Rubbish Talk

I'm the quick and easy type of person. Anything fast and fuss-free is my cup of tea~ 

I'm sure I'm not the only one~ Looking at the number of "instant" products in the market, it's easy to conclude that today's people want to achieve "more" with less time. 

Just look at our rubbish bin... 
80% of these instant food taken by my colleague!


Time is precious. It's good that we achieve the same result with minimal effort.. I remember when i was small, our home was always filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee every morning. Although i was too young to take caffeine drink, i loved the smell... These days everybody is into instant drinks. In seconds, we get a cup of latte without actually buying a carton of milk or a glass of teh tarik without really "pulling the tea"! We could even get a plate of yummy Italian spaghetti in less than 15 mins. All u need to do is just cook some noodles and chuck in the bottled sauce~  Can u see how dependent we are on instant products? But everything comes with a price (yeah, the theory of "there is 2 sides of a coin")...

The instant thingie can be bad if care is not exercised because when we are used to not putting much effort, it becomes part of our ways of doing things. You see, many people expect 'instant' answers without doing the thinking. People become impatient because they think everything should be fast. People want to make more money with minimal cost and effort, hence the black-hearted (artificial) products 黑心食品 .... People become less appreciative of others' hardwork because they feel that everything is easy. Some people do not work hard as they expect money will just fall from the sky....

I mean, it's OK to simplify things to make complicated things less confusing (life is complicated as it is anyway)... but taking shortcuts by not doing some important bits and pieces will bring big negative impact...  Whichever path you choose, you are creating your own destiny. Difficult things are not the always enjoyable but the fruits are definitely sweet~ Since you are basically the affected party, why make your own life difficult, right? 

Wow! I can speak wise words just by looking at our rubbish bin! Hmmm... my sisters said my IQ is zero! How wrong they are! haha...

IQ zero person can speak so much wise words out of rubbish? than i must be IQ negative.

BTW, we have come to a stage where coffee does not consist of coffee bean, cheese that is not made from milk. that's why i rarely eat processed food nowadays, better stick to fresh food.
