Rules of the rat race
These are the rules and regulations of the Rat Race. Albeit a humorous look; but there’s some element of truth.
1.Rush to your place of work, avoiding smiling and if you’re driving avoid giving way to other motorists and pedestrians. If you’re on public transport struggle to breathe as you are packed in like a sardine.
2.Whilst at work, sit there all day filling your time sending irrelevant emails and undertaking irrelevant tasks. (Most people with proper use of their time could actually complete their duties in a 1/10th of the time).
3.Rush back home (refer to point 1) to eat your evening meal in front of the TV, go to bed worrying about work.
4.Repeat steps 1,2 and 3 until the end of the month.
5.At the end of the month collect your wages. Pay all your bills including your credit cards statements which you will never pay off. With what’s left save for a holiday but still book the trip using your credit card. Worry further about paying your card off!
6.Book two weeks somewhere nice. Worry about packing your case, loosing your passports, flying etc. After one week look forward to going home to catch up on TV soaps and eating proper food.
7.Repeat steps 1 to 6 until the age of 65, have a few kids along the way, integrate them into the ‘Rat Race’ and teach them the rules. If you’re lucky live for a few years and try to enjoy your retirement with what little good health remains.
These are the rules of the Rat race written by others. Do we really want to follow these rules or it is the way of lifes. Many has try to get out of the rat race but what are the methods to do it ?
Let us escape from the rat race and not bound with commitment that we lay upon ourselves that ties us down.
Find a way to live life to the fullest. Be a blowtorch , not a candle.. let us burn with passion.
