Some of you may disagree with me.
To you, time can be bought. Bosses can buy your time because they are paying your salary and you have to be there although you probably have better place that you want to be at.
Why did I say time can't be bought?
My definition of bought here is using the currency of LOVE.
No matter how much amount of love you have for someone, we can't just simply buy it with the currency LOVE.
At certain time, currency of LOVE is invalid.
Especially when it comes to work.
Because at the very back of your mind you know that if you don't come to work as per what your boss wanted, you will get fired and that's the last thing you want to happen.
But as for family members or much less relatives or friends. You know very well that they will be there no matter what.
In short, THEY CAN WAIT!
It can be seen as we've taken it for granted the gift of human connections that is gifted to us.
But hey, come on...that's what we NEED to do to SURVIVE right.
We are living in the system of human made rules.
I don't care how high your position is in your company hierarchy, you are still a robot to me.
Your boss is using the currency of MONEY to get you going in the company. Do whatever they wanted you to do even if it is against your willing because it's part of your responsibilities.
Family time bonding goes down the drain due to that.
For some families, children grow up on their own. Their parents only provide currency of MONEY but currency of LOVE is no where to be seen.
Pathetic right.
But then again you will say, "What to do? If don't work then who will give money?"
That's where the work life balance comes in.
What's the worse thing that can happen if you say no to the most important thing in your life?
You'll get fired! Yes maybe! But only if your boss is a piece of shit! hehehe....yes i just cursed. It's called being human. Bluek!
Find your work life balance so that you wouldn't miss the best time with your love ones.
Make the currency of LOVE valid!
Till next time, Happy National Day Singapore!
