Am I investing…
When I was just a litt’ kid money used to
be an issue to me. I grew up in a situation whereby almost eachday of my life
all I could hear from the adults around me was ‘I owed ppl a lot this months’
‘the bills haven’t pay yet’ ‘monthly income for this month is not enough’ la…bla..bla…
and the list could just go on and on and on…
Haha… There was once I could remember the
1st day of registration in uni my dad could not afford to pay the 1st
payment of the uni fee cos that time I wasn’t aware that I could apply for
study loan (ptptn). My dad went all the way to his frend and lent money for my
uni fee payment. I almost could not complete my registration due to
insufficient of amount. I was so tensed and sweated like what while I was
lining up for the queue outside the bank corridor. Praying that my dad could
get the money from his frend and reach unimas as soon as possible.
Money to me is always an issue. My family
doenst own much property not even a house. The house that im staying is a rent
house. My actual house is at matang jaya but its still under housing loan.
I am not grumbling that I’m facing great
financial debts here. I have sufficient food to eat each day and I am not
lacking of a meal. In this case, I am considered very blessed. But since I grew
up at such condition, I could be very particular and stingy at times. It’s good
I thought since I will not learn to be spendthrift.
I have a discriminate thought against ppl
who came from rich background and who call themselves as elite class citizen
(dun make me puke) especially those who like to look down on others and are
insensitive when money are tight. Most of the time, the young
ones from wealthy bckgrd they would never
be bothered abt how much they spend on food eachday, bills, study, housing, car
loans and daily expenses. Not having any urgency to spend economically. Sigh~
Recently the radio station has been
airing an announcement from the government board motivating the public to
invest in the 3rd party unit fund. Yeah out of a sudden, I have this
plan and determine to do some investment and savings for my future. I used to
think well as long as I have faith in God He will lead me. Yeah I should have
faith but if faith doesn’t come with action it is just equal to nothing. It’s
not too late to discover that, it’s just the beginning of investment.
This kinda investment is tangible but
1day I came across an article abt a comment from an experienced secondary sch
teacher she cited that throughout her teaching carrier it is actually a
long-term investment on what she is doing. As she claimed that her carrier path
provide her the avenues to do long-term investment on her pupils’ lives which I
tot was incredible and inspiring! Although u can’t see the immediate result but
this intangible investment will be an impact for lifetime. And from then I knew
that I will choose education as my carrier path till further adjustment. Both are
equally important… I have chosen the 1st one which is intangible but
for a lifetime impact and now I plan to start off with the next tangible investment
