What have the world become?

I have been asking myself this question.

Why people want to be at the top for most of the things they do?

When did the world become so competitive?

People just want to strive in almost every field.

Everyone wants to be an all-rounder.

Even some kids are forced to learn all sorts of things when they are young because they think that kids pick up things faster when they are young. (That’s true though). This is a battle between kid’s childhood vs. the more skills learned the easier life will be for he kids when they grew up (this is for your own good). This often results in many of us losing our childhood to be forced to learn some skills. I am thinking that the parents actually can know their kids interest and make decision over what should e thought to the kids and perhaps provide them with their own choices and give them some limited freedom like how British granted limited self-government to Singapore in the past.

Why can't we just be ourselves, enjoy life, sit back and relax. Why people just likes to "chiong" for everything and ended up with lots of injury (setbacks).

That all I want to say. Actually there is too much to be said but I just want to stop here. (Pardon my poor English) By the way, 21st June is my birthday...hehe =)
