Furthermore, my work is 'machine-dependent' and highly specific, which limits my future choice of employment. I also want to enjoy life, but can't do so yet...khengsionghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388168568808671784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-48683529282483687612007-09-17T11:35:00.000+08:002007-09-17T11:35:00.000+08:00Yeah I agree with you.

I think personally I can afford not to work for a time being with my savings and living in the comfort of my family (but that will be my last, last, last resort). However, I believe with my knowledge, adaptability & capabilities, there are other options than my current job. People can take everything away from you, but not your knowledge, dignity & pride (that's my call).<BR/><BR/>I wanna enjoy life, I wont be like my ancestors. I am not ambitious, but I dun wanna rely on others. I want to have a simple, happy life....Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588160067116711965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-70525234653694518582007-09-14T16:21:00.000+08:002007-09-14T16:21:00.000+08:00princess,Perhaps you are right.

They opened their shops 364 days a year - only closed on Chinese New Year.<BR/><BR/>But then, we now enter an era when there is no job security. (Still remember <A HREF="http://2point8.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-we-should-go-home-on-time.html" REL="nofollow">Narayana Murthy's advice</A>?)

However speaking of it, we have enter another zone which is different. As for myself, living in my own means, being independent & being happy means the most to me. I am pretty simple, but pretty happy. <BR/><BR/>That's all that matters right?Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588160067116711965noreply@blogger.com
