Do you have dreams?
When you were 5, what are your dreams?
When you were 10, what are your dreams?
When you are 20, what would be your dreams?
When you are forty, what dreams would you have left?

People shrink their dreams to meet reality.
So do I.
I don't have a strong dream.
When I was 10, I dreamt of being a marine biologist.
But my mum said, you will not have rice to eat.
When I was 14, I dreamt of being a Interpol investigator/FBI.
But my grades told me, you are not observant enough.
When I was 16, I dreamt of being a physiotherapist.
But my parents said, please don't waste your time.
When I was 18, my dream was to be a construction project manager.
No one opposed to that. But I did recieve opposition when I chosed SDE over FASS.
Now I am 19, what's my dream?
Simple.
To lead a live of freedom.

Financial Freedom
Illness freedom
Freed from family problems
All kinds of freedom

Do you know what's the root cause of all problems?
MONEY

Money can cause all evil. It can break a family apart
It can cause people lose their lives cause they couldn't afford their medical expenses
It can cause people to live in poverty

But money dosen't drop from the sky.
I strongly believe in "Nothing ventured, nothing gain"

Without sowing, you won't reap.

有钱可以似鬼推磨
Heard of this before?
I might be money minded
But I know what money can do for all of us
Who dosen't like money?
You need money to realise your dreams no matter how small it is.
Your dreams might be just getting a well-paid job. You still need money to get a degree at least.
You need money to support your daily expenses.
Please don't tell me you food and housing dropped from the sky or god gave it to you.
If you are a filial child
You need money to support your parents such that they can retire and enjoy life instead of bringing back money to feed you and in return you complained that they don't care about you.

Something I have come across towards the end of last year might change me into someone you have never known, but I did not and will not regret.

Someone told me this today.
"If you did not make a concious decision to live a life of greatness, you have made the decision to be poor"
