Thought of the Day

This morning I was in a bus on the way to work. I noticed a lot of JC's students' shoes are all branded like Nike and at least a Reebok. Wow school student nia leh...wear branded shoes. Even for my own nephew who is now chasing after branded stuff (you know who I'm talking about).

What happen to the world now, why everyone is chasing after brands. Are they chasing after quality or name sake??? Is it a norm now or is it really peers pressure??? People start to show off and compare which "class" your are from...is it the "atas" or "low" class.

Compare to our time, a simple Bata shoes to wear to school is good enough, as for sports shoes we simply go Bata and get Power (the brand). Life was much simpler last time. Everyone is not so brand conscious, I feel people are less materialistic compare to now.

If now it's already like that what will happen in another 10 yrs time when RJ enter his teenage years...How can we start to educate our kids to be contented with what we have....Really we need God's guidance and wisdom!!!
