I get to see more places and more people than any of my friends that I know. But also, at the same time, I somehow feel that I've been left out in this race. What about you guys? Please do hit the reply button. Let me know. How do you guys feel about it? Especially if you're in your mid 20s, closing in on thirty s or above 30s, especially

If you don't want to pursue a professional career, you want to be self employed with an artist, you're an actor, you want to be something very unorthodox, whatever do you live your life? Don't try to please other people and certainly don't do it because you feel you're competing against your friends. My brother was always very competitive and he always wanted to achieve things before or by the time my father had done it

Has this journey helped you grow, evolved as a person in various ways, not just financially, but in terms of perhaps better understanding people around you or being able to contribute to the lives of other people? Because I think the barometer for success should not necessarily mean only financial, monetary success. Right? Of course it is definitely important. But I think it is also the people in your life, your circle, how much you're able to contribute to society at large, the goodwill that you have

When I was younger, I probably did compare myself with other people and get quite jealous and wish my life was at a certain stage, that other people's lives are out wondering, why am I not as successful, whatever that means, as my friends, my other peers, other people in my family? But like you, I've got to a point in my life where I realize it doesn't matter. Am I happy? Am I happy? I'm not rich. Far off from it

We do try, we make an endeavor, but I think it is what we pursue, the kind of activities that we want to fill up our life with that bring us joy that matter. At the end of the day, of course, bank balances is trouble day in, day out. Yeah. But I think the larger picture is about contentment. Yeah. So thanks
