Work-a-holic? Or just being lazy??

Does anyone has a clear guideline on how to determine if one is a work-a-holic?

There are quite a number of my colleagues seems to enjoy working quite a bit. I heard them complaining that they have nothing to do at home when they were forced to take leaves. (consider it paid leave, as it is time-off in lieu). I don't really seeing them complaining when they have to work around the clock. For me, it seems that they really enjoy working. What do you think?

If we see eye to eye on this conclusion, i need to ask you something. Do u think they are work-a-holic?

If yes, shd we call them work-a-holic simply because they dun complain and probably enjoy working that much? Isn't it a good thing to enjoy doing something that is good for yourself and society?

If not, don't you think that they are some what obsessive compulsive?

Pchycologist says it is considered a problem if it adversely affect your social relationships. Err... Quite a vague statement. To what extend is it considered "affecting" you social life? When you don't have a time to listen to a friend whining? Or when you don't have time to accompany your wife to shop? (I think that is the main reasons someone become work-a-holic. Haha...)

Ok, then another scenario. Ben always give time to the family and friends + and exercise a bit and keep himself in good shape + keep everything else organised. But he don't really spend any time pampering himself. He has no desire, other than working, of course. Is that the best scenario that can be?

Shakespeare: To be or not to be, that is the question...

(Gimme some input on this. And please help me to develop the scale if you guys have any comment, idea, revelation or anything resembles that. Thanks in advance...)

Un-named Scale (Pls help me to figure out a name for this)

Sub-Zero: Parasit (Maybe i am too harsh....)
The value of life is about the enjoyment that you get out of it. If my life is spent on dealing with the jerks, then how should i enjoy my life? By the way, there are so many successful people around me. As a friend and family, it is natural that they should help me out, right? I treated them so well all the time...

Ground Zero: Lazy
Dun enjoy working at all. There are so many jerks out there. Office politics, ridiculously demanding boss and the list goes on and on. Only if i can stop working...

Level 1: Moderate
Well, working can be quite fun sometimes. Besides, we must work for the resources we enjoy. We cannot just be a parasit to the society, right? It is very boring sitting at home and do nothing at all. However, working can sometimes be boring too. The boring repeating jobs and demanding bosses. Overall, it is ok and acceptable to work. Things are not any better if i were not working. I just want a stable and moderate life.

Level 2: Hardworking
The whole meaning of life is about what you can achieve. Pure enjoyment is a waste of life as it does not helping the society. If everyone do not contribute to the society, the civilization will not develop, not to mention the possibility of regression. I enjoy the fact that i am achieving something good for the society and get rewarded with money, power and status.

Level 3: Work-a-holic
Life sucks. There are so many people out there who are just too difficult to understand. Working is in turn simpler. You will get rewarded for what you have contributed. People recognise your hardworking and achievements.

My hiong hiong colleague...

I have a colleauge who is taking ACCA, just like me. Has one more paper to go, just like me. Joined the firm that i am working for in July 2008, just like me. But why do i specifically mention this colleauge?


That is simply because, this colleague is HIONG!!!


Actually it is not this colleague being hiong, just that i am lame nia...

I am taking this colleague as comparison simply because this colleauge has a very similar study and career profile as i do. So, my dear frens, those of you guys taking different career profile than me, e.g. engineerings, and especially life science courses, please don't compare you all to me to avoid undesired consequences, ok? Thank you for your c0-operation.


OK. Now that u all knows that i am just at the same stage of life as my colleague, i am telling you guy the difference between us...

1. This colleague is one year younger than me... (Me Stupid X1)
2. This colleague took a study path that shd take 1 year longer than me... (Me Stupid X2)
3. This colleague passed the paper i failed in first attempy, although this colleague is working while taking the paper... (Me Stupid X3)

Wei, you expect more ar? What kind of people are you? Are you sure you are a fren of mine?

Haiz...

I tend to go ahead of myself too...
Divertion by expectation...
Haiz

I am feeling bad for myself. I am being too irresponsible for my frens and myself.

Guys, i really appreciate what you all had helped.
Fetching me here and there when i don't have transportation, encourage me to do the right things, warn me ahead so that i will avoid bad things to happen, instill good quality & value inside of me, share your life to me so that i can learn from it, and the list is too long to list it down here...

I know that i am a lucky person. I met a lot of "expensive people" (贵人, hahaha...) (Btw, it also means the third lowest rank among Emperor's wives. Hahahahahahaha...)


They had helped me in many ways. However, it seems that i had wasted their efforts...

Haiz...


I am also being not responsible of myself..
My had not grow strong enough to meet all my obligations...
Not to mention my obligation to myself, i.e. to make my own life a happy life...


Haiz...


I want this to be my bottom. I don't wanna go south anymore. (As there are no polar bear in south pole. Hahahaha...). It is time for me to rebound already.


My life, is my own responsibility.

Desperation = Motivation

I was told that all motivation usually comes in two general form, desperation and motivation. I kinda agree with that.

I saw a lot of tv interviews. I am not so sure if they are bragging + making themselves look great or what, it seems that desperation is the more effective form of motivation. By desperation, i don't mean the crave for something that they want really badly in their life, not the basic needs that you cannot live without.

So, my dear friends....
If you are feeling kinda contented about what you have right now, i am sorry to tell you, you won't get far from here. So, we must complain a lot about what we don't like whenever we meet. We must make ourselves feel miserable for not having something good.

Again, i just have to say, IT IS A CRAZY WORLD OUT THERE!!!

Right vs Wrong?

It is quite obvious that different society has different say on what is right (acceptable) and wrong (not acceptable). So, wat is actually right and wrong?



E.g. Is polygamy acceptable?

Pro - Wei, if i like it and the other partIES can accept that, why cannot har? Actually hio, i think law is not fair one you know. The laws har are made by those politicians who are everything but endau, pretty or attractive. So hio, they purposely create all this kind of law to punish attractive people like us! You know har, actually it is not good for the population one you know? You see har, the gender ratio is roughly 1G:1.02B (G= Gang / male, B= Bo / Female). So hio, the losers don't have to work hard, as they will still get a partner under monogamy anyway. This does not encourage healthy competition. Society as whole won't work hard. So hio, curse the politicians. Btw, it is also because Allah said i can do so.



Skeptic - There are valid reasons behind the installation of the monogamy. The society is more prosperous than ever. We have more food, better shelter, more + better entertainment and etc now than ever. This is simply because people had been able to constraint their greeds and channel their creativity, energy and thoughts to society improvement. Just imagine, a briliant person had created some value for the society and that person is quickly surrounded by a number of spouses. Then that person will be distracted from the making more contributions to the society. Is that a good thing for the society? I think the answer the very obvious.

(In plain english: It is not my fault! I dunno! I dunno!)



So, is polygamy right or wrong?

Wat, you can right & wrong? Ok lar, let's put it this way. If you have one guy/girl you love the most, and another guy/girl you love 70% of the first one. Then will you marry both? or just the one you love the most?



People said Islam is bad. They have that crazy "Jihad" thing that encourage people to fight + allow guy to marry to more girls but not a girl to more guys. But i really wonder, if they would know that Islam granted women voting rights 1500 years ago while the modern only consider this in 1900s? Or do they realised about the Crusades that Catholic Church had initiated, simply because they want to capture the Sacred City - Jerusalem. I wonder why they never say anything when they are still under the islamic sultanate for the last 500 years.

(Rumours has it that suicide bombers will granted 12 beautiful virgins in the heaven. Jeff Dunham raised an interesting question though. Why don't asked for 12 slutty women who knows what they are doing?)


I am not pro Islam. What i am saying is nothing is 100% evil nor good. Evils come in all forms. They are good in disguising themselves. What is right now might actually be wrong. What most people does might not necessaily be the right thing! Just looking at what happened in the Indonesia riots of 1998. So, what is the right thing to do? For me,





IT IS JUST A CRAZY WORLD OUT THERE!!!!!
