- Or rather stem the slide by being more alert and vigilant? Awareness is the first step to change. People need to know that they lead by example - not just by words but by actions. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words. Some people need to realize that being selfish, etc, just gets them ahead in the short term. Kids soak up all this like a sponge, do you realize it? All verbal and non-verbal clues.
I know some of them think that they'll be selfish for now because they are poor but later when they have more money, they'll be generous in time and money then. Uhuh.. life is about justifications. They should just stop justifying themselves and think of others a bit more.
One should be generous and think of others even when one has little. Even when I was earning RM1,600 and paying all my bills with not much left over, I used to contribute what could - time and money - also part of the reason why I'm still single - no time and money left left over to have all that fun, you know. But I wouldn't change anything for the world because I was true to myself and did what I thought was right.
My measly salary went on for years, my then employers took advantage of loyal (yeah, stupid) employees and gave no increments for a few years and eventually gave me an increment of RM50.. but I didn't stop what I was doing because I had a bigger picture in mind.
/Well, ok.. not so stupid. What my last previous employer gave me was authority and autonomy but still no cash. Ah well..
//RM1= about QR1.06 or something like that but about equal.
Make of it what you will, as my friend likes to say. I'm only saying this to bring to some people's attention that what they're suffering is not that bad. Other people have been through worse. It's all a matter of one's attitude. Yes, also cost of living issue of certain countries but anything can be overcome. Lower expectations, live within means.
