lessons to be learned

i have made my client so happy to day. his investment has doubled. u see, ppl with money always get more. while ppl like me, always 'cukup2 makan'. haha. but that's the way it goes. i'm not too poor and yet, not too rich either. i'm happy hubby supports me and my little girl well. i do agree with the education ministry now that they want to review the education system so as not to be so exam-oriented. kids nowadays are spoilt. they expect parents to support them in everything they do be it financially, academically or materially. after u're done with ur studies, u're supposed to find work and that's when u should repay whatever ur parents have done for u. it's simple logic. u shouldnt burden ur parents anymore. doesnt matter if u give them rm50.00 per month. as long as u give, no parents in the right sound of mind would complain. no excuses should be given shall u not want to give any financial assistance to ur parents. they were once less privileged than us when they brought us up. still they survived so why cant we? coz we keep coming up with excuses. house rental too high lah, hafta pay for house and car instalment lah, food very expensive lah, etc, etc. it's true the cost of living is very high but u have a choice! if u know u dont earn much, dont buy a car. u can always take public transportation or car-pool with ur friends. dont give stupid excuses like 'bus-stop too far' or ' no lrt station nearby'. IF THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY. even if u cant give money to ur parents, u can always run errands for them. drive them to the market or accompany them when they need to go to the bank or juz do anything for them when they need u. ppl tend to give excuses when parents need them. the most famous one is probably 'i hafta work today'. and parents would normally be fine with the answer. i'm sick of ppl who only think of themselves.
when u're married, the responsibility is even bigger. if u cant take it, dont get married in the first place. there's no such thing as free lunch. some are juz plain lucky to be able to stay with their parents or in-laws. food is free, no house rental imposed and still, some can be ignorant. for those who have kids, they expect parents / in-laws to take care of their kids when they're off to work. and when they come back from work, they're too tired to do anything and again, the parents come into the picture. no need to pay any fees as u do when u send them to a nursery. and what's amazing is that with all these so-called facilities and priveleges, some STILL take advantage of the kindness given by parents / in-laws. frankly speaking, i really, really despise these type of ppl. i say it's time to remove the crutches. ppl should learn how to overcome the challenges in life on their own and take it as part and parcel of growing up. it makes u appreciate what u have and what u dont have.
