The Rat Race Really SUCKS!
The Rat Race really sucks. Its sapping all my energy and zest for life. I am sooooooo tired from working late everyday, including weekends and having no life.
Someone asked me the other day, "Money is never enough. But how much clothes, shoes, holidays, houses etc do you think a person will need in a lifetime?" That was something that really got me thinking. My answer, well, I have my answers but I am a little too busy now to write about it. Shall let you all know some other time. In the mean time, let me know what do the rest of you think.

i suppose the fact is we can't and don't always have everything we want... for some that'll always include 'money'... for others... even money cannot buy time.
for me, i know that even if i have to work long erratic hours as an academic/a researcher (if i happen to stay on this crazy path) and earn peanuts from it all compared to others, i hope i'll find home someday... and not be a nomad all my life.

It's true, money isn't everything. Buying things cheers us up temporarily. We can live on very little actually, but we live in a consumer culture.
