knowledge is scary
i was studying tax law today n it suddenly dawned upon me how scary a knowledgeable person could be.
there's no denying that the world is v knowledge-based nowadays. like what one of my gang (thou i cant remember who) said: one of the reason y tuition is so well paid is because there's a transfer of knowledge. n this is just a simple eg to show how much people value knowledge. u can also see that as the top organisations use top remuneration package to get the talents they want.
when u have more knowledge than the person next to u, u r always at an advantage n u can manipulate the situation to ur advantage, simply because u noe more than that person. n of course, tt is based on the assumption that the person is able to apply his knowledge to his benefits.
a lawyer can manipulate his way ard the way better than a normal person. an accountant can read the financial statements better n avoid being cheated by those companies who put up false accounts etc.
knowledge is really scary when u have it n when u put it to devastating effect, exploiting it to the fullest, at the advantage of others.
knowledge is also the way out of poverty n bring u up the social ladder.
okie, enough abt knowledge. let's talk abt cars.
i have sort of decided that i will be satisfy with just a honda civic. cos it's quite a stylish car, with decent performance, decent leg space for everyone, doesn't cause u a bomb at ard 80k. it's quite scary to think abt spending 200k plus to get a car. this is esp so when i m going to b trained as an accountant, when i know that depreciation of the car is crazy, u can hardly get any tax benefit for buying car (not when the govt is discouraging people from buying car) and most prob u can get better returns from investing the extra 120k if u just buy a honda civic.
if ur annual rate of return is 10%, that's alr a cool 12k, enough for u to fly the 1st class suite on A380 (if i m not wrong) or a decent holiday in europe.
so here's a pict of my 'realistic' car
then again, if i really have too much too much cash that i don't know how to spend,
i dun mind the following 2 cars.
mercedes slk
bmw 6 convertible
that's all for today.
back to my books. i wan to b a 'scary' person =)
