Too many people don't realize that for their lives to mean something they must first think about the kind of impact they want to have on the world, the kind of legacy they want to leave behind, then work hard to achieve that. <br /><br />If they're not even willing to expend the effort to think seriously about this, then it's no surprise that their lives won't have the meaning they want it to have.talestellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15588619957993017480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17478547.post-61786666252081170352016-07-29T17:36:20.592+08:002016-07-29T17:36:20.592+08:00Hi Chris.

It seems that those people in the situations do not see the problem that you see. <br /><br />Hence to them, there is no problem and no resolution is required. <br /><br />The first step to solving a problem is to agree one exists.<br /><br />You are moving too fast hahaJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525893992596632176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17478547.post-40665312053334460462016-07-28T15:16:41.187+08:002016-07-28T15:16:41.187+08:00Interesting insight.

Singapore dream was meant for nation building, but no longer relevant. the govt is no longer with the people as we ages & become a national burden that must be borne by them. there is really no meaning in life for ordinary folks over age of 55, with just enough to stay alive.
