Philosophy Gone Wrong - The Grasshopper and the Ant

Once upon a time, there lived an ant and a grasshopper. The grasshopper does nothing else but jump around and play. On the other hand, the ant is so hardworking, looking for food all day long and storing them in it's nest.

Looking at his hardworking friend work so hard, the grasshopper asked, "Hey, Ant! You don't have to relax ah? Always busy one. Come and play with me lah."

To which the ant replied, "I can't lah, I have to store all these food."

"Haiyah! Relax lah. Why u bother storing all these food? When u hungry just go find lah." the grasshopper replied.

"Eh,cannot lah. I have to standby for the coming winter season. Then I no need to panick mah. I think u oso better standby u know," the ant advised his friend.

"Where got time...I go play better. U wanna store food u go ahead lah. I will look for someone else to play with me ok.. bye!" And hop goes the grasshopper.

The Ant is a hardworking guy... oops i mean insect. Not like the grasshopper. But as days, weeks, months go by, the winter still has not come yet and the ant is still seen searching and storing food.

The two friends happen to meet again. "Hey Ant! U stil haven't finished storing food ah? Last time all the food go where liao? So fast finish already ah?" asked grasshopper.

"I got keep but all overdue liao. So cannot eat anymore. All because winter not here yet. Now i have to go and look for new food." sighed the ant.

"But ant ah.. U dun mind i ask ah.. Did u ever have a thought that Singapore where got winter one?" asked the grasshopper again.

"AHHHH????!!!!!" the ant was shocked!

Moral of the Story:

The moral of the story is whatever u do better think properly first. Dun anyhow hantam only... :) Sometimes we get too busy in life and following our routine too tightly but most importantly, work towards where you wanna go in your life, what is it that you want, is that what you REALLY want, what's your dream, are you moving towards your dream? If it's not, dun just keep on working hard n keep on hantaming only just because someone in your life tells you that this is the way and just
because everyone else is doing it !!

Don't just keep on working hard with no direction ....... focus in the direction of your life not your work.
Plan your life, Live life cool. :P
