Economy
What popped out in your mind when you read the title of this post?
Yes, I mean "Economy"!
Money?? Is that all?
Then what's the difference between economy and accounting? Both are related to dollars signs (which currently I am in need of **sigh**)
Well, Accounting is more to digits and no thinking of externalities required.
On the other hand, Economy required one to think beyond what we are thinking.
From the greek of οἰκονόμος (read:Oikos Nomos), which means managing households
And it's just too bad, I'm interested in it, but not very good in it.
**another sigh**
Well, I'm just about to finish the book "The Undercover Economy", shall finish it tomorrow if there is no detour. =)
And I liked the quote from the book, which is quoted from some well-known Economics, which I've forgotten and I'm dead lazy to go and grab the book.
It goes like this, with modification to suit my style, of course:
"Doing something is not about competing with others. It's about what you do best, or at least doing something better in what you did the least worse!"
Took me some time to really understand what the sentence is telling. You can try it too =)

Life is but a GAME
Was up late this morning due to some coffee-time with Shawn 2am in the morning.
Well, it's a experience I've ever had, getting lost in this small but complicated Singapore.
But it's true that if you know the expressways in Singapore, driving is much easier.
Back to this morning, I continued reading the book, "The undercover Economics".
There, they do mention about game theory. And I thought for a while, "Hey, this life is also nothing but a game!"
You know what you have.
You may not know what's in others' possession.
So, what can you do?
Increase the bet the best you could,
and watch how they play the game?
Or, would you just back out and watch the game?
Ironically, there are people who fail from both sides.
Either, they don't have enough resources to keep up with their competitor
Or, they just don't have the courage to whisk away their opponent.
But, there is always way out for everything.
Why can't we just share our information, and instead of competing with each other, we agreed to thing like, "Let someone get this thing, but in return, he need to give us something."
-to be continued-
1.30 pm and I need to get back working

Nothing to post
Nothing to post recently
Hectic life.
Time with friends
Well, well, aside from the feeling is mixed, I just can't post anything else.
She's cold, towards me. I'm trying to be warm, it's just that I'm too cold to be warm
**sigh**
Hope everything is okay.
