When we are in heaven, our money is still in the bank.

When we are alive, we don't have enough money to spend, or do not wish to spend.

When we are gone, there is still a lot of money not spent.

One tycoon in China passed away.

His widow, with $1.9 billion in the bank, remarried his chauffeur.

His chauffeur said, "All the while I thought I was working for my boss. Now only I realise that my boss was all the time working for me !!! "

The cruel reality is:

It is more important to live longer than to have more wealth. So we must strive to have a strong and healthy body, it doesn't matter who is working for who.

A high end hand phone, 70% of the functions are useless.

An expensive car, 70% of the speed is not needed.

A luxurious villa, 70% of the space is not occupied.

A whole wardrobe of clothes, 70% of it is not worn.

A whole life of earning, 70% is for other people to use.

So we must protect and make full use of our 30%.

Go for med exam even not sick

Drink more water even not thirsty

Must let go even faced with grave problems

Must give in even you are in the right

Must be humble even you are very powerful

Must be contented even you are not rich

Must exercise even you are very busy.

LIFE IS SHORT

WE MUST LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

WE SHOULD LIVE HEARTEDLY & SPEND OUR CHILDREN’S INHERITANCE!

Note: I am not the author of the original article. However, I wish to add that it is wiser to use your surplus money to create happiness, like tipping the people who serve you, helping the poor and needy people and supporting the political parties that can create happiness for the people.

Remember our ultimate aim in life is happiness, not money.

Uncle, recently our primary schoolmates in 70's managed to reconnect through what'sapp grouping. Out of 35 gathered, 9 are residing abroad. In hindsight, this somewhat reflecting the actual senario in this fabfic of society.

I can't agree more - we should help spend more of our children's inheritance to make us, and others, happier. Too much wealth can be a burden, as is too little which may be a handicap. Achieving a fine balance is what the good life is all about.

Very wise words Mr Koon. We see your humble self and noble intentions. We have seen and met some arrogant people who bully their way through with their wealth and power to those less powerful. But they can't sleep well if they know you have RM1 more than him in your pocket.

Mr Koon, agreed with you 100%. Live within your mean based on needs not wants, strive for healthy body and sound mind. Be thankful of what you have, adopt give and take attitude. Stay humble as you cannot be right all the time. Another take away is, if one cannot control his/her ego, it is difficult to stay humble. The illiterates are those who cannot learn from past mistakes or from other mistakes.
