Many years ago, these were the last words to me from a corporate "hotshot" when I left his company.
"Enjoy your life". That fellow was (and probably still is) a farker, but that was the best advice anyone has ever given me.
Note that it's "enjoy your life" and not "enjoy life". By all means, be the best that u can be and achieve whatever u can, but there's no point comparing with everyone u know or meet, whether you or he is enjoying life more. All u need to do is enjoy YOUR life.
It's great if you can make loads of money, have a kind and sexy chiobu as your life partner, or do great things for your fellow man. But if u can't, just do the best for yourself, and don't get into all sorts of entanglements trying, financial, romantic or otherwise. Be neither a conman nor a carrothead.
The following is a list of things I enjoy. Not exhaustive but inclusive of:
-- watching football (not playing)
-- watching chiobus (not playing) :o
-- listening to music (nothing from 2000 onwards)
-- taking long walks (both in SG and other countries)
-- monitoring the markets (stock, super and wet)
-- having a great meal (doesn't have to be expensive)
-- logging on to SBF (and reading the pearls of wisdom here)
Life may not be short, but it can be unpredictable.
As long as u don't harm others and carry out your basic responsibilities in life, u should be entitled to enjoy your life while u can. :p
