Out of Nothing-ness

What do you want?

This is the question posed to me a lot recently. What is it that i want so that i will retain in the company?

i honestly don't know the answer myself. i just feel like it's my exit point, i feel like doing something new, i feel like making a big change in my life.....so i want to do them all.

What is it that i want to achieve? i don't know that either, in a way i am practically senseless on where i'm heading to, but i one lucky son of a gun. So far life has been really good to me, and decisions i've made never failed me yet. If it ain't luck, then most probably i'm making all the correct decisions, and i am heading to where i am supposed to head to in life.

i've always believed that i'm the master of my own fate. i decide who i want to be, how i want it to be and where i want to go. All this isn't written, it's not fated, it's not destined. It's the results of a decision i make today.

What i want? Still can't answer that, but i sure do know what i don't want.

i don't want to end up sleeping on the street. That is why i am earning as much as i can while i'm young, and managing my finances carefully. You know the wise people says, A fool and his money will soon part.

i don't want to grow old alone. That is why i looked and found someone i can live with, spend my life with, and grow old with.

i don't want to fall sick but cannot afford medical treatment. That is why i have insurance, and that is why i take care of myself well before i have a chance to fall sick.

i don't want to worry about money when the company is downsizing, and i'm in the list of possible candidates for retrenchment. This is where financial independence comes in.

Most importantly, i don't want my family to live a dreadful life. i don't want my wife to worry about paying the monthly bills too much, don't want to be not able to afford good education for my children, don't want to grow old but have to rely on EPF to survive.

All i can do now is to earn as much as i can as fast as i can while i'm still young, learn how to make my money work for me, and hope everything will turn out fine.
