Yesterday i met up with my buddy at VivoCity with our "WAGS" with us...he just went for an interview..we were on the topic on getting jobs naturally and he said he has a friend who got a job at McKinsey as a consultant and is getting a starting salary of 10,000/month. woot! good for that person. but to me, it doesn't make any different. I mean, in the past, i would almost certainly have compared my would-be salary with that person. but now, no way man! Maybe the price for that is working in a stressful environment that doesn't allow for mistakes or what it may be... but personally i think, like grades, salaries do not have to be compared.
To those who like to compare what you have with others, take heed into this saying --> "人比人，比死人。" It's saying comparing yourself with others only makes you poorer, in short. People will always compare with people that has more things than them and ask themselves why are they not getting what that person is getting. It's not about how much money you are getting or going to get that matters, but how much of a value you are getting from what you are earning. To me, the amount im going to earn is more than enough for me now. good enough for me to strike a balance between family, friends and myself. and for that, I am already thankful. =D
