Daddy and Mummy once said to their kid : "If you get top 5 in class, Mummy will bring you for a overseas holidays."
So the kid studied hard to be the best. Knowing that she is not the best in class, but she strive to do her very best.
And yes, Daddy and Mummy brings you for a holiday to Indonesia. Nearby. Indonesia is nearby. Even if it is nearby, but that is the reward that you worked for. And the kid knows its not easy for her family to afford it. When eating out even in a coffeeshop is already expensive.
But imagine if the kid don't have to work for it anymore and get the trips just as well. Do you think it is as memorable?
Everything that Daddy and Mummy buys, was a reward. A new schoolbag. A new pencil case. With is so simple, yet it was based on terms that the kid work for it.
Then, Daddy and Mummy was the "money" to get you things you worked for.
Now, The theory is the same.
Because you work for it. Simply that. Not hard to understand.
Sometimes even if we have grown up. The basic theory still exist. The basic that Daddy and Mummy onces said to the kid. "You want to get something. You work for it."
Yet, its not simple to understand.

Emotional Value
Remember the feeling when you work your ass off to afford your first Braun Buffel wallet.
Remember the feeling when you work 2 years just to save up for the future and blow it all over in 1 trip to London.
Remember how hard it was to depart with a hundred dollars for the wallet and how heartpain to blow off all your 2 years savings for a trip to London.
Yet, it was memorable. Because these things are hard earned. And you made it. Though the value of the money is low as compared to current situation, yet, the value was so great.
Remember the first watch after working a year to afford it. That, was sense of acheivement.
Remember the second watch on your 23rd birthday. That, was a birthday gift for your own achievement. A reward. To be able to afford one that you like.
The first bag was of that value just as well.
Subseqently, all that follows lost its value. Not the value of the money. Yet, the emotional value. All that follows lose the emotional value. They don't mean as more anymore.
A bag is just like a bag. A bag to contain your stuff.
No longer a bag that was worth the sense of achievement and reward to myself.
Emotional value is when you know its worth. Emotional value is when you know the value in which this amout could do for yourself.
Emotional value is when it buys happiness. True happiness, simple little thing called happiness.
Simple little thing of knowing someone likes it. Simple thing of knowing that it makes a difference in someone's life. Simple thing of knowing it could possibly transform someone elses life. Simple thing that we all have, but some people will never have. Like a year of education. Like a pencil.
This give you a sense of inner happiness. To know that someone out there, appreciates this little things that might mean nothing to you, but mean a little difference to them. A year of education to us might not get us anywhere. But a year of education to others means the basic means of literacy. Literacy that could possibly lead them to a better life.
This is when the money works its wonder, not for you, but for others. And in return, this brings out its emotional value. The value of being able to achieve someone else's little dream, someone else's little smile.
Monetry value last only so much. But when you know, others benefits from it. When you know this could help mould a kids future, be it your own flesh or others less priviledge. When you know it could provide a shelter for others.
This is its real value. A sense of achievement. When you know, what you worked your ass off for, and how much worth it brings for working so hard for.

勇敢
解脱- A Mei
"解脱 是懂擦干泪看以后 找个新方向往前走
这世界辽阔 我总会实现一个梦
心里有一种渴望勇敢的念头..."
~ A Mei - 解脱
本来就是一场游戏。游戏里默默写着的规则，我没忘记。
心里偶尔也会有那沉重的伤感，但也默默渴望游戏不会结束。
但是，事实就是事实，再渴望，也是不会有任何的改变。
在你的未来里，我看不到，也感觉不到我的影子。
本来就是如此，不是吗？
在那无可避免的离别时，我希望我会有勇气对着这一个没有将来，但很美好回忆说的说："谢谢你。再见。"
离别时不再哭泣，不再伤感，不再渴望，也不在自私。。。
