Or is it the end? Life actually begins at 45. Why do I say that? Silly. Well, listen out here...
Before 45, you are invincible. You can do anything you want and you can achieve it. After 45, there will be a little bit more of challenges for you. That is where the real test of life begins.
Firstly, when you read newspaper, you now have to take off your glasses if you used to have myopia. Wow, great! I don't need to read with glasses anymore! Huray!
Next, you started to get a little worried about what is going on in your office. You have been working with this company for 10 - 15 years. Well the atmosphere starts to get a little different these days. You start to pay more attention to what is going on. Have you heard that they are closing down the Australia's support operation? Oh, yeah, 20 people was let go. Well, sorry for them. Hey, what about here? You have any insider news? Are they closing down here also??? Phew!! Luckily not!
Oh, I got to start to get in touch with some "head hunters" (recruitment agencies). Hey, I'd not written a resume for last 15 years. Ghee, where do I start? Huh, no sweat, just surf the web and download some samples. Hey, don't leave your www.monster.com screen on, your boss is passing by.
Aah ha... Almost forgotten! My Uni classmate just started a recruitment firm recently. Must get in touch him soon. See if he has anything interesting... Ah, remember to call him tomorrow.
Hmm.. Oh yeah, almost forgotten to pay my daughter's ballet school fee, what about the arts lesson and piano lesson? Need to make sure that she does her home work and practice her music too later. Huh, she needs to go for a holiday science camp? Oh how much is it? Ah, $235 for 3-days?
Need to pay the mortgage and car instalment too. Let's see how much I have left for my expenses. .... Can't meet my friend for a drink this week... Maybe next month.
