Interesting story. O Level dropout managed to enter prestigious UK uni to get law degree....drive big car wear thothousand  dollar shoes but found he was unhappy
 
Now he is a taxi driver and found happjness in life

I was lucky to realise this much earlier dont let society and others define what success is and whatl your goals should be.

We are somewhat vulnerable to brainwashing by society to. seek material things and define what success is.

Think and look above all that ...many things they tell you is important isnt that important at the end of the day.

Advertisers and societybcondition you to think that having condo, every year need to travel to "eat air", high status etc are important for your happiness. Once you find the truth and see through it...you can be happy with much less...even you end up with alot of money and "things" it was merely a by product not the goal of your existence.

Surviving in a taxi driver salary.

Nothing is worse than being trapped in the thinking of others.

Life is about experiences.
Good, bad or ugly not for others to say.
Your life, you experience.
We need to go through to finally say, this is good or me or this is bad for me.
Just like food.
Try spicy sour bitter sweet...
Then you can have your preferred taste.

Plse watch the video before commenting.

Person found himself on the wrong path chasing after unimportant things ..he realised it and it changed himself.

Dont you think the real.losers are those on the wrong path and stay on the wrong path until the day they die.

Education, family and friends is one big brain washing machine. Invisible but play big role in our daily conscious.

Taxi driver can see many color TV whole day sure happy 😁

Why a Failure in life failed in 6 Hurdles ?

1. Did badly in STPM, but can enter NTU via Backdoor in the 80s

2. Did badly in his marriage, so Divorce

3. Cannot find a good NUS grad as wife so buy a Vietbu

4. Cannot have a smart normal son, so blame his wife

5. Cannot excel in his life so must buy Fake Antiques every week

6. Handicap and cannot do NS, so sell his useless son to be a Duck

he becomes a taxi driver because he needed money and not because he found happiness in taxi driving.

he was unhappy because he failed to achieve wealth in his previous career and business.

he would not be driving taxi if his business was thriving and became a multi millionaire.

He made the switch to be a driver when he needed money urgently to settle business debts after winding down his intellectual property rights agency, which provides trademark services.

happiness is about expectation.

if you keep lowering your expectation, you can be happier than before.

if a millionaire leaves his thriving business to become a taxi driver and still is a millionaire, I believe what he says because he gives up more money for less.

if a businessman leaves his unprofitable/bankrupt business to become a taxi driver and in high debt, it is hard to believe what he says because he gives up more debt for no debt.

If you hv the choice, would you choose to be rich or poor?

Definitely, it is rich but for freedom, not being ultra rich.
You can travel around the world, to open your mind.
To experience and see the world.

Not spending your whole life only working like a robot.

When AI is progressing fast enough, this dream will come true. $$$ is no longer important.

South Morning Post News

HAPPINESS= it is not about accumulating wealth or accolades.

Instead, what she calls "The New Happy" centres on deep connections with others, service to one's community and prioritising relationships over personal gain.

Without a wife and children, your life is not complete!

A.complete life is impossible..in life we will have to leave out some experiences. Some are born without sibljngs and have no brothers and sisters. Some never experience climbing mount everest ...so can we say you never lived unless you have climb mount everest? 

There will always be corners of the earth we have not visited. Friends that we did not make and so on.

One third of marriages end up jn divorce anyway.

Around one in three Singaporeans dont get married. They may have pets ...make more friends...have more time for hobbies etc.

Different people different lives ....dont feel pressure to get married becauee others have.

Rich is no how much money u have.

Rich is when u got no debt to pay.
