Rules to live by... suit the laidback and defeatist in me

We come to this world with nothing, we leave this world with nothing (Doesn't that remind you of the Malay word 'kosong' which means 'empty' or nothing!)

No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.

No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.

No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Money is not yours until you spend it. (No matter how much you have in the bank, if anything happens to you, someone else would inherit it.)

When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late. (Even if you abide by this rule, you are not guaranteed to be in good health. The only way to know is when you are in good health as a result of taking things easy.)

How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs. (A greedy person would wish to accumulate more and more, despite being rich. He is unhappy because his needs are unfulfilled.)
