Start Thinking

Have you ever push everything aside, calm yourself and start thinking about what's the definition of your life?

Most of the time I did not want to know my future and sometimes I really do wanna know. However, all these while I just hoping for a better tommorow. What is the use of thinking or planning your future when you do not know what's happening tommorow? The problem with life now is MONEY. Money it's like the backbone of your life. Everyone is thinking how to earn more money to have a better future BUT when is that "future"? This is the cycle of life which everyone will think of it - STUDY > WORK > MONEY. Yes, the purpose of living is to earn money. Look, I'm further my studies now is to gain knowledge and have a better work in future and earn more money. Many of them says that certs are nothing but experience is something. I would say, both are vital. The purpose of cert is show your qualification and it was a good "property" for a freshy while it's not a good start of person who don't. A person who goes for experience, they need to be very hardworking in order to achieve a better promotions and need to go step by step. Cert somehow it's a so-called "shortcut" and to prove that you have achieve a certain level of your knowledge in your particular field. For example if you are a freshie and you need a job. When you go for job interview, what are the things to prove that this job needs you? SPM certs, perhaps? I guess that's bring you only 50-50 to get a better job. Culture at this era had changed. It's harder to earn quick money now as in from really poor to very rich because there's alot of educated people nowadays and things are getting advance now. If you think that without cert can make you happy with what you do, then go ahead. Or else, better get a "proper" (relates what you happy to do with in future) cert. As I mentioned previously, when you first start a job, you need a "qualification" to give you higher opportunity to get a the job unless you just want to find a job just to fill in your bored days (if you're parents are rich enough to even feed your grandchildrens). :silly: So, what is the use of universities or colleges if certs are not important at all? Why your parents kept asking you to study more? Spending their sweat money for your education if experience are crucial compared to cert?

I really do wonder if there's any use of my degree cert now in my career since whenever designers need to go for job interview, they need to show their portfolio. Certs are nothing for designers or artists. There are a moment that I just felt it was waste of money to further my studies that's why I wouldn't go until Master degree. I guess it's just enough for a designer to achieve a degree cert. Creativity is rather crucial compared to certs. I don't wanna torture myself to write thousand words of essays which I'm not interested in at all. I'm not gonna be a design writer anyway. Failing is like throwing your parents money into the sea. However, I really do think that higher education is quite beneficial because you get to learn more and broaden you knowledge in your field. Degree brings depth of understanding in your field. If I stop my education until diploma, I guess I wouldn't know what graphic design is REALLY about (despite the basic theory of graphic design) and those remarkable graphic designers and even who started advertising first. I guess further studies sometimes helps you to widen your knowledge. It probably helps you in designing in future becase a designer needs to know EVERYTHING! from shit to angel. Perhaps, I should appreciate what I've achieve now - don't have to THINK about future, just

hoping for a better tommorow.

What is the use of sitting down and worrying your future when you don't know what happen tommorow?

What is the use of you worrying all day when you think you can't do anything?

Just live happy each day, see what are your capability to achieve what you want in future. If you think you are not good enough, think what can you do to make you good enough. Don't ever try to think of hoq to be unique in your life. If you wanna be unique, just be an ALIEN la. You can't be unique but you just can be a sucessful hardworking person.

To conclude my point of view, humans NEVER have enough money to spend. So, what's the use of saving money and at the end you have to spend it in a hospital? I sometimes do really wonder. Why people busy looking for money until they abuse their health? I would prefer to earn now, enjoy it now. I don't plan for future. My definition of life is to work and earn money and enjoy life everyday but I'm sure I will not have enough money until I die. So, what's the definition of your life? If it's not about money then what is the purpose of living in this world?
