Our lives are dictated by the choices and decisions we make. Every choice, small or big, we make will have repercussions, whether now or in the future. That is why it is important to isolate each and every moment we live in and see each moment for what it really is, that moment. We must detach any emotions or feelings we might have for that moment and look at it for that moment itself and see it without bias. It sounds easier than it seems but by doing this, we make a choice based on that moment itself without bias and by doing so, the ultimate best end result can be achieved. We achieve self-realisation. For further thoughts, go watch the movie, The Drummer.
On another note of making choices, not doing anything is also making a choice. You have made a choice not to do anything. Hence not doing anything about your current situation does not mean you're better off. A good illustration would be someone who's contented with his life or just can't be bothered to advance when he/she could be doing something better. Someone who has a reasonable job which allows him/her to work from 9-5 and pays an average salary. He/she on the other hand could go for more training, as it's so thoroughly emphasized by the Singapore government, and advance further in his/her career and take on more responsibilities and achieve something better for himself/herself. There are many cases of people who have just completed secondary education but have went on to take courses to better themselves and hence their respective companies have recognised this initiative to learn and better themselves and promoted them. Ultimately, it's up to YOU. There are both sides of the argument as always but it boils down to one thing.
Hence the CHOICE of doing something about it or not doing anything about it. What do you want out of life ladies and gentlemen?
