Have you thought about the future yet?

Recently, I've been gaming so much I don't even feel like writing anymore.

My sister is a woman who desires success. Today, she says she wants to be earning 5 or 6k by the time she is thirty years old. To me, that is already being very successful in your career.
Then I said I'm going to be earning very little in future, going to be a poor man, and I don't mind being poor. My mom retorted by saying that men cannot say that they are poor.

Hmm, I'm just a simple man.

I don't desire much in life, as long as the four basic needs of men are fulfilled: mainly Sex, Food, Water, Shelter. (Well, actually I'm just quoting the words of Mohd the Philosopher)

I can summerise what I (and most people) really want into two main categories:

1) Something to call your own.
2) Something to whack!


Something to call your own

This category is where all the material needs and wants of life fall into place. Things like "I want a bike", "I want to own my own condo", "I want a BMX", "I want a supermodel girlfriend", "I want Vincent Valentine as my slave", etc etc... ...

A person who owns personal and material things under his name, things which he can call HIS OWN, undoubtably will have a greater sense of achivement and self-satisfaction than the people who has lesser, and the more the merrier.

Something to whack!

Well, I know of a friend who took up Muay Thai kickboxing, another who picked up dance in her
early twenties. We all need hobbies. When work is too tough, we just need to vent our stress somewhere. Some go to the gym (to look at beefcakes), some prefer online gaming. Basically, what we need is an activity that is both enjoyable and serves to destress at the same time. Be it physical or mental, as long as it takes us away from the main job at hand, it works.



Basically, what I am trying to say is that the ideal lifestyle for me is a life where I can work hard and play hard at the same time.

And I hope my (would be) carreer is something which I would enjoy and reap benefits for me, not just financially wise.
