GRaduAtion is about...

experiencing...

its when you finally cast away all the theories in the virtual study life and start learning the hard facts of the society. Everything that its so "By Right" in the books begans to manifest themselves into the "By Left" in life. Those who can filter fast to the left lane wins it all....

In laymen's terms, I think being streetsmart is just as important as being studysmart..streetsmart is about being resourceful. sometimes i worry whether i will be retrenched when i am 40.. so what i think i can do is to always keep up with the society by either learning, re-learning..that s the only way to keep one competitive.


RISKING

am i not right by saying graduation is the starting point of risk management. Some of us will choose the orthodox routes of accepting jobs whenever it comes since we were taught somewhere in life that low risks yield low returns..probably the risk-averse graduates fall into this venn diagram. Some do it the buffet way..take a lot then choose what to eat and throw away those that you dun like.. Some do it the sniper way..1 shot 1 kill.. By any means, i must say that we mustnt envy those who earn more..probably they ve gone through more or risked more in their journeys. Earn a comfortable sum to finance a comfortable living then reserve comfortable amount of time for rest and family....tts the ultimate outcome of life, ain't it...

eNjoying....

Come to think of it...which juncture of our life do we enjoy the most? I guess its either before 3 years old and after 62 in SIngapore context. 3-25 is all about studying;25-61 is all about working and saving for the rainy days. After 62, probably you can take a few grand every year to go for a trip..by then...might be too feeble to sky dive or do a bungee... Yes...so i think enjoying life should be right after we get a stable paycheck...

buy a car - hatchback for me definitely!

buy a hse- a comfortable 5-room in suburban regions. I am the peculiar minority who dreads urban living...claustrophobia..

travel around -Europe, Maldives n etc..

finance hobby - golf? photography?

there are so much money can does...and conversely, so much that it cant.. kinship, genuine frenship...much to say, its a balance between these 2 but nv allow money to come in between the latter. Its something i always remind myself about...
