"Never tell your problems to anyone,
20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them."
Since u see me as nothing more than a materialistic airhead...take this quote from leechie:
"i would rather cry in a sports car than expose my face to the smoke n dust on a motorcycle!"

"[I would rather LAUGH in a sports car than cry in a sports car]
We always have choice(s), but every choice has a PRICE to pay.
Some fren say I am "emotional", I struggle, embrace & I CHANGE (ABANDON negative emotions).
Some fren say I am "stubbon" , I struggle, embrace & I CHANGE (ADOPT positive persistence).
I am more "materialistic" & "realistic" now too.
I want to be rich so I can help guide the poor, build schools in rural countries & animal homes.
My "methods" change, but my VALUES remain.
Stay STRONG in a difficult world. Be not afraid to pursue what u TRULY want, not what the world think u should want.
If riding in a BMW makes u HAPPY, go ahead, but do NOT cry in a BMW, prove to me that you can SMILE in a BMW (because u have EARN it, through your hard work & sheer determination) and I gladly JOIN you & SUPPORT you towards this dream.
In 2010, I realised that people only care if THEY have BMW, nice bank account or condo, they don't CARE if U do. In short, people only care about themselves.
Thus if u let me choose "FACE" (pride, ego) or "HAPPINESS", I choose happiness anytime because face is fake. Yet I am willing to sacrifice happiness (short term pleasure) for greater happiness (peace of mind & aspiration)."
My response to Collin's posting:
"being poor doesnt make most ppl happy...i know i wont! being rich may not make me happy...but i would rather have a rich man's prob rather than a poor man's prob! a celebrity once said...probs which can b solved by money r not probs at all! of course the ideal situation would b to b rich n happy...but i would rather b at least rich...i'm a shallow n materialistic leech who would rather cry in a sportscar than expose my face to the smoke n dust on a motorcycle! call me pathetic...but i'm only being honest!"
As Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, says: "People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life."
"There's nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility is being superior to your former self" ~ Hemingway
"Do you jump out of bed every morning, excited to get to work?To be the best in what you do, you have to love what you do. Your work must be be your play. When you truly love what you do, you are automatically motivated. There is no need to discipline yourself to get things done and you never feel lazy doing it. That has been my little secret. I love what I do so much that I miss going to the office during the holidays dread long weekends. You you have not found what you love to do yet, keep looking! Don't settle for a life of mediocrity. Don't spend your precious days living someone else's dream. That's how you win the game of life!" ~ Adam Khoo
"It's better to be unique than the best. Being the best is great, you’re the number one. Being unique is greater, you’re the only one."
Thank goodness i'm the one n only leechie ;p
"Don't do something permanently stupid just because you're temporarily upset"
This is life!!!
What r we chasing after in this life? wealth? happiness? peace of mind? freedom of expression?
