I had finally began my study leave. Ironical for someone like me to have been looking forward towards it when my days in Poly were infamous for the high rate of absence from my class. People do grow old and have a shift in their mentality. I believe that it is for the better though at times minds get corrupted by the temptation of money and power. Things that are the barometer of happiness for many living on this lovely planet.
My barometer of happiness had been and always will be in giving help and joy to people around me. The ironic part of these is that money plays a part in it. A good example will be the countless stream of elderly people peddling tissue papers or collecting cans. We can either buy their wares from them or send them to an elderly home but all these required something called money.
Is money the root of all evils or the antidote for all evils? I am still figuring this out as I ages but I do hope that my life will not be just about chasing the next dollar or the next higher position in the corporate world. Part of me think that by learning more about economics and finance I might be able to contribute to a better world. Another part of me is saying that the honest truth of me learning this is simply that Banking is the sector that gives the highest pay cheque.
Like it or not but those idiots at Wall Street that had plunged the world into one of the deepest recession in the world are still going to get a much higher pay than most of the average S'poreans. Ain't Economists people who understand the law of economics and help the world enjoy stable growth? Or had they been corrupted by the promise of easy cash which they can gain with their knowledge?
I think I think too much at times. The top priority now is to sort my mind out and be ready for the exams. For people who long for a satisfactory degree in any business modules, look no further than UOL. You will be in for the ride of your life. This is something that I can be DAMN sure of. Ha.

You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
