Eventually, there are bound to be similar or almost similar<br /><br />My take is that one should continue to unleash the thinking power and be forthcoming in expressing as many ideas as possible. Who knows there will be marvellous/autheutic ideas generated along the way.<br /><br />BenWTKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459028978258841179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-2638010423170882372017-09-24T23:13:44.157+08:002017-09-24T23:13:44.157+08:00Ben,

When it comes to debts, we don't see eye to eye.<br /><br />Do speak your mind; just don't hit my face! I still need it to seduce jie jie mei mei OK?<br /><br /><br />I'm a little uncomfortable when readers behave like they are my no.1 fan... Agreeing and following whatever I say...<br /><br />I know some other bloggers like that. They want to be the "shepherd" with the most number of followers. The bigger the number, the more we can charge for sponsored posts and speaking engagements mah!<br /><br />I just want scintillating conversations. Low brow talk "male-chicken" sessions also can! <br /><br />Just as long its fun! And not to be taken too seriously ;)<br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-55003032789904946692017-09-24T20:45:43.094+08:002017-09-24T20:45:43.094+08:00Haha.

If we realise we are driven by fear - fear of punishment, fear of losing out/losing face, etc then we mustn't succumb. I have declined promotion twice before. Once when I was in the private sector and another when I was working in the same job as you. My decision to say 'no' was also driven by fear - fear of losing freedom. I know once I succumb to my pride, I can't get rid of the shackles to live a free spirited life. :)<br /><br />If an opportunity comes, go grab it if it is for the money. Take it as a deal - organisation pay you for your time and expertise. Just gotto decide if the money is worth whatever extra you are expected to throw in.<br /><br />If it is for passion, then money doesn't matter, does it? <br /><br />If it is for pride, I have nothing to say. LOL.<br /><br />能云淡风轻,繁华落尽,自由自在心中。:)EYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808509235536260830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-36644305354490385312017-09-24T12:09:46.670+08:002017-09-24T12:09:46.670+08:00SMOL,

One will be held to ransom by the employer who will start to instill unrealistic KPIs on the individual if he knows of it.<br /><br />I will be super-stressed if I am in such circumstance.<br /><br />Having the "F-U money" with no debt is the peace of mind. There is no worry about the loss of job due to retrenchment or other reason. I believe that some of you might have different opinions on the debt. It is natural. Different individuals are bound to have differentiating views. It will be a dull world if everyone have the same views. In fact, this makes the world more interesting.<br /><br />BenWTKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459028978258841179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-66328640623674960412017-09-23T23:09:27.388+08:002017-09-23T23:09:27.388+08:00Yes, it's all in knowing 丹心所照何人 ;)Yes, it's all in knowing 丹心所照何人 ;)EYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808509235536260830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-54527787116778082092017-09-23T22:54:28.064+08:002017-09-23T22:54:28.064+08:00Endrene,
