Back to Reality

Remember when you were in uni/ high school and you were thinking you're hot shit and that you can do anything you want?

I do.

Nowadays I don't though. I realise that I'm a number in society, and this society is looking for workers so that it can extract as much value as it can from it and then discard them. Looking for new workers to extract value from. People don't really care about other people, its about what's in it for me first. And if I have left over, maybe I'd consider you. I think successful people all adopt this mindset. The more philantropic ones give what they can spare, but at the end of the day, its me first, the rest of the world later.

Sounds pessimistic yeah? Or, maybe its just the way it is and we (I) just need to get off my high horse and play the game. Be plastic and fake if it gets me what I want. Pretend that I am too busy to help cos its just too inconvenient. Say No more! Work smart, not smart. Relax lah, no
need to stress so much.

This is the real world and to do well, one has to play by the real world rules.

hmmm....
