Back to the karang guni chap, how many of you would have given up, whine about your predicament already, but not this guy. He stayed true to his set goal of not working for anyone. Not only that, he continued living his life, have a family and even expanded his little business. |
Using big words like "inspiration" or "positive human spirit" to cover up poor achievement is just arguing for the sake of arguing.
Fact is your karang guni friend quit in a huff over a stupid reason like he cannot stand having somone younger than him as boss.
He then went out to start his own karang guni business, went totally nowhere for 20+ years and in the end start a mama shop below
HDB at 60 years old, probably much worse off than if he had stayed in employment until retirement.
To compare this kind of screw up due to his poor judgement and folly with the
RSN guy who has suffered such great misfortune and yet picks himself up immediately upon discharge from hospital is a complete insult to the bravery and reslience demonstrated by the
RSN guy.
