Idolism
Hmm..spoke with my idol juz a few days ago..haha!! ya my idol is my dad..he is getting older and older as days pass..hopefully he will not think that he is still that commando that he used to be..so that he will exercise more..i mean..he is still much fitter than your dad man..!! yar..yours..!! ?..(my dad does running 3 times a week and swim 2 a week also got high cholesterol lor)..but I mean..u cant take for granted right..get them to do check up at least 2 times a year man..full body check..!! (this type of money cannot save one..)..yup! ok anyway..was telling my dad that I wanna study part time uni rather than full time..than he was like y…?so I told him abt the opportunity cost thing..earning experience and studying at the same time and blar blar..than he said this.. ”he is the one not becuz he can do things..but becuz he can get things done..” this sentence struck me immediately..i mean like every time when I am in the mist..he will juz come by and speak light to me..haha!! he said this..when u are studying full time in the university..u get close relation with your uni frenz..u get the bonding that couldn’t be bought with money..!! he said..u know y rich people get richer and poor gets poorer?..simply becuz rich people know the rich people who are capable..and these rich people help one another to get richer..whereas poor people cant get out of the poverty cycle of getting poorer..a business man..(I forgot his name..) said this “ your success comes very much..80 % from your surrounding frenz..20 % from opportunity..” and it differs only 20 %..imagine having seniors and juniors undergrad as your frenz..and all going out into the society holding all the major post in the work force..altogether capable..making our way up the success ladder..haha!! all the while I hav been thinking that the cert is juz a paper..hmm..but u guyz out there..if u are as smart and as far sighted as my dad..probably u realize that the paper is impt..but the contacts is yet more impt..
