My Emotional Dream - The Dream that Always Make Me Cry.

My dream is very simple.

[[[To cancel the word "expensive" in my dictionary.]]]

Since young, my parents teach us not to waste money, choose those with "cheap and good". Cheap and good quality, cheap and good service, cheap and happiest, cheap and tastiest, cheap and enjoy, cheap and relax, cheap and comfortable.

Being myself as the elder son in family for 22 years, I had been told as the above. However what my parents taught me is actually not happening, and it became even harder now.

The main reason behind this is very simple. That’s because our income doesn’t increase as fast as inflation and this mean we are getting poorer day by day. The word “cheap” is no longer exist and disappearing in my mind. By the time of our children generation, I believe they don’t even know the meaning of “cheap”, because they will never experience it if we don’t do anything now!

Beside our children in future, my parents are now 52 & 46. I remember few months back, my dad said something that shock me and I can’t forget this for my life. He said:

“I think I am going to extent my retire age to 60 instead of 55.”
It is impossible that my dad love his job, and I know he say this because he know if he retire at the age of 55, our family will not have sufficient income to survive. As the elder son in the family I feel really guilty and sad even when I write this now. Why am I so useless, I can’t even get my parents to retire and enjoy life after raising me for 22 years!

At this moment of time, my friends Haw Sim and others actually post me a question, “Do you want to be successful in 20 to 50 years or 2 to 5 years?”. After doubting for a while, I answered to myself, I want to be success in 2 to 5 years, I want my parents to see me as a successful man! Moreover, success is not enough! I want to remove the word “expensive” from my dictionary as well as my parents dictionary. I said it and I mean it!

This is really a simple dream, just to remove the word “Expensive” I believe I can do it .

The last thing I want to say to my parents is that:
“DAD, MUM, WAIT FOR ME, ONLY IN 2 TO 5 YEARS, I WANT BOTH OF YOU TO RETIRE AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE & THIS WILL LAST FOREVER! THANK YOU DAD, MUM, I LOVE YOU!”
