what life means to you man
-
I recently grad from university with some AASS degree and got a job in decent company with okay pay - around average for AASS. Nothing seems great. I'm not on fast-track to success...and frankly not really interested in the job. Was at first, but now work environment and all, not really motivated. don't feel any fire in me.
Do you think life is just about sticking though it, work hard and find enjoyment outside of work/weekends...to afford a good life?
When I think about it, I feel like this is horrible. Unless I really impress in my work and have good success, I will be nothing and yet having to deal with job dissatisfaction. I want to feel more alive. But my friends, accountants, doctors, lawyers, engineers, business...go bank, law firm, accounting firm...etc all earn more than me. I feel scared that if i stick on this road, i'm still inferior. If I don't stick, I scared I regret in future if my uni friends see me end up doing some crap job crap life.

Really sad that to you, earning more than you means job satisfaction and feeling superior. That is completely the wrong way to think and completely the right kind of thinking that will allow you to feel miserable the rest of your life.
You know something. People envy me because I stay at home all day without working. Then I say I am unemployed. Then they despise me. Then I tell them I don't have to work because my business is making money to keep me alive. Then they envy me. Then I said, but it's probably making less money than you. Then they feel superior. Then I said, you make $20k/month right? Then they said only $3k. So I said, oh then in that case I make more than you. Then they envy me. If you notice, all the while, the situation never changed. If you want happiness, you have to stop comparing yourself with others. Maybe I might be wrong, but so far, that works in my life. I am happy almost everyday except for the occasional PMS.
Or maybe we're different. Maybe I shouldn't impose my type of thinking to how you should live your life. To me, I just crave to be happy. I don't crave for luxury items. Of course I need money for food and those stuff, the people who said so you don't need money of course they are talking rubbish. The fact is, beyond the need for survival, happiness is a matter of choice more than money. The other thing I am doing is pursuing my dreams. That makes me happy too. Making money from it is a bonus (apart of the survival I mentioned).
If you notice, maybe accidently or something, the richest people got so rich partly because they pursue their dreams. Facebook, Google, eBay originally were all non-profit. =) In fact, YouTube too!

Seem like ts dont love your job.
If that is so, better find another new job that you love.
Agreed with what DFG said, everywhere you go or meet, pple loves to look down on pple in terms of salary, where you live and so.
Btw, what is aass?

You will know what life is when you see early death around you. Last time I used to feel inferior too but not anymore. I am contented as long as I earn enough to go for tour to see the world at least once a year and live healthily.

be happy, find the job i love.

It may be Alumni Association of Swiss Schools
Well, there are a few things which it can stand for, so I am not sure which one it is.

You look down on yourself, not people look down on you. Be contented lah, if you hunger for more, just improve yourself or find another new job relevant to your interest
-
so you compare your pay to the accountants, doctors, lawyers etc who earns much more than you. once you earn more than them, what's next? compare to the other ceos, ministers, property tycoons?
keep on comparing until you earn the most - and then what? try to keep that income and refuse to retire? do everything to hold on to power when you're old, inventing new positions for yourself to promote to?
my opinion of money is this -> enough to survive can liao. no need to be greedy. if your desire for money outweighs yourself, you'll spend (and waste) your whole life chasing after it
if you say my pay is low, i'll compare to all the jobless, unemployed pmets out there
if i end up jobless, i'll compare to those who can't even afford a roof over their heads and needs to resort to camping
if one day i'm homeless, i'll compare to those who died while chasing the neverending money game, without the chance to live out their lives
if one day i die, then there's no need to compare anymore =P

What life means to you?
Do you live your lives based on what people think of you?Do you live your lives based on what your friends think of you?
Do you live your lives based on what you think of yourself?
Pick one of the above and I can tell you that your life is heading towards a certain doom because you have allowed unwise people/friends/yourself to steer your lives around like a computer game.
People/friends/yourself can easily be influenced by EVIL to LIE, WITHHOLD, FORGET, MANIPULATE the right way of living your lives from yourselves.
Live your lives based on what GOD will think of you, that is the right way. Find a right partner with the right values and morals and your marriage will last. Respect your elders and loved ones so that your life may prosper. Love GOD with all your MIGHT so that your children will love you with all their might!

dont limit yourself only on maths and engineering or on business and finance. this knowledge will only solve your work problem.
when u encounter problem in human relationship at work place or within your famliy or if u dont know how to handle your kid, read up subject like social psychology and child psychology.
when u encounter problem about life, read up subject like religion, history and eastern philosophy.
when u encounter problem about office politic then go read up political science.
all this knowledge are free where u can go national library to get the books to read. if u are lazy then u can also surf wiki or watch youtube from the internet.
gaining knowledge will increase your wisdom. lol
last but not lease, moral education also very important, if not when u gain knowledge u will go and do all the bad things.

Life to me is about learning to love the whole package - the pains the struggles the joys the heartbreaks the loneliness the beauty. Everything. To stick to your decisions and stand by yourself to whatever end. And to be able to say, at the end of your life, you were there when your life was happening and that you enjoyed the journey

modern life is all about $...
putting aside all poetry i love during my spare time, i am most pragmatic when i go to work in the morn...
the reason why u hate your job is becos of your current earnings compared to your frens...
turn that anger and disappointment into creative urge to get even or better...
u need to separate what u is true in your heart from your real life...managing between ideals and realities...keep the true self intact while u get on in real life
-
are u all talking about man life or woman life?? it will be quite bais to talk about what is life for man only
-
Work to live.
Or live to work.
-
Pay to live
Live to Pay

be glad you still breathe. what life means to you and what you want out of it only you can decide. not with firends and hangout and get slashed and then waiting to go for funeral. life's a gift and be very happy that you still have one.
