What is the purpose of life?

This sounds like the beginning of a pressimistic write up.
But no la, it is not going to be the case.

I am the so called post 65 generation.

As I get older, this question of what is the purpose of life seems to pop up on my mind more often than not. Maybe it is because i have spent too much time in work. My work is rather heavy going as a senior executive in a hospital. A lot of concerned colleagues and friends are wondering how do i cope. Well, just do lor. As the youngest senior executive, i am probably paid the least and salary amount diluted with large number of hours that i have put in work.

But seriously, work is merely to provide food, shelter and maybe security (in terms of finances).
Why work so hard??

On the other hand, if one don't carve out a career in her 20s and 30s, one will really get no where when she is 40 or so, especially in this highly competitive city. And the worst part is to get rejected when one seeks out jobs enuthsiastically, and experienced the dejecting feelings. This is how mean this society can be.

I must confess that i do not know a lot of things, and i hope to read and travel more, but sometimes time and money are limiting factors.

Anyway, whatever it is, a person don't have many decades in this earthy world, breathing in the oxygen and consuming the earthy resources. Make good use of the time that i am being allocated - do good for others, treat myself better.

Don't complain anymore. Life itself is a irony at times. But live a life without regrets.
