Penang is a place where life noticeable slow down. Our life today is full of stress from the time we are born. From before we start school, we have enrichment programs like piano, ballet dancing, art, gymnastics, phonics, Shichida, abacus, and more. Then it is studying hard to make it to the gifted program. After that it is PSLE so that we can go to the top schools(branding is important, you know). Then it is "O" level for some and "A" levels for all. Then we have to study in the University to secure a future. Along the way, many drop out, fell out or lost their way.
We then compete for jobs and when we have a job, we have to compete for survival and promotion. We need money to survive and live. So we cannot opt out and stay jobless or rather incomeless.
Generating income can be stressful. We have to work and work to keep many stakeholders happy - Customers, Boss, Staff and Peer basically everyone we have contact with. I wonder how life is like to opt out of the rat race and be a monk. Spend my time meditating and praying. That will be the day!
