Work hard or dont work hard keep expectations low.
You work hard does not mean you can own a private property or drive car in Singapore.

Can or cannot is a different matter. If you set yr expectations low, you still want to work hard for what? Study so hard for what? Just study to pass can already, stop at o or a level can already

If you compare our lives with those living in under developed countries we are so much better...don't always compare with Malaysia and make yourself angry.

Happiness is state of mind and a choice. If you choose to be unhappy and whine why your friend in Malaysia can buy car and private freehold, when you are still waiting for your BTO and cant afford marriage and kids, you are choosing to be unhappy. You can choose not to be married and not to have children, why press for things to hard to attain in Singapore. When have children then complain that you struggle to support then. Why buy car then complain petrol expensive worse still drive to Malaysia to pump their petrol.. causing them to laugh at you.
I see.already I also laugh. Buy car cannot afford petrol....this is such an irony....
Today again I see another thread again comparing Sjngapore with Malaysian again. This is yet another attempt to make ownself unhappy. Why not compare with Africa...why not compare with El Salvador

Negativity thoughts are not all bad , some have its positivity also.

More than 50% have just O or A level.
With 30% from ITE.

If one ambition is to be a delivery rider or taxi driver above is quite true. Grabfood and GrabTaxi are good choices but key is do this until retire can?

The real problem is that the moral value in our country is very bad.
