I treasure advice from you, deeply appreciate. Is a critical turning point for me now.
*I value the recommendation - risk analysis (how much taker i am)
Retail business is saturated in Singapore, I wouldn't totally agree and even if it were, differentiating is the name of the game. Although retail trade for me is a tedious occupation.
You need to think big, and i mean by volume and distribution rather than a tedious 12 to 24 hr a day retail outlet, after all it's all about money and success for most people, within the shortest possible time frame, or if you are very creative, invent something and bring it into production, with the help of networking.
There are many exciting areas of employment to discover, A crash course diploma in International Trade and Export, can also change your life dramatically into the consultation field, if you have the insight and methodology for buisness analysis.
It is very satisfying being able to turn business around from a loss to a profit, knowing that your input is the saviour of total collapse.
In my young day all i craved was excitement, and high risk, dangerous, jobs, was the second reason for me to go into the military, and my first 6 months i hated it so much, that i moaned and complained every single day, that this soldiering crap, was boring and i hated the daily routine, I was so unhappy, although being the Majors side kick driver at the time, was ok, although he did try to use me has is lackey!
I politely told him to get F----d and it wasn't long before I got posted out of my unit into some action, because of my non conformist attitude, although my highly motivational skills of soldiering, and a dedicated self inflicting sadist, does have other alternatives for job satisfaction within a unit, high risk pressure is so invigorating and satisfying, until the bubble bursts, and the mind starts to breaks down under pressure, this is a normal chain of events for many, it's actually having the strength to survive the mental collapse, that makes you a stronger person, to take on the new challenges of life, and not to sit on the side lines quivering, like a nervouse wreck.
I never did return to my old unit for longer than, the time it took to fill in the paper work to join a new adventurous front line chopper unit, supporting the cream of the British Army, and just the constant training of reflexes to do, the tasks without thinking of the dangers, is i suppose an unselfish task, of professionalism, that is a job well done, and I can honestly say, there are some very gifted people, that never, get the recognition they deserve, and they the most don't even want it.
Satisfaction of inner callings are much more gratifying, that the dream we live in, is nothing but a dream, close the eyes and the senses, and we have nothing, more than emptiness, the black hole, where our spirits drift and wonder, while the sheath (skin of our body)of the five elements continue it's journey back to the earth, for yet, another day.
We in the 21st century have suffered little to what our forefathers have suffered, and to how many other people are suffering in the other parts of the world.
I would suggest looking into the looking glass and get a feel of death and sorrow, to make yourself feel alive, I read an article of a 17 year old Singaporean girl sneaking off to Afghanistan without consent, and that's what i mean, to do something like that, takes real guts at that age, I felt enormously touched, and felt so much pride for a young person I have never known.
Because I can relate, to her senses and feelings for all those people, she visited, take time out to realise, there is actually more to life, than the rat race we live in.
One thing to look at, is the deaths of so many, for reasons we cannot understand, and the grief left behind, the fighting and squabbling over possessions, left, is uncanny, becuase of objects we fight, and the greed of nations we suffer.
I'm quite happy chosing to watch the rat race learn the hard way, I personally have many objects, with names on them stored away in a room, in UK, and although I miss my personal possessions, I look back on my life and all I see, is nothing but the suit case I carry and the sheath of my transportation vehicle crumbling away, day by day, It took me 56 years to realise what life is all about, and the answer is "Going to the movies!!!"
Have a good day.
My mentor said to me yesterday, something quite funny, about the government policy of HDB, he say's the government says, you can purchased an apartment, but you never get to own it, why, because it never belongs to you, the Ceiling, is the floor of the neighbour upstairs, and the floor is the neighbours ceiling below you, and all the walls, are also your neighbours walls.
There are many occupations to explore, although my advice if you wish to take a role in the dream, is to understand the dream, to understand why you do what you do, the subconcious or unconscious mind needs to be conscious and the conscious needs to be seen, from within, for what it is.
The role play for a non conformist is much easier to understand, as the self awareness of life is unfolded.
