The mentality is that if you say I just wanna earn a decent salary and have time to enjoy myself,people will say you're a slacker...
def nothing wrong being a slacker... y join the rat race n kill ur brain cells when u can enjoy life... be urself... but make sure u get a gf who share your views too else wun hv gd ending..

Not wrong, but not possible. The cost of a government roof over your head already puts you in 30 years debt. If you intend to eat as well, you better work hard.Want a family? Put in your 12 hours a day in the office, keep upgrading your skills and pray you don't get retrenched.

with so called advance technology n the money the world has, actually humans can pretty much have more free time,at most work 3-4hours a day den spend the rest of the day with family or doing what they enjoy(beneficial to all,does not include harming others n self)
but yet none of such a thing is happening,y?cuz ppl are greedy n selfish..
so long as u feel u can earn a decent living with enough to put food on the table for u n ur family n pay off daily expenses, go ahead n slack off all u want..nth wrong with that.after all,not every one is a leader.

my peers and classmates wld rate me lacking in ambition. i don't have their motivation in `making it big'. my last boss actually chided me for not knowing 'how to sell myself at work to move up the ladders' in one of my performance review.
i do admit that some times it gets to you, when you see how well others are doing. "what's wrong with me?", i ask myself sometimes.
but often, when i look at what i DO have, which is above what many average singaporeans have, i am thankful; especially my understanding better half and my kiddos. they are the reasons why i wake up everyday and drag my butt to work.
