My landlady has a part time maid... she comes here and cleans up the whole house when she has an off day from the place she's working... simply means, she's working 7 days a week. and she starts to clean early in the morning and finishes about 6pm. this is also the timing where she works. she's working something like 70 hours a week! coz she needs the money... she has no choice but to work everyday to support her family back in Philippines.
Life is not beyond our expectation
so, i was talking about it with my housemate, an experienced guy. i was telling him how hardworking the maid is. and i'm having only 5-days-a-week job. not to say that i'm not hardworking, but the maid is much more hardworking. He told me that life is full of duties. when u r small, ur duty is supposed to study. and if u dun do ur duty well, u'll suffer in the future.
on the other hand, if u do ur duty well, there's another duty after u finish your studies. u have to work well, look after ur family. then u'll have ur own family and have to look after ur kids too and the cycle continues. though his explanation was short, but it's true... do ur duties well and u'll be satisfied with whatever u r doing now!!
how successful u r is measured based on how satisfied u r; not how much u earn!!!
