*SICK* princess
hello!
I'm sick. I've been coughing for the past few days. Sighs! I know that I SHOULD NOT snack on chocolates and chips but I'm HUNGRY all the time. I think I need to get out more often. Nagging's the order of the day around here. It is not much different if I were to get out. I just watched the Princess Diaries Movie. YAY! I am such a princess. HAHA! My dream is always to be a princess. A lofty dream but a dream that keeps me alive and real. I am a princess in my own right. I just lack a tiara and an official title. I believe that being a princess is all about being true to oneself and having the grace as well as poise to do so.
What's with getting a degree, anyway? SERIOUSLY. Besides getting a well-paying job and a clever husband, I don't see the value of that particular certificate. Well, I am seriously grousing about the ever-present need to self-improve yourself through education in Singapore. WHY? It's because EDUCATION = MONEY = HAPPINESS.
Let me justify the above deduction.
One needs to be educated to secure a job that pays well in Singapore where human resource is ABUNDANT. Note that the abundance of human beings in a small island means that the talented, educated and unique individuals are the ones that STAND OUT.
One needs money to basically operate his daily needs. This is because the world is getting too globalised and technology-dependent. A poor man has to struggle with maintaining the utility bills (if he has a lodging) , his food and drink and to maintain a secure income. It would be even worse if he has to maintain a family. A beggar may be happy to sleep in the streets but I don't think he is the least bit happy about his situation. All the "free" things in the world have to be paid with money. Water, natural produce and even fresh air are no longer FREE.
Happiness is indeed relative. One can be happy helping others. That does not need money. Wait a minute. It does. Volunteering may be a selfless and satisfying venture. But, one needs to have money to support the transport fees needed to travel to the place that needs volunteer help. Even online volunteers need to sign up for internet subscription to actively volunteer via the Web.
I heard that any job advertisement requiring a degree actually prioritize applicants with an honours degree or better. Obviously, I would do the same if I were the employer. Still, consider if one can be happy after achieving the degree for a job to later pursue happiness.
Alright. I am seriously whining now. I cannot imagine why there can be people who are so proud to have studied hard and prove themselves clever in the academic area. Can't there be other ways of measuring cleverness in a person? Am I stupid or less able if I am unable to enter into a university?
If only miracles exist. If only I knew.
