$ and moral

Classes from 3 to 4.30 today for literature which is such a boring sub and continued with Moral classes from 5.00 to 8.. OMG 3 hours,but i entered around 6 :) save an hour, but still too boring and to make things worst, stupid college wifi down.. as usual.

And Moral studies, lecturer was than commenting about how many out there actually chooses your partner using the bottom of your heart rather than the exterior.
And this is when one of the student was quoted saying , " $$$ talks, Bullshit works'.

As much as we hate to agree, but I guess that that's how the world is isn't it? I dunno about you guys, but if you guys were to ask about my honest opinion, i would say , unfortunately yes. I am not here to say, beauty, $$ , rules. But again I would say, it does play an important factor isn't it? Perhaps at the beginning stage.

Frankly speaking, this apply to both guys and girls, if an ugly guy, with gold hair and tattoo all over comes to you to get your number, what would your response be? See?? We would not know whether he has a heart of gold , but the first impression itself has already block us from trying to get to know him or her better.

And there is girl that say, it seems like lecturer is generalizing girls, as though that all girls are like that :) As a guy, I know I shouldn't be saying such thing, but i personally feel that in terms of looking from the outside, guys are definitely the ones that look on the outside more than the girls :)

But again, its very subjective, have you guys met anyone at your age that offers 'services' just to earn an additional income?

But what say you, if i were to tell you that you can definitely find such ppl , and trust me, you wouldn't have believe, if it wasn't from someone that you are close with that told you :) ntg beats a true story isn't it?

And just a random joke we can always hear

If your father is poor,
Its not your fault,
But if your father-in-law is poor,
Thats your stupidity


$ makes the world goes round .

And another issue that he touch on was our moral obligation. For example, if u are an accountant, would you help your company to try to project a lower turnover rate for the income tax department so that company wouldn't need to pay so much for income tax? Morally we shouldn't rite? But come on, that's what accountants are hired for isn't it?

And one thing that caught my attention was when he was saying , so is it right for us to buy stocks today and selling it tomorrow? Buying stocks main purpose is to be a small shareholder of a company , and according to him, buying today and selling off tomorrow is like gambling. So morally its wrong.

Its a very subjective point i would say, no doubt its a form of earning quick bucks, but i personally don't see any wrong, if i would be able to buy the company share at 50 cents and someone offered to buy it at 80 cents the next day, I don't see any reason why it is wrong to sell it off :) But of course, those big players that are manipulating share prices would definitely be another different scenario , we too do have few infamous business personality that manage to earn a big fortune those days by buying one lump sum and dumping it when prices of it rises after being 'goreng' and speculated.

After all like any other stocks books that we read, we know that the market if often irrational and prices of stocks often doesn't portray the company's true value, and we can often find prices of some share that is trading way high above the actual value of the company.
And if you guys have been reading stocks book , you guys will definitely know that 10 over 10 stock markets gurus will say, emotion and greed is what the stock market is made up of.

Greed of jumping into a company stock when we see prices raising from 10 cents to 50 cents in days, heavy volume of trading, makes we greedy people to rush in even if prices reaches 60 cents, as we believe and thought that we might be able to get our self out of the stock at 90 cents, but again, without proper sell-off target, we might get greedy and even start buying more even if it reaches 90 cents, in hoping for it to reach the dollar mark.

But as the saying goes, market is irrational and there would be times where the market is than adapting to its original state and that is where, blind investors ( mostly speculators ) would get the FEAR as ppl starts dumping shares as prices of the company is falling. And at most point, is not a surprise as the company true value might only be 20 cents.

So, speculating would be a way to earn, but make sure we jump into the boat just when the bull is starting to run and make sure we leave before we have a bear market.

:) just my 2 cents of opinion.

But again, $ rules, and without $, knowing so much would just be a general knowledge :P

For those who doesn't want to take a risk, but at the same time want to beat the inflation rate, ( putting at the bank simply means decreasing ur money, as inflation rate is much higher than the bank interest rate )
perhaps the best and safest bet would be buying gold? :) get urself to the nearest Maybank if u guys wan and can check it out urself, min purchase is 5g if i am not wrong :)

Ok enough of crap

Anyway there are things that are very weird when we say it, but when you actually come to think of it again, there's some sense in it :)

1) Once you have bought something, you will find the same item being sold somewhere else at a cheaper rate . True?

2)
When in a queue, the other line always moves faster and the person in front of you will always have the most complex of transactions.

3 )
The door bell or your mobile will always ring when you are in the bathroom

4 )
Irrespective of the direction of the wind, the smoke from the cigarette will always tend to go to the non-smoker


And the other day after club, me and my friend was talking in the car, and we came up with a conclusion that, we have both the rich and the poor in Klang, but for places like damansara, we can bet that ppl there will not be how poor.. They might not be as rich as others, but trust me, they are definitely not poor compare to many others. a little too generalize?

I further agree this when i was driving around damansara housing area, and yea, take a drive down if you guys disagree :)

Thats why u seldom hearing me going down to places like Sri Hartamas, for me, thats a high end places, not my type, and we cannot afford to spend such money :) cause i remember once i went there for Doarae ( dunno spell rite or not ) it was my birthday they ask me where i wanna go, i say there, cause i know peace they all like to eat there, and while they eating, i went down try hunting for fastfood , but tak dapat cari, so ended up eating one mamak shop, and omg, its so freaking expensive.. oh ya, the place i went, even parking around the shoplots also need to pay :) private land i guess?
