Life's a Stage...
It is another Tuesday….It is also after lunch and I’m seriously feeling sleepy…again. The sleeping bug has once again resurfaced and taken over my body…hahaha….I am already babbling nonsense…
Well, it’s been a boring day basically. Nothing much has been done as yet, been trying to read a 266 pages of RFQ from a potential client since yesterday. However I’m still at page 122…I’ve still got 144 pages to go…wish me luck.
Anyway, I’ve also discovered that the road to becoming n consultant is far from being easy. I mean…okay, there’s no short cut to any route of success. I’ll admit that through the course of it all, it is filled with vicious back-stabbing colleagues, demanding bosses, racisms and not forgetting all…the fight up the corporate ladder…
This brings me to a point…How much does climbing up the corporate ladder mean to one? I mean…is it the money? Is it the status? Or simply the satisfaction that you beat all to be on top of the ladder?
Look at my boss for example. She’s obviously rich cos she stays in a big house, the husband is a pilot and she drives a BMW. I don’t know her exact age…but I think she looks good for her age. However, both her and her husband apparently do not have kids. This was a consensus agreement between the couple to not have kids….well…at least that’s the story I heard…
Anyway, my boss never fails to be the first to arrive in the office and potentially the last to leave the office as well. For the past 6 mths, I’ve never seen her come late or even be close to being late…cos if you dun see her by the time you are in the office…it means she’s on leave or at a meeting or something. I mean seriously, she is really what I call a typical workaholic. I once envied her, I mean a woman of her status and her class. It’s like you have loads of money and have no worries in the world…oh well..maybe work…but den again, how often do bosses need to be stressed out and worry about work anyway? All they ever need to do is to dial your extension over the phone, summon you into the office for a briefing and the burden is off their backs immediately u leave through their office door. How nice huh? To be a boss.=D
The truth is, your entire life revolves around work, is that really what life is all about? Money, status and work?
I’ve given some thought about it and I feel the uncertainty to what I am pursuing right now. I too must admit that having power and money is of course an attractive idea, but the truth is, is that really what I want? Or is it some form of conditioned dream that has been so beautifully drawn into our minds since childhood? But let’s take a look at reality, if you can be rich and “powerful”, can u bring all the money and feel the same way when you are lying six feet underground? Something to think about people…..whether u r rich, or u r poor…life’s but a stage. When the curtain closes, your shows over.
So irregardless of your status in life…we all have a common point towards the end of our story…”The End”
A lit teacher once told me during my secondary school years that since life is like a stage performance, we should all make full use of our time on stage and remember that we can always make a difference out of the experience and bring it “back-stage.” This is something more valuable than any riches in the world!
Looking back…I’d never have agreed more to that…we should live life to the fullest! =D
