Most of us have always have the thought that the working world was a greener pasture while in school dealing with neverending stress. However, after my few months of temp working stint, I just have to tell secondary school kids when i hear them complaining about sch and sayign t hat they would rather work that the working world isn’t as great as what we always have envisioned. YES to income coming in and we are given the freedom to spend what we want.BUT NO more slacking times during lectures. and just hanging around doing nothing and sleeping during classes. we cannot do those while working. and yes, many times i just struggle to keep my eyes open while staring at the computer screen at work.

But I guess, the whole debate comes down to exams and homework, project deadlines and trying to get our grades up. Depending on each individual jobscope and responsibilities, it’s almost like schwork vs work and grades vs work performance or even report book vs rise in salary, promotion etcetc. Especially when u are part of the top management or directors office role.


So which one do u prefer? For now, sch is the choice for me. Almost 9 months ago, it was definitely work. Cos exams were totally a pain in all our asses. Hahaha.





Anyway, I was reading my sis’s ODJ (Our daily journey with God) and I just wanted to share this reading which I felt was rather relevant.

Taken from book of Ecclesiastes 12


“3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
One day their legs will start to tremble, their shoulders will stoop, their teeth will stop grinding and their eyes will see dimly.

4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low
One day, their energy level will wane.We will no longer see the familiar bounce in their steps and the gusto with which they undertook a task.

Opportunities to honor our parents are for a limited time only. If your parents are still living, spend time with them, treasure them and honor them today.

When i said it was relevant, it was mainly because i feel that most of us are spending time with friends as compared to our parents. When considering nights-out with friends, maybe we should consider including nights-in( if there is such a word) or rather just be home more often for dinners. some personal opinions here.


CIAO!
