48 hours of time

Everybody is running with time. Seconds gone, minutes gone, hours gone, days gone, months gone, years gone ... Time simply just won't stop for us.

The pace of living is getting faster and faster. Everyone is working 8 hours a day officially, but unofficially, everyone is working late. One hour become two hours, two hours become three hours. Basically everyone is working more than 8 hours a day, or our working place becomes the home for us where we spend most of our time.

Is this situation unavoidable in a country who keeps growing?

Can we really balance both our working life and personal life?

Do we really need to sacrifice our personal life for our work?

Is this really worth it?

Why our bosses go home earlier than us? Why are we the ones who always stay back to clear our work?

Is our bosses smarter than us? Or just that they know how to delegate the tasks to their staff?

No matter where you work, this is a situation where it is unavoidable and is common.

When you go for interview, the interviewer will definitely ask you, "Are you prepared to work late?" or they will just tell you straight in the face that the job is demanding and requires commitment.

Does working late means that you are committed?

Working late implies working experiences? Is this what experience is all about?

No matter what, all of us only have 24 hours a day. No matter how committed we are in our job, we only have 24 hours a day. One hour of working late means one hour lesser for your personal life.

So career is more important? Or personal life is more important?

time is the ONLY resources that is too LIMITED!


Don't waste your TIME!



time is RUNNING OUT!
