My friend and colleague R is hospitalized suddenly after feeling tired and not well. He was diagnosed as having a high blood pressure , weak heart and kidney. Well , he was acting normal before that and going to lunch with me sometimes and eating whatever that was ordered. Yes, he has done a by-pass but that was years ago . He was moving around well but he told me that the job pressure is getting too strong for him to bear.
Well, his boss was with him for only 2 1/2 years ago and he was looking for him to go back to the holding company. Recently, his wish was met as his boss was transfer recently. But within the two and half years, his health was affected so much due to the work pressure. So, we better don't underestimated the power of work pressure on our health. Stress is a very dangerous and we better accept and find ways to flask it out.
Well , I think this is also a matter of age catching up with him. Lately, I also feel the stress and strain on my body as there are more aches and pains all around. It is better to take care of it at the bud when it first appear. Don't we just let it develop into a chronic pain and affect our overall health eventually.
What is money when we have poor health ? It is better to be wise to accept that money is not everything but enough of it is also very important. When it is time to say goodbye to our working life , we better take a hard look at it and make a fast decision unless there are reasons to stay on. Staying on for more money in our bank is a foolish act.
Many of my younger staff told me that use what we have when we are around rather than looking at our bank account from the sky after we die. One of my staff starts to wear all her silver jewellery after we talk our life time wishes. She realized that we should wear or use everything that we are given or bought and should not keep this items to be use in the future. She worries that these items if left unused could be used by her husband's future wife or girlfriend , if she suddenly pass away . Well, this is very wise indeed and at least, she realized that we cannot be living for a thousand years and life is very unpredictable. Eat what you like to eat, wear what you like to wear and live within your means and enjoy your life as much as possible. Yes, her positive and wonderful attitude make me realized that it is better to live well and not to live long and be miserable to ourselves for the future.
Yeah, this should be the way forward .
Namaste.
