    thinking。。。

    Came across an article about a 17 year old young lady:
    "Ciesemier suffers from a rare liver disease and at age 11 was facing her second liver transplant. But she asked friends not to send gifts: “How many teddy bears do you really need?” Instead, having learned about AIDS orphans in Africa, she requested that well-wishers donate to World Vision, an international charity."
    Indeed the question to ask is how many of whatever we are asking for do we REALLY need? I'm ashamed to say that there are many things I want more than I need. Like a pair of shoes for running, another for climbing, another for casual, another one for basketball etc.

    In such a consumer driven society, it really takes quite a fair bit to be able to stand out and not buy into what the advertisements are saying u need... So maybe it's a good thing I dun have much $$...
