We forget the main reason......

It is now mid Sat nite. Or I should say early morning Sunday. Coz the time is 3am Sunday. Instead of sleeping at my lovely bed, I am sitting in office, thinking of what is happening to me and to all my friends. Thinking of things that I have miss out when things just happen to fast for my mind to think clearly and react correctly.

For me, I feel this is very important coz we human tend to forget the basis or the main reason when we do things. A very classic example is when we earn money. Most of us try to earn money so that we can live more comfortable. So that our children can have better education. So that our wife and family can live more happier. And so that is the "main reason". But as we do this, we neglect to give children the education. Teach the child how to read ABC. We just pay the tuition fees and taught that is the "better education" that the child need. We also spend hours and hours working OT until our health have problem and thus we need to earn even more money so that we can live "more comfortable" with better health. So as what I can see the main reason we earn money is to have better life, but we tend to lose focus or have the wrong understanding of "more money = better life". In reality that is not entirely true. Money is merely a human invention for ease of trading but human get to wrong ideas and think that money is source of evil.

Another things we tend to forget when we teach our children. We tell them education is very important because with good education good qualification they can get good salary. That really is what most parent thinks of how it should be. But in reality is it that way? Good salary is for people that excel in what they do, and people that excel in what they do is people that understand and know what they are doing. But education or Exam may not test on that. For example, a pianist diploma exam. The person need to show how well he/she can play a piano piece and their marks is based on technique, difficulty of that piece, etc. But can this test actually test how well the person can compose song? Even Jay Chou also is disqualify in a music competition before he is well known. So again the main reason of importance education is getting wrong understanding. "good education or certificate = good skill or understanding = high salary or income" but reality show otherwise.

Always understand the main reason. the basic principle. the root of what we are doing. And then we will excel in life. When you feel you are moving too fast, then find time to sit back. Think about it all over again. Go back to the root. This will avoid miss perception that we all suffering.
