Very philosophical. If you have $999,999 and I give u $1, you become a millionaire. Every dollar counts.

My very philosophical staff made tat statement. Had a very interesting chat with him for 1.5h this morning. I do understand tat everyone has their own views abt life but I realli hav to take my hats off to salute him...

For 20yrs, the wife din not talk to him n they slp in separate room. He juz take it silently. He did not grumble nor blame the wife. He onli blames himself for not being some successful man who earns a lot n can let the wife live in comfort. If she nags or gumble he juz listen n not argue. It his fault, he says. He dines alone at him as the wife will leave e table whenever he sits done to dine tgt with her n the children. So he let them eat first n he eats the leftovers n clear the dishes. Sometimes he tears while eating. Sad. Working hard his whole life to support his wife n children. Supporting them thr education w/o asking anything in return. Sending them overseas to study. Saving every single cent, limting himself to onli $2.50 per meal during lunch. Sometimes I see liao oso feel the heartache :(

If the boss give unreasonable instructions or scold him for his work, he juz blame it on the fact he was unable to climb to above his level to be the one giving him instructions. If u r not up there den u LL lo.

He encouraged me to leave here. 5 yrs le. Promising me promotion yr after yr but I dun see it coming. He says here is not a place to stay on. Leave while u r still young. I do hav to agree wif him the ppl here are great but it's not a pl for career advancement. Promotion is on based on 'liking' not on capabilities. Our team has the lowest o/s cases n highest recovery rate but in time of apprasial, we were all ranked at the bottom. Sigh. Sad. Cheng sim. Voicing out and wanting justice, onli put me at risk of having a lower ranking then b4. Wat for?

Time to look for greener pasture.... Any jobs to intro?
