for a soccer player, match fitness and normal running is different. of course it might have some link but it really doesnt mean that if u can run 2.4 in 7 mins means that u can last the whole game..

same in life i guess, u get a degree, it doesnt directly means that u will do well in work.

watched a channel U show just now that shows a celebrity going to some ulu island in some ulu country to try to help the very very very poor people there. we were watching the show because we liked the sea and the island and we wished that we could stay on the island too! and i thought that mediacorp was exploiting the poor people by fliming celebrity trying to do charity work but thats another story to tell on another day.

so on a totally related note, sean said something like its the opportunity cost of what u could have done with ur time besides staying on with the company. then i watched this show.. then i was thinking could i have made a difference in other people’s life? like being a volunteer? and of course stop being so pre occupied with earning money for the sake of giving everyone around me a “better” life?

that brings out another point which is i think i am damn too practical. and there cannot be too many this kind of people out there or the economy will collapse. i’m just too focused on paying back the half a million dollars loan that i owe the bank that sometimes i really should sit back, spend the money i have on travelling or donate to charity. u get the gist.

we’ll see we’ll see.. when i am DEBT FREE in a few years time.. we’ll see what i’ll do with the money.. maybe i’ll get myself another 3/4 of a million loan from the bank again? its just a vicious cycle la.
