However, recently I had a conversation with a close friend of mine which really prompt me to blog about it, and maybe put some additional thoughts into it.
Many people, or to be more specific, many teenagers around my age who are going to leave the comfortable and spoon-feeding environment of the school, consider education as something less important compared to money. Now, we do see this kind of topics during our exams, be it BM, BC or BI. The tittle would sound like this :" Money? Knowledge? Which weighs heavier?" Yeah, something like this. And, the funny thing is, many students love to write topics like this. They said that it's actually very easy to score cause more or less, you know what to write. Obviously, knowledge is much more important. Bla Bla Bla.. All the contents and BOOM, you get a good result. But what I am trying to say here, is about application and mentality. Yes, you can write well, your sentences can be remarkable but that doesn't mean that you understand what you're writing actually .
So, this thought, which originated from the conversation with my friend, really is something. What I heard was that quite a number of young people actually consider money, or feel that money (be it Ringgit or Paun Sterling or Dolar) is much more important and glamorous than knowledge (academic). Regarding this, I really have a lot to say due to my current environment which proves this statement to be more true. For instance, there are many girlfriends who demand their boyfriend to buy this and buy that for them. Indirectly, one of the requirements of a boyfriend must be cash. They don't bother whether that guy is a nut or a lunatic or some stupid moron, as long as he is fat in his pocket, then he's the best of the best. In order more funny words, there won't be the best because we can't actually count money, isn't it so?
Well, so this kind of thoughts, this kind of mentality have been dominating many girls and as a result, the boys too. They see it as a must to have at least RM100 in their wallet before they go dating with their girlfriend. And in all these "trend", girls tend to compare, as it is what they are made of. They will compare their boyfriends with other girl's boyfriend. They would say that my boyfriend will do this and do that for me and if the other girl thinks that her current boyfriend is not that good, then the relationship will have a major problem. Okay, this is the phenomena we have for it.
Now, I am going to place my comment as a reply for this current matter. Of course, anyone who like to put a word about this is always welcome.
Looking from the boy's view
I would rather think that if the boy gives a welcoming respond to the girl's request for material satisfaction, then the boy has lost his balls. Well I know that it's quiet rude to say that but I guess that's the best description. So for those guys who have plenty of cash but nothing in the brain, he thinks that he is superior, he is above the others cause the chicks like him. As we can see here that this thinking is totally wrong. As a result of it, we will have students who are ignorant and unbelievably hostile towards teachers in the school. Why? Cause they think that they are damn rich and by owing this key point, they are great. At the age of 16, 17 and maybe 18, having too much money will be a workshop for the devil. We do not know how to handle money wisely. Worst, there are girls around to stimulate us. Thus, one who has a lot of money and is welcomed warmly by girls, surely will lose focus for other aspects in life which as a matter of fact, are more important than his current possession. So, to my opinion, this have a kind chain effect which will cause or maybe aggravate other problems.

Guys, come on, don't embarrass we men. A girl who likes your money more than what you are. Come on! Think! Think! Think! Will this girl continue to love you or support you when you have nothing at all? I am sure the answer will be 99.9999999% NO! Use your brain PLEASE!

Looking from the girl's view
So, girls, if you really like a guy who only has money and money only, think about it again. Will his money last forever? There is a Chinese maxim which sounds like sit and eat finish. That's right. That guy that you like, indeed he has a lot of money but think about it, whose money is that in the first place? Yeap, his parents. So, he is depending on his parents to satisfy you. And what if one day, his parents are gone? What will happen? Hence, for those females who love $$$ so much, please, be smarter cause at the end of it, money is vanity.
Hmmm... Anything I missed out here?
Please give me your comments because I think that this is very important so the more who agree with it and have other opinions, the better.

Most will choose money no matter what you say, and many will learn this cold, hard fact sooner or later. Besides, money becomes more important as we grow older and it is not uncommon to find it being put on the altar as an idol. If we have friends that are as mentioned, we may try our best, not absolute best, but an amicable effort, to help him/she see light.
in that case, I have succeeded in helping this friend of mine. ^^
Good things come in pair. Most important is our parents. If boys/girls want to use the Geary-Khamis dollar as a yardstick, then I presume a true love is hard to find.For those born with silver spoon, in Chinese, "Very Good" pronounce as "Si Peh Ho".
I regale how Sir Tan Cheng Lock grandfather "locked his fortune for 84 years",and only opened in 1964. It's because his 4 sons are useless and only waiting for his fortune. They drown crying "Si Peh Boh Ho"
yeah... thx for agreeing ^^
Sadly, world is changing, and we cant stop all this mutation, maybe only with the strength of GOD.
the strength of God = the return of God
