The grass is always greener on the other side.
A bit more brains but laden with around 200k of debt to clear, or a lesser but already a way above average brain with no debt to clear (plus quite a bit more)?
It seems quite clear to me, haha.
The born slacker in me have been bothered about all these very long term financing options since a very big (positive) change to my finances is poised to occur. By right, it should be a very happy thing (I still am, plus a lot of gratitude), but perhaps this happy little door actually opened up a bigger but sadder door behind. All these while, I was hiding behind the door, and I have just been planning up to my graduation, when I would just nice exhaust all my money.
It's like that bah. When you don't get it, you moan and be sad. When you finally got it after working so darn hard for it, you compare to the 200k mountain and feel that it's not enough.
Once I saw Xinyu's nick, and I thought it was very meaningful. It was in Chinese though.
Grade 1 person: Capable and good temper
Grade 2 person: Capable but bad temper
Grade 3 person: Not capable but good temper
Grade 4 person: Not capable and bad temper
Actually, a lot of times, people prefer the grade 3 person to the grade 2 person. And to be a grade 4 person is really the worst.
That points out the importance of EQ. Without IQ, perhaps you can't go far, but people will like you, and that makes you like whatever you're doing, and perhaps experience will drive you up. Without EQ, things can still be achieved, but well, it will be one-off - it's like watching a bad movie - you'll finish it somehow, but you'll never enjoy it; yet at the same time, people can't know how the movie is until they start watching it.
So, who's grass is greener? I'm grateful for what I have, but for now, the grass on my side is not that green yet.
