Imagine u wanted to spend time with ur family, but you are pulled to attend endless useless meeting, which means u can just there without doing your work and doing what u intended. How would u feel? <br /><br />I'll feel that I've wasted my life. And I hate it. <br /><br />Not all work are productive and not all non-work unproductive ;) la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-1017556973267344642015-06-17T08:41:55.608+08:002015-06-17T08:41:55.608+08:00Hi LP,

It's a much more enjoyable ride, than the more efficient and less comfortable mrt rides. It's all about striking the right balance so that we don't fall into extremes :)la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-69631643435484942552015-06-16T06:11:26.834+08:002015-06-16T06:11:26.834+08:00Hi LP

Frugality is just about to stretch our resources, be it money, time or other resources. <br /><br />I hate travelling long hours too just to save few buck but I do plan activities unique to that areas if I really can save big buck. If I live in my comfort zone, I may forever visit that few places in my life for convenience and I don't know what I have missed in life. This is why some people choose to cycle around the world than taking plane. It is a waste of time if your objective is to touch every country, but you got the whole new experience that the plane mode can't give you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-83308035992758304722015-06-15T22:31:52.808+08:002015-06-15T22:31:52.808+08:00Hi Rolf,

Let the shallow ones look at the images and symbols you carry, while the deeper people wonder and reflect on the whys and the hows! I agree - end of the day it's about optimization of time/money or efficiency. <br /><br />I love it when Gandalf in the Lord of the rings said, "A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to". If I am to be so bold as to change this classic line, it'll be this:<br /><br />"A frugal person never spends less, nor spends more but he spends his resources precisely as he means to".la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-81612218158077500532015-06-15T22:26:47.522+08:002015-06-15T22:26:47.522+08:00Hi bro8888,

They always think otherwise upon seeing the things I buy and have. Frankly, it does not really bother too much to me what others think, more importantly, I know how much I earn or spend and have my own financial planning. <br /><br />My close friends and wife know better that I have big respect for value of money! End of the day, it is all about being productive and optimal allocation of time and money. <br /><br />"I don't like to waste a drop of time doing nonsense, and I don't like to waste other people's time too." - SUPER LIKE IT!
