Pro-longed gout

Today I managed to find the recipe book for people who hate gout. Available in Amazon called "Gout Haters Book" by Jodi Schneiter. All 3 books cost total of about USD60 plus shipping, however, there is no guarantee that the ingredients enlisted would be economically easy to acquire.

As official, today will be the 7th day my acute gout attack started. In addition to that, my cough seems to be bother not just myself but MB too. She has been bad mood lately and I can see the reason because I share the cause of it.

Firstly it is the cough. It did not just wake her but myself up. Therefore, you can almost understand that for the moment, I haven't been getting enough sleep. Secondly, mood down due to several factors and all pointing to finance. Thirdly, life as how it was since the day we graduated from University is getting harsher for the moment. Lastly, the constant drawbacks for certain challenges promotes procastination.

Despite having 4 particular points, I would like to just elaborate on the 3rd. Why? Simply is that it gives a greater insight of the decision made to this particular point. My education in Malaysia has been preprogrammed and there were no one that tells you life outside is different. We have standard curriculum yet it wasn't enough to prepare us for real life. We do know that when we finish primary, automatic promotion to secondary then perhaps some goes higher secondary and others go polytechnics or private colleges. We also know for the fortunate few, university is ultimate where we taste the life of early adulthood. Then we also were preprogrammed that after university, we should get job and stable income. What happens after that?

Never did that occur to me, that it's not the same. Advantageously we get to dictate our destiny but problem is there won't be a standard progression system that we know during our school days to fall back upon. If you fail in the civilize world, you just fail with everything you have. No risk no pain no gain. In the jungle worst, if you fail, very likely get eaten up.

When we hit something like financial issues in adult life, we are responsible for every action and decisions to counter it. Yet some others need to perform child to parents responsiblity to ensure they too get accomodated into our balance sheet. Many do share that burden yet, in civilization, it's very much a debateable subject.

Therefore, now what happens that my job doesn't provide extra for anything? Work more hours, which a person only have 24 a day if lucky, on something else to acquire the funds by month end because that's where the bills are due. Having highlighting and understand situations like mine, it is very much ideal environment where network marketting prove their compassion captalism to all. Given that understanding and having very bad negative influence of this activity, I cannot see if everyone succeed all at ones. No way does it would work that all will succeed in network marketting,yet they still thrive. In fact if you think about it, in society itself, there is no all winners because it doesn't balance. That boils down to the fundemental of choice.

Let's ponder awhile, perhaps, start a business. What business?
