Don't Laugh At Ants When They Looked Far Ahead Of Their Time
Uncle8888 was NOT born as Ant. It was the circumstance and personal encountered with the reality of life that has transformed him into an Ant who looked far ahead of his time and get ready for the reality of life.
No dancing in the Sun!
Long and harsh Winter may come sooner than expected.
Don't envy the Grasshoppers!
Grasshoppers can suffer alone and die alone; but Ants as community cannot drag other innocent members down just because he wants to sing song and merry go round!
The reality of life when AFC 1997/1998 taught his generation the biggest lesson in life and transformation to Ants. Looking around at those folks in his generation, many are Ants!
One Chinese saying: When we don't see coffin with our own eyes; we don't drop our tears!
Seeing with our own eyes is believing!
In 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis (AFC), I have witnessed few colleagues broke down in tears when they were told that they were lay off. Some were so worried about their mortgage payments.

We can see those who regret are likely to be those who didn't expect it coming and haven't adequately plan and prepare for it.
So don't laugh at Ants. When the time arrived; Ants will have the last smile! Life is just like that! Who has the last smile!

Life is fair!
ReplyDeleteThe earlier we see coffin with our own eyes; we may be awaken to realize; plan and prepare for it coming! Sooner or later but it doesn't matter anymore as we are ready to lie in it!
Yes, talk smart, but make sure you are not one when the time come.
ReplyDeletetemperament,
ReplyDeleteI never said I never plan or set goals ;)
They are mere tools like screwdrivers or hammers.
No, I'm not going to exalt tools like they "owned" me.
Grasshopper like me (see? I never pull you in with me) focus on making the right decision and spotting opportunities when they arise.
Once a decision is made, goals and plans flow naturally. What's the big fuss here?
LOL!
I don't for nothing poke fun of ants.
I only poke 50 steps ant making fun of 100 steps ant.
50 steps ant 得了便宜还卖乖。。。
Is SG G an ant or ...?
ReplyDeleteIf not, then we are in deep trouble.
We are dealing in properties in singapore and we ae professional in SG properties, properties for rent, properties for sale, new launch, property investment in singapore and SG properties for rent.
ReplyDeleteAFC is still not so bad bcos the world is less leverage then and most Sg are more conservative n mortgage are way lower than today.
ReplyDeleteI can assure if the next real crisis come, the GFC will be just appetizer. Then due to the 2010-2014 housing boom, we can see that compare to 97, the housing leverage of today is way much more! So when jobs roll n ur debt is huge n if by some silly reason interest rate were to go back to the norm of 4-5%...
It will not be just losing jobs, but losing homes!
I am not pessimistic, but just like u, I like to plan ahead... but when there r times to be ant, we be ant... when there is time to be grasshopper, we dance.
I prefer best of both world! hahhaa
