Wherever we go, never forget the way behind the feet

Hot 3648 views. 2016-5-13 20:20 | something, everyone, average, suppose, dream

Time does give us the moment to do a lot of things. We focus on what we want and do something what we like. What is more, we mainly spend much time on the work, since we have to work for living which is the basic need that everyone of us have to face.

We dream of making a big fortune or earning enough money so that we should not work hard or just do not have to work any more. Then we can enjoy leisurely life. Such a dream I suppose that almost everyone owns. Yes, me too. As the average man with flesh, I has that one too. While it does not really operate as what we want. Even though, a man has rich possession, he still face many of petty affairs. The only difference is the rich do think over more than those basic necessities than what the poor are considering. Since the former would probably plan about something on investment, self improvement, entertainment of going to some rarely developed and rural interesting areas. While the latter, usually faces difficulty in affording daily needful, such as monthly payment on hire purchase, better promotion and career, etc. 

No one else is as same as each other. We grow in different families and receive different education, and the personal cognition formed from different experience. But we all want to have a better tomorrow. So we have dreams and actions. It seems that most of us are just very ordinary. Right, we are mundane but can choose not to be vulgar. 

An amazing and interesting phenomenon is that we usually involve in many things while it turns out that we are not so efficient. Reveal the cover of the busy-work, we just do something as if we really act at busy work while are just easily to be distracted by other more attractive things. It could simply see many make the plan to study while some hours later the studying plan is put away and some others like shopping or social gathering has intervened in and taken the schedule. Another aspect is that we just work too hard on the thing we want than its initial kind of the meaning on the study. That means though we understand the knowledge, it often leads to an awful consequence because we focus too much energy on the skills and methods more than the process of mastering step by step. The pragmatic English conversation (even in five minutes) would be more efficient than years of theoretic study on the paper about the pronunciation, accent, and other spoken skills. A healthy body could be more practical and beneficial on the basis of regular daily regimen so long as we do not dawdle away the leisure, such as on the long time tv series.

We can live more wonderful and we can own a better style if we try doing something in another angle. A lot of words do not sound louder than the patient practice. That is what we always say “Thousands of miles begins the right first step of the journey.”

Will money solve all our problems?
Will we be happier if we are rich?

These are the questions that always pops up in our minds. Yes, money can solve a lot of our problems, but remember, it won't make you much happier. I have known a lot of rich people in the course of my business and I have seen how they live.

I can tell you that being rich does not mean happiness. Being rich would solve some of your problems but richness would bring you another set of new problems.

Everything is relative, and you are more or less powerless to that. Yes, the first month you drive a new Benz car, or eat in a fancy restaurant, you really enjoy it. But then you sort of get used to it, then you are looking towards the next thing, the next level up. And the problem is that you have reset your expectations, and everything below that level doesn’t get you quite as excited anymore.

If you want to know what it is like when you become rich, all you have to do is to think about all the things money can't buy. Here are some of them;

- Health. Money can't buy good health.
- Money can't buy true love or happiness.
- All the attention from others would be on your money, not you.
- Will it be worth it to invest endless years of work into getting rich?
- By the time you have enough money, you would old and frail.
- What is the use of money when your loved ones are not there?
- Insecurity: Money that came easily would go away easily.
- Money management is full of worry and life won't be so relaxing.
- Life would not have much meaning because you no longer need to
  earn money like everyone else. You would feel unproductive.

However, if you became rich gradually by your working hard and right, then that is your well earned and deserved money. Happiness grows from there.

Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.

Money does mean everything, it does not buy everything we want, while we need that. Being rich does not mean that everything is more better, it only exists in the material status that we might have good living condition. Further more, there are still many things we can not buy with money.

Nice explanation, thanks very much.

Everyday there are many things happen around us, and they influence us. How to keep a good mind to deal with everything ordered and smoothed, that is a problem.

Every time, when I am free, I just spend hours on books, and then go for a walk. Then being home with parents, have a talk with them. That is enough for me, I do not care much of money bothering. I know there is no limitation for pursuing everything we want, while we are people with limited life. So we can just get back and put these messed things away, to have a personal time to relax and think.


As aging, I gradually know the importance of being in a good fitness, without that, I can almost do nothing.

Thanks again, have a good weekend.

In fact, everyone have some sort of trouble or difficulty. In a normal person's life there are more worrisome days than happy days. Everyone will have his chance including you. Keep your spirits high. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.

It costs years to make me behaved and I gradually know how to make my life better. Whenever I am at, I do spend some time to think something and make conclusions. Thus, it help me pave the way to go further.

Parents are the first and best teachers and tutors in their kids' life. Though they passed away, but they do live in your mind who give you support whenever you are at the confusion or stuck in something.

We meet lots of things in life. Money is an important part of life. We do need that, at the same time we also have to figure out what exactly that we should do. Though it is not that easy to know what we really have to do, we just better ourselves to earn a good life.

I recon working is a happy thing as long as you are doing what you love, the worst thing is you have a lot of money  staying at home, the life won’t as good as you imagined if you are doing nothing by watching those money, you may admire someone who have colleagues can talk with.

Investment in housing is a headache thing, if you don’t have a good tenant, that will cause so much trouble and pressure for you. You might not as relaxing as someone who only gets regular salary.

I was very surprised to find the most happy moment in my life was the time when I was a cleaner in Australia, was very struggling about life, but I’ve met so many nice friends who helped me to get through that hard time, and I’ve learnt appreciation, which is an element for happiness.
It is a big subject for happiness, money can help you achieve your dream, but it definitely is not everything.

Making a priority list, it might help you focus on what is most important thing you love to do and achieve your dream.

Money is part of life, we need that. We can live better by arranging life more ordered and organized by our hard work. We can invest to keep appreciation of our asset and meanwhile do some others to make our life more meaningful.

Right, there are many yummy food here. But I am not a foodie and just feel content to have food.

It is a good way to make list and I have that list of everything that I should do. By following it, I can save much time. So then I am free to do some other things.

When you are free, going back the mainland would be good for you to enjoy the nice food.
