Something to share.. - Brought to you by this month's Asia's Re@ders Digest.
Does money really buy you happiness?
No. Because happiness isn't for sale. Many people get tripped up by this one, amassing wealth only to find themselves cycling into a bottomless pit of unsatisfieable yearning. Turns out, joy and misery are not that far apart when it comes to very big wads of cash. Consider the case of a Kentucky couple who won 34 million in 2000. Thrilled to be released from the demands of their boring day job, they frittered their fortune away on fancy cars, mansions, all the usual stuff- losing everything that mattered in the process. They divorced, he died of an alcohol-related illness, and she died alone in her housejust five years after cashing the winning ticket.
When it comes to happiness, only people you love, and who loves you, can bring it.
Do you HAVE to love your job?
No. Love your children, your spouse, your parents and your country. Love your dog, your neighbour and God. Loving is too important an emotion to attach to the way you make a living. But its OK to strive for satisfaction. According to a recent Harris Poll, across America, 59% of workers say that they are extremely, somewhat or slightly satisfied with thier jobs, but a depressing 33% feel as if they've reached a career dead end. If you're among the latter and thinking about a new job, consider the fact that employees in small firms said they felt more engaged in their work that thier corporate counterparts did.
what i always heard is love your job, not the company you're working for. how wrong i was! it's so true, you gotta love your God, children, spouse and parents. sometimes we were so into what we're doing that we forget to pause and think wisely.

Thank god u have update ur blog, everyday asyik pop up PIL vs MOI house.. hehehe
i think money does bring happiness. But we also need love at the same time.
But love without money, how to survive, lama-lama susah jugak. Reality sucks, we need money to survive in this world, how much tuu subjective, semua depend on life style masing masing
hot mama, kengkonon mental blocked la..hehe sebab lama sgt tak blog, dunno what to write :P
to me money is a necessity but not the ultimate factor that brings us happiness. yes, part love & money to bring happiness tu kalau ade it's a BONUS la kan? btw i aprticularly love the 2nd quotation. cos i was put to believe that you gotta love your job (so that you enjoy doing it & not having too much pressure cos you do it with passion)
