Why are Asian people good at mathgood, do that first, celebrate and &c :) Study of other's work. parental stick, job carrot, fear and aspiration quantify an emotion? !! I think what...
You work 60-80 hours a week. You commute to work then back home at least 12 hours a week. Your children are not obedient. You make a lot of money yen wise, but your bills and food and living expenses are so high. For your family you put yourself under great stress. Then Karoshi, rest from overwork seems not too far away. You are overworked. Your health deteriorates. Your marriage is on the rocks. Your kids never get to see you.
I am a college student in his last semester. I already have a job lined up for me. I will work 60-70 hours a week. But I am beginning to feel that all my hard work is just for money. I want to do something meaningful. I want to find meaning in my life. I can live without a 100,000 dollar salary. I want to make a difference in the world. I do not want to fall into the trap of Karoshi.
I am beginning to lose interest in my studies. By faith I know all injustices will be righted. But my heart tells me to abandone what I am doing and help the world's hungry and poor, or at least help the people locally near me.
I know you all will say I am a hopeless idealist who does not know how the real world works. I am a Finance and Accounting major, I know money and power rules the world, I know that. But the heart is different from the brain. The heart is compbuttionate, the brain practical and logical.
We all work so hard, spend our entire lifetimes trying to get the most out of life, but have you ever thought of making the most out of other's lives?
