21

I wonder if any of you knows what is the meaning of 21 years old? Is it simply brings the meaning of transformation from a teenager to adult? Or it shows that 21-year-old should has the ability to bear with all the responsibilities by thinking the right things, saying the right things and doing the right things? From the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", there is an important lesson that i think everyone of us should know : Do NOT let emotion control your thinking.

Nowadays, many people are facing a lot of stress, and from there, they start to let their emotion control them: complaining their problems all the time instead of finding a way to solve it, always feel that they deserve more (I mean those graduates with a lot of theories behind them but do not know how to apply them), and those who stop thinking just because they feel confused about their future direction (confuse leads to furious). All these happen over and over again to anyone of us, and yet we still let the power of emotion overpower us. How many of us really think that they are 21 years old and at the same time they cant make people feel so?

Reality is not always that simple, and there are traps everywhere. Once we get ourselves into it, it is hard to turn back because the trap is going to haunt you for the rest of your life. You wont feel the effect immediately but it is inexorable. Believe me, if there is any company telling you that they are doing something to benefit the society ONLY, they are talking bull shit. Everything in this world involves business, no matter it is a manufacturer or hospital. You got the money, you rule. I read an article from Reader Digest where it says that money can actually relieve our pain literally. Do you believe that? Neither do i, but that is the fact. What i want to say is that i can be nice and sentimental, but at the same time i have to be strong and harsh to face this society because i have my loved ones to protect. This is what i am going to be. In this dog-eat-dog world.
