Enquire, Earn and Enjoy

The typical human life is made up of 3 main stages. These 3 stages are the enquiring stage, the earning stage and lastly the enjoying stage.

The enquiring stage in this context means the learning stage. Well, all of us enter this world as babies. We learn how to crawl, to walk and run. Enquiry also includes formal educations from pre-school to tertiary education or even higher. The enquiring part of our life is taking up more and more percentage of our lives compared to the past decades where our grandparents only spend less than 20 years for this stage.

After much time spent on enquiring, it's time we start to earn for a living. We started as freshmens, with salary ranging from a few hundrend bucks to couple of thousand dollars per month. After several decades when our income has reach it's peak, most of us will start worrying about retrenchment. For those who are lucky, their children will be independent enough to find their own source of income. For those who are not, it'll be a tough time for them.

Finally, time to enjoy. After half a life time of slavery, some people would have quite a bit of a fortune to enjoy life. However, many will not have the health or time to do that.

Enquire, earn and enjoy is just a typical frame of a human life. Are you one of those typical humans? Which stage of your life are in you? Most importantly, are you happy with this kind of life?
