The Ranking of Life - Stockholm, Sweden

Among love, friendship, family, money, career, what is your ranking for these?

Money will never be the first for me. I know a lot of people said that at my age, money should always come first. But, can you answer me what is the age that money should go behind? when you are 50? or 90? Nobody know how long he/she can live. Who knows maybe the next morning when you are on your way to work you already hit by a car and die at the age of 25?

One of a friend I knew during Baker Hugh interview always recall me the sudden of life. He went to the class as usual one day when he is on his way to university, he hit by a car. By the time he woke up is already 3 weeks after the incident. He is 1 year elder than me when we went interview together because he stop his studies for 2 semesters. After the accident, he always try all the dangerous thing like Bungee jump or roller coaster without thinking twice. It is because he know deeply what is the meaning of nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.

Every time before I go to travel, I will ask myself. Shall I keep the money? Or shall I just travel and look at the world without calculating what is the figure left in my bank account. Obviously, I am choosing the second option. You should see the world when you are still able to see the world.

I am not going to talk much about Stockholm trip as what I have did before. The most remarkable place that I been is the Nobel Museum. Although the museum is small with only words and poster, it gives very huge impact to me. The museum is exhibiting about all the Nobel winners, of course, and many information about human right. It tells how China is blocking the Internet information from the citizen, talks about Rwanda Genocide, under wage Indian work force who work 12 hours a day, under toxic situation (those work in dye factory) and etc. Human right, democracy, freedom of speech, sincerely wish Malaysia can be like that soon.

anas,
Life is really full of unexpectancy. something happen recently which make me feels money is not everything even more. I will blog about it next time.

Kitt yin,

I purposely don't want to rank it because I don't know how to rank them. I only know money is not the first for me.

Cl, i like your personalised posts. I have a flexible ranking, as i felt that at any one time, different things take different priority. :) but money is really out of that group. I rather see money as the mean to achieve the rest (love,career,family etc). :) And furthermore, at our level, i think love = family. :)

family > love > friendship, family, money, career,

Too hard to rank..so I'd ranked them parri-passu...^^

Life's fragile .. No one knows whats gonna happen tomorrow. So, live & laugh like tomorrow never come.

Seize your day. Carpe Diem...
