A dream

I have been thinking, what do i want in life. I am probably 25% past it, based on the average life expectancy. And certainly, its time to make decisions on how to spend the rest of it.

There are many ways to live a life. Some people make laws, others break them. Some people make things, some others save lives. Some teach, some write, some cook. While some don't really do much. At this point of time, i have a rough idea of what do i want to do. Its something like a facilitator, who puts the resources to where they can be fully optimised.

You could probably make a whole lot from doing this, but that is not really what is luring me to it. Rather, its the status in the society, and the respect you get from others. People would take you into consideration before doing anything. You can have a say in how things are being done. It would be simply called "power".

And if i do get this "power", i would help make the world we live in a better place, not just for us to enjoy, but for the many generations to come. You can call this "responsibility". People who are in power fail to be responsible to the world that we live in. I want to come in to make things right.

These will sound far-fetched and quixotic. But hey! I am not in it just for the money. People in this profession have really made a mess out of our world, and i do want to do my part to ensure the ongoing turmoil will not happen again.

An excerpt from a book from 2008's person of the year.

"... A tradition based on the simple idea that we have a stake in one another, and that what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and that if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful done."

The difference between "the largest employer in Singapore" and some other more successful organisation is the people that makes it up. Enough people believe in the truth of that proposition, and hence choose not to act on it. Hence they get around problems and cover things up. Everyone continues to live their lives peacefully.

*the truth is subjective
