lessons to be learnt

here's wad a financial analyst will say:
spread your eggs in many baskets.. do lower risk. watch your risk appetite so that you can formulate a portfolio. in this market of flux and the impending financial crash, do be more prudent with your money. where there is excess, there will eventually be something that restores it. there is no such thing as high risk high return.

here's wad a food nutritionist will say:
you must always remember to balance your diet with fruits, vegetables and meat. red meat and white meat must be eaten in moderation. do remember to drink lots of water too. you must make an effort to consume enough vitamins too. if you are having stomach queasiness you might want to take soft food to allow any bad toxins to clear from the weakened stomach

here's wad a baby doctor will do(sorry dunno wad is the technical name; don't bother to know either):
baby has weak teeth.. do feed him soft food. if the baby cries he needs attention. it could be that he is hungry or that something is uncomfortable somewhere. do not ignore his calls. make an effort to keep him clean and dry to prevent any bacterial growth. milk must be warm when given to him, this is very important as it may scald his tongue if too hot.

here's wad my mom can and always says:
boy ah, queue there. i queue here. see who reach first den we pay at that counter. too long the queue doesnt mean we cannot chiong; see which cashier faster only. remember this when you clearing customs also. otherwise if 4 boeing 747 touchdown you just end there 2hours. thailand especially.
boy ah, drink more water please. you ahve not been drinking. boy ah, can you stop playing your game(while i am most concentrated in the dota game of my life). take more fruits, can help you if constipation. eat things dont eat too salty, not gd for body.
boy ah, you lao sai whole morning already. do you want me make porridge?
of course, for the baby example i cant really remember that already :p so sorry.

but of course. here's the point of the message.
i dont understand why we need them around.
to teach us wad we know?
or to soothe us that someone knows?
to kid us that we know less and hence need to learn more?
or just so that people can have jobs.
ironically, they earn much much much more than any average family in town. more than my mom.
my mom does/did the work of all 3 combined.

though, i have yet to repay this debt.
