離家，是為了回家。。。We left home seeking to return one day…

We left home seeking to return one day…
今天聽了夥伴的夢想板，感觸良多。
加上回想起上個星期六，帶了母親一同去參加女神，董宥均的地方研討會，眼淚不禁在眼眶打滾。
当下，就想到這句話，“離家，是為了回家。。。”
有多少親人朋友從馬來西亞來到新加坡工作，為的就是能賺多一點錢拿回家讓家人過好日子。
但是，甚麼是好日子？錢，要賺多少才夠？
之前就看了一份報導，如果說你每三個月回家一次，假設你父母還有三十年與你一同共度，是否發現你只能多見他們120？
那么，在假設每一次回家三天，其實你剩下與他們相處的日子只剩360天，比一年還少！
我們很多人都很安逸，尤其是居住在新加坡的我們。
大多數人，從沒想過，有一天你的老闆可以毫無理由叫你馬上收拾走人。
試想，頓時你會變成怎麼樣？
是否，已經做好準備，有了備胎？
就算有的話，是否足夠？
沒有人想要失敗，但是卻有很多人不願付出努力去爭取自己想要的。
沒有一件事是容易的，但是你真的要沒有嗎？
如果，現在放棄了與家人的相處是為了將來所有的時間都能陪他們，你是否願意？
但是，以這些放棄的時間來打工，加班，光做一些沒有產值的事，到頭來很抱歉，你或許與家人的時間已到此為止。
當你父母離開後，若你也有自己的家庭，依然重複你這幾年在做的事，你只會得到同樣的結果。
每天都走同樣的路，永遠不能帶你到不同的地方。
在你離開的時候，你的孩子也即將重複你的一生。。。
今天的你，是否在為將來奮鬥，所做的一切是否能為你帶來財富，時間自由，健康的體魄來陪伴你的家人？
若還沒有，是時候好好深思這問題了。。。
我感恩自己已經做好準備並為母親與我未來的小家庭努力奮鬥。
家族翻身從小小的我開始。。。
Heard our partner shared her dream board today, emotions filled my heart.
To add on, I have just brought my Mum along to attend my goddess, Stacy Tung's local seminar over the weekends, tears welled up in my eyes.
At that moment, this sentence came to mind, "We left home seeking to return one day..."
We have many family members and friends coming to Singapore from over the causeway to earn a living, hoping that they can bring more money back home and give their family a good life.
But, what exactly is a good life?
Money, how much is enough?
Not so long ago, I read a report. Let's assumed you return home every 3 months and that you have another 30 years with your parents, did you even realized you would only be seeing them for another 120 times?
On top of that, if we were to go home for 3 days each time, you would only have 360 more days with them, even less than a year!
We are too complacent, especially those living in Singapore.
Most of us have never even thought that one day, our boss can just ask us to pack and go immediately.
Imagine that, what would become of you at that moment?
Are you ready or have you had a Plan B?
If you have, is it enough to last you?
No one wants to fail, but there are too many people who are not willing to put in efforts to get what they want.
Nothing is easy, but do you really want nothing?
If by giving up the time to be with your family now is to exchange spending the rest of your life with them in future, are you willing?
However, if you are using this time that you have sacrifice to work for others, do overtime, waste your time on doing stuff with no value at all, sorry to say, you would find yourself having no time for your family left in the end as well.
When your parents leave this world and if by then you have your own family, you would still be getting the same results if you are still doing what you have been doing your whole life.
Walking the same path everyday would not bring you to a different destination.
When you leave this world, your children would also take on the same you you had.
Today's you, have you started to strive hard for your future, whatever that you have been doing, will it bring you financial and time freedom, a healthy body to accompany your family?
If you have not, it is time to give this a serious thought...
I am glad I have already started planning and striving hard for my Mum and my future little family of my own.
Changing the destiny of our family starts with the little me...
