Aspects of Life

" If you were asked to rank family,friendship,education,career,and relationship,how
would you rank them?"

Just a moment ago, I was looking for good,thought-provoking materials to read again.Once more,Matthew's blog does not fail to amaze me with his thought-provoking entries.His latest entry,5 Aspects of life got me thinking again.You can find his original post here.Upon reading it,I felt that there is a need to come up with my own arrangement and rankings of several aspects of life and elaborate on them.

First of all,
1) Family
=>Well, undeniably family should be the top priority for everyone.After all,your parents were the one that brought you to this very world,and as much as I hate it, your sisters and brothers are the one that have the same blood running down your vein.Although there might be some disagreement at times, in the end of the day,I am still a part of my family and I will always put them above everything else.Although my parents could not satisfy my every desire,but I do know they try their best.Thus,I genuinely care for them,as much as they care for me too.Without them, I couldn't possibly be blogging here today =D.

2) Friends
=>Friends,they are also one of the most important aspect of my life, second only to family =D.I really do value my friendship with my friends.Needless to say,without friends,one would live a meaningless,lonely life.Friends are whom you can share your joy,happiness,sorrow and other emotions with.Friends are whom you can readily confide all your problems to.Friendship, a window to a man's soul =D.I do realize that the fact is, as we grow older, our circle of friends will eventually grow smaller.However,that does not prevent one from getting more friends and staying in contact with old friends right?I just want to say,to those that I am always talking to, to those that I am still in contact with,and even to those that I met only once or twice,even though the flow of time will eventually separates us,even though our memories might fade,but, the next time we cross our path, I would definitely say "Hi" ,as you will always be my friend,past,present or future! = D

3) Career
=>It is indeed a tough decision to make between career and education but I chose career over it.Why so?Well,I shall first elaborate on why career is that important.Living in the midst of poverty,having born into a middle-income family,I truly learned the importance of having money.No,I am not exactly the money-minded people that will use any means to get them but then again, I know, without having money, I will not be able to get anything at all.In this cruel,materialistic world,people have to participate in life's rat race to survive.So,this is the first importance of having a good career.Secondly,career might be defined as a job where we need to work relentlessly to earn money but to some lucky fellows, career is their way of living life to the fullest.No, I am not referring to those workaholics that work night and day just finding pleasure in working.I am referring to those dream jobs,the ones where you would be more than happy to do the works involved.Be it a pilot,a singer,a teacher,a dancer,or journalist,as long as you enjoy every second of it in your "job",that is your dream job =D.I would definitely be happy if I could have my dream job =D.

4) Education
=> Like I mentioned earlier,it is indeed a tough decision to choose in between career and education.If one were to rank education based on the education system now,which demands us ,students to get as many "A's" as you can just to go in good colleges,universities and so on, those are total rubbish I think.Our intelligence cannot be measured in simple means such as these "A's" and this statement is proved by many of world's success stories.Did you know that Bill Gates dropped out from Havard University ?:P So,it is clear that our results now does not really show our intelligence and our potential in the future ,yet we still need to strives for those "A's",just to lessen the worries of our parents and get a safe route to a good job.Though,in actual fact,education is a lifelong process.Every day, we learn and experiences new things.It is these knowledges that help us overcome hurdles in our future and live a better life.Frankly, I am still being quite indecisive about choosing career over education.However, I think that careers can co-exist with education too, as when we are working, we do learn new things too ,and that itself is education =D.

5) Relationship
As far as I am concerned, relationship isn't that much of an importance,not to me at the very least,not yet I guess .True,love is a wonderful thing and I do believe that everyone is destined to have one lifelong partner to be together ,living happily ever after with.I have yet to experience the magic of love yet ,and yes, of course I want to experience it.However,as for now, I truly believes that my current age is not the most suitable age to start a relationship and I doubt my true love will suddenly appear in front of me now also : P.Hence,relationship is ranked the last in my aspects of life.

Alright,since you have read until here,why don't you start blogging about your aspects of life too? Hehee, let this be some kind of tag.Those that read this, if you have time to do it, do blog about this, I am sure many of you are curious about how these aspects ranks in your heart too right?Do leave me a comment when you finish blogging about it.It will definitely be interesting to read it ^^].

I had written about my aspect of life before.(in chinese ^.^)
The only difference is, education replaced by health.

So I rank:
1)Health
2)Family
3)Career
4)Friendship
5)Relationship

But now,since it replaced by education,
I rank:
1)Family
2)Career
3)Education
4)Friendship
5)Relationship
