As I get older...
I realized that the gap between myself and others and getting bigger.
Especially more so between students and people already making money
It is the scariest thing. We are no longer defined by how much we do well in our school.
But we are defined by everything. Salary, House, Car, Family and etc.
As a person from a lower income family and lower achiever end of the spectrum...
It made me sad.
For money, I thought I would gladly sell tobacco.
I would gladly endorse it.
At the same time I hated myself for thinking that.
With the article about tobacco company and their lost morals
I do realize that for a little profit, I would gladly do things immoral
Maybe I'll get fistful more of something.
Maybe I'll pretend not to notice when cashier gives me little more changes
Maybe I won't argue with banks, if they accidently put money in my account....
Just as in elementary school I told teacher that I didn't deserve the mark I got (it was a math test and I realized that I had few wrong answers)
but didn't argue back in university of a mark that I got that I didn't think I deserved.
My moral standard totally depended on whether or nor I could indulge myself to that
To indulge myself to justice so I beleive
To indulge myself to morality that I believe.
I need luxury to do that.
That's why I think my dream of want to be a professional has become little distorted as I got older.
about World's happiest countries:
•Happier countries tend to be richer ones. But more important for happiness than income are social factors like the strength of social support, the absence of corruption and the degree of personal freedom.
•Unemployment causes as much unhappiness as bereavement or separation. At work, job security and good relationships do more for job satisfaction than high pay and convenient hours.
•Behaving well makes people happier.
•Mental health is the biggest single factor affecting happiness in any country. Yet only a quarter of mentally ill people get treatment for their condition in advanced countries and fewer still in poorer countries.
•Stable family life and enduring marriages are important for the happiness of parents and children.
•In advanced countries, women are happier than men, while the position in poorer countries is mixed.
•Happiness is lowest in middle age.
I want a career where it will allow me to develop as a better person everyday
I want a career where I learn something everyday
I want a career that I won't be ashamed to
Most of all.
I want a career that allows me a luxury... sort of layback attitudes that rich has.
Luxury to live my life as I believe, as myself.
Living with justice and morality.
Luxury to be able to afford justice.
