| There is a good saying in Chinese : feel satisfied , feel happy! The core is it is hard to feel satisfied in this morden world, isn´t it? My mother wanted me to give good education to my kid for being successful in the future, and I asked her why the taxi drivers have to be somebody else´s kids? I feel sorry for disappointing her, however, I know life in between unrealistic wishes and realities is a tough one, though. In this case, for most of parents, it is setting wrong targets on wrong qualifications. The result ends up wasting time, money and more importantly a unhappy kid. The recent statistics shows in Germany there are 6 million people living in extreme poverty out of the 82 million population. These people have no job, not enough to eat and often can only get an offer of 1 EURO per working hour, yes just ONE Euro for one hour work. Often I see the 7-11 in Taiwan is looking for part time student paying 80 NT$ per hour, which is nearly TWO Euro. Besides that there are another 2.5 million kids in Germany have not enough to eat! This kind of poverty was seen last time only since in 1937 in Germany , people says. Germany is poor nation? A nation produces Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi.......? Yes and NO, depending on how we look at the different facets of things. In this case, if you can give enough for your kids to eat you are doing better than 6 million Germans. How to feel satisfied in life? Again , it mainly depends who we are comparing with or to. By human nature we like to compare to the people who is richer, healthier, more beautiful, better job, higher income, more power....... But why not turning our head looking at the other side , where many people need our kind attention also. This is the only way to be happy though! 99% of people is hard to be happy , if we only talking and thinking about that top 1% (in USA, who owns 30% of assests) |
