Joey, sometimes, there are lots of things which to me, dont even make sense or sometimes i can say it as ridculous, but it is practised in such a manner. But, to respect them, we follows what they practise. Anyway, it is not too hard for us to keeping with their way.

I believe you are staying in Malaysia. May i suggest that you travel a bit more to learn more what the local culture is all about. Seeing new things and different life style can be exciting and adventrous as well, however i do not mean that there will be lots of culture shock to be unearthed for you. 

Manusia mana pernah cukup....

Dreamer, again you have exercise your point of view will supercede any others. As i said which i believe you didnt even read carefully or attentatively, that (1) to use a bakuteh shop at a muslim area is not a logical example and (2)  i have mentioned that if the shop is opened at a chinese community.

Again to answer your examples on airline....

There is no right or wrong answer here. Of course there are one answer seems more logical to be chosen.

A) move to other countries, how to guarantee that you will become very successful and rich by choosing this option? To enable you to become very successful and rich, it is not just choice of employment, dedication towards your job, performance, right opportunity, etc etc plays a big part in it.

B) Start over in other IT area? Means have to go down to basic again as previous experience is not relevant, how many people will choose this? Even those who choose this, how far can they go and time is limited as they may be too old in the industry. Even if some may become successful, but how many % can really achieve that?

C) Stay back, although not much chance of going further up, but this will provide you with a stable income and some assurance that you still can bring food home to feed your family. Isnt that you said complain worth nothing if you cannot bring food home? YOu dont feel suprise that many will stay on as they are reluctant to venture out and are too comfortable at their job. Try read the book "who move my cheese", it tells us to move on and do not sit back. why? because many people are sitting back.

Hope you treat this as friendly discussion and do not feel offended with the way i respond to u. 

can we get back on topic?

Fine... I agree if I bring pork to eat in front of them.

What if they bring themselves in front of my pork? Do I put away my pork because they've arrived, or should they go somewhere else away from my pork?

Like Dreamer said, respect is a 2 way street.

I respect you by offering to compromising. You respect me by refusing my offer. Then each of us do our own thing, on our own time, with our own money. We both go out of our way to avoid each other. Alternatively, we can take turns compromising.

Respect is when we allow each other space to do our own thing.

so the main point is how you use/utilise what you have/around you, not ask/wish for what's not there?

if you are able to do that = above average?

im sure not all 'average' people whines, they just wont step out of their comfort zone << so are those "average"

p/s: as pointed out, respect is a two way street and let's get back on topic

This is true enough.. Until know I'm still thinking how to become ABOVE AVERAGE.. I would like to be someone that my company can't find replacement for my place.. You know what I mean..?

Until now I'm still thinking HOW..?

Not totally correct too. It's possible for people to create the dependency to the extend the company have to promote him/her in order to keep him/her.
What is your view on this?

If old task is wasting your time then it is better to give someone else.. BUT you need some skills that makes you cannot be replaced by anyone else..

Or else be prepared to be replace n kick out by company..

Please stop this misunderstanding. I'm not trying to be indispensable. I'm trying to be someone that you can't find replacement for my place. The idea is once I go, you can't find no other like me. It is not the same anymore.

Lets say for example, you can't find replacement for Dr.Mahathir. Even someone take over his place, everything is not the same anymore. Only someone that better than he is can make the different.

Got the picture..?

That is just an example.. To be honest I'm not praise him and currently there is someone had done more damage than he did..
ps/: I'm hapy to live in Selangor coz I don't have to pay bills.. if you know what I mean..

If things keep going like this how average people want to climb higher..?

So many average people can whine because they are slave to the bank, only rich people cannot whine. I wonder how much is the salary to own the bank and how long to reach there? What if family are poor and money pay to help younger brother & sister? Old parent who retired but don't have income and carry illness? The place they stay is rented and don't make enough to accumulate the down payment to buy own house? What if relative need financial assistance?

What can you do if in the above situation to become rich?

The "what if" apply to the silent group and you don't know how many of them, compared to those who can afford to whine and not doing enough. I don't think these modern whiners will help themselves unless something happen that force them to take action.

My parent are poor until we moved to KL and in 10 years, my parent become middle class but bankrupt because my father got his mistress pregnant and business collapse selling everything, my aunt from Singapore took over the house loan and became hers by agreement.

You are reluctant to answer my previous questions because you aren't always right and I am not wrong to tell what you don't know, what does that say about me? Are you disappointed I interrupt your teaching? The world is not the way you describe it.

"Level 2 thinking" as you call it, is just too absurd/farfetched/impractical

OWN the bank? If everyone were to be able to have this thinking imagine how many Tom d*** & Harry OWNs a bank?

Without Mahathir bringing up the economy back in 80s and 90s....do you think he can have such an opportunity to find good employerment and have the chance to make the money? After getting to where he is now, he start to blame.....my goodness....

Applying what you keep saying here,

(A) continue to whine how much the damage that we going to pay. Do nothing.

(B) Find out what to do in order not to be burden

© Move to other place so that you can keep your wealth and be very rich on other country.

So, why waste energy here. What has been done by Mahathir has been done, he is not Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein, nor he is Lee Kuan Yew. U have a choice by staying in Texas after your graduation and i believe your life could have been 1000 times better than now.

Dont misunderstand me as i am not one who support Mahathir here.

This country is filled with corrupted politicians and wasn't entirely Tun M's fault that wasted the advantages, the kind of political stability does provide a conducive environment for businesses to strive and are taken advantage of also abused. Since this topic chant mind over matters, one should find ways to overcome policies or restrictions and absolutely no excuse in dreamer101's term and he become rich.

So, need to bother about NEP and such? Dreamer101, tell us how you defy and triumph rather than an obstacle to investment, show us by example how to overcome those policies so that young people who don't understand what NEP means and won't matter to average people can avoid the shit hole.

seriously you expect seasoned/experienced people like 3dassets, tigerr (just judging from their comments) to believe this?

you keep REPEATING the same story of you changing >10jobs blah blah, but yet you fail to state what kind of jobs/industry/duration for each job

it's just too VAGUE

please, if you dont mind, we love some MORE details not in general

If you ask me, i dont have an answer. However, i do support NEP

Dreamer, again, you did not read properly my message. I do support NEP, but the NEP was implemented badly and being abused. If the NEP was implemented in a proper way, perhaps the outcome could be different. However, NEP shall have a timeline as well.
