Actually life can be very fragile yet precious.aybe I grew up in a poor and tough environment, feeling depressed feel weak to me. Other than my parents, most people didn't give me much help. So I worked my way to what I am today, I believed 70% on my my own 25% help by my parents and probably only 5% is luck. I have not seen any things I got by luck, not toto, not 4D and not even a lucky promotion opportunity... My ex scolded me that I need to thank ti gong for what I had, including the tiny car I was driving and wanted to put a TI gong altar in our future home should we get married, I cannot accept that and separated from her.

So, I'm here mostly by myself, many unfortunate things happened to me throughout...the only lucky thing maybe, found my current wife that even my mother don't believe I will have a long lasting blissful marriage simply because she is too beautiful... I took a leap of faith thought with some thoughtful consideration. We have kids and life went into another round of twist and turns...

We should throw our kids into the jungle to fend for themselves... If jungle is too much, throw them into a less safe place like Malaysia, Indonesia, China or more scary Europe and America... Let them learn to survive on their own, think will have less depression ... Someone's going to say depression is sickness... Our previous generations never had depression... Oh no, just going to contradict myself, was told my gorgeous cousin sister seemed to have died of depression when her family refusing to tell more....

My point, go out ask that girl next door out, get. Change of your life, you don't know life will be better or worse, looking at ts, he will get worse staying his current course... Not knowing how to dig himself out of the ditches.

I have known people who are wealthy but still aim to become even wealthier.

For some, it's simply a personal goal — net worth is like a high score to them. Some want to set the highest score, while others strive to beat their own. Others focus on preserving their wealth. And for some, it's about enjoying the attention and prestige that come with money.

It’s similar to how people approach their careers. Some are driven to climb the corporate ladder as high as possible, aiming for the top title or the biggest office. Others are more focused on personal growth — outdoing their past performance or mastering their craft. Some prioritize job security and stability, while others thrive on recognition, influence, or the status that comes with their role..

@Shion you just need to focus on a goal.
My point is wealthy or not, every individual has his or her problem. We wouldn’t know the exact problem unless we know them directly. But I can say usually the problem is family issues like disharmony for the wealthy / family with significant assets.

As for goals, this is not the point of discussion, but yes, everyone should have goals, and it should not just be about career and financial goals.

I was amazed by computer when the first one I saw at the school was recording basic program into cassette tapes... I only envied my rich friends have their Atari and Apple computer when I was secondary. I do not have any computer until I started working...I also don't dare to date any of those super juicy undergrad girls who visited me at my hostel room in the middle of the night... Because I knew I have no money.... I don't want to spend my mother's hard earned money on chasing girls....so, I'm no better than you.

Ts believed u are no longer interested and suitable for ur accounting career.
Maybe try a career switch to something that is less stressful though lower pay.
Even if it's shift or weekend job.
Prepared to accept a fifty percent pay reduction.

You may be right on this.

Go complete your CPA/CA

Completing of modules is no issue for me.

Fulfilling the 3-year work experience criteria is also not an issue.

But finding someone to sign off my work experience has been a challenge. So far, only managed to get an ex-manager who was willing to sign for just 4 months (only worked with him for this short period before he left that company). The rest either not willing to sign, or say will sign but no sound from them after I submitted the required documents to them, or some other pattern(s) come out. I am not a fan of pressing people for answers or pressing people do something. Ask once, ask twice, if no or lacklustre response, I move on and find another way out...

Cant get things right.
Cant take back control.
Cant do things properly.
Cant meet the right people.
Cant make things work in my favour.

Lost my sleep.
Lost my mood.
Lost my appetite.

Fall back to my hobbies.
Unable to feel the same.
Lost my interests with my hobbies.

No mood, no heart to do anything.
Just struggle. Then make more mistakes. Then become my fault. Then thrown under the bus. Pay for other people's problems.
Consider mindfulness course

Brahm has a introductory course, look for "foundation course", can use skillsfuture

It's alright to fail. What is not alright is not learning from failure. The Japanese have a saying - fall six times; get up seven. It's not about the falling. Its about getting up and pushing forward.

Actually you learn more from your mistakes than from your successes. The greatest learnings come from our mistakes.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "People can stop you temporarily but only YOU can stop yourself permanently." Don't give others permission to stop you permanently.

One day you will look back at your mistakes and realise that they did not stop you from getting better. They were merely bumps in your journey of life. The best is yet to come, my friend. Persevere and you will succeed!

I may add that after trying your best giving everything you've got many times but still not succeeding, must accept the reality and outcome and move on. Only the person will know what and where that acceptance point is.

And the Japanese still have one of the most failure- and risk-averse culture around... So there's that.
