Singaporeans slow down and smell the roses

As Singapore grapples with a severe downturn, Singaporeans might want to take another look at their values. What really motivates and make us happy? Is it the pursuit of wealth or material things? Would we be hapy if we got that coveted condominium or dream sports car?

People in Singapore are always rushing, and as they struggle to make a living, they are seldom able to find time to build relationships. They have no time to slow down and smell the roses. Life simply passes them by.

Singaporean spend the weekend catching up on lost sleep after having worked 10 hour days. They are slaves to their work.

As you enjoy the festive season, take some time to ask yourself if you are truly happy with who you are, and whether there are things you can improve on.
