meaning of life

You might not be aware, but there is a Reddit post, “What’s the meaning of life in this fast-paced Singapore for you?” blew up in the Singapore Online scene. He is a 65 years old guy sharing his life and will be retiring soon.

I feel grateful when I compare my life with what the person has described, although I m still pretty far from retired.

I work independently to keep myself away from all the office politics & toxic colleagues. I am working hard to pay the bill, especially with a new life going to join me soon; having three kids is not easy, but I m staying in Malaysia, which has lower living expenses.

I work extra hours at night or over the weekend, but at the same time, I have extra spare time for my kids or even go out for a buffet lunch with my wife on weekdays. So, besides most of the nighttime, I m trying to build products that give me product satisfaction and generate new income.

I guess the meaning of life for me now is to convert from selling time for money to selling products for money so that I can spend more time for myself and my family.
