whatever he/she likes. One can provide a great life for his/her family. Without it, one can suffer like hell. That is why people kill themselves! Pressure. Stress. How to cope with all this?!

In this era, there is no way one can live without money. Even a plate of economic rice is not that economical nowadays! There are a lot of things in life which are unexpected. With all these unexpected situations coming up, one might not have the ability to cope with what’s happening out of a sudden… financially. Even if one has already prepared himself/herself, the unexpected will always come out of a sudden.

I hate being trapped in this kind of situation. It is too hard to accept. It is too hard to strengthen my financial status now. How can I build up my financial status now? I have friends involving themselves in direct selling, multi-level marketing, insurance and investment. These are the few choices out of so many choices in the world to build up a basic financial foundation. For me, I have yet to get involved in one. I have been trying to getting involved in multi-level marketing but it is not as easy as they claimed. It will always come back to direct selling even if we knew it is not as similar as it seemed to be. But I doubt it.

What will I be in one year time? In five years time? In three years time? I am really in a very hard situation. I have a family, a future wife and myself to choose. Which one is my priority? I felt like bursting out sometimes. I don’t know how to cope with this stress now.
