Tonight I am having dinner with an old friend whom I have known more than 20 years.\u00a0 I talk to him about I am having a mid-life crisis, try to find my identify and place in the world.\u00a0 My friend have trouble understanding my problems, not that he thinks I am thinking too much.\u00a0 He can’t even grasp the concept of mid-life crisis,\u00a0 since he never think about this questions at all.\u00a0 He is pretty much living a worry free life all these year.\u00a0 This friend is also an engineer, but he seems living in a totally different world.\u00a0 He has been a straight A student in school since the day I know him.\u00a0 The highest rank I ever have in primary school is the 10th, but my friend always stay in the top 3.\u00a0 Now he is working for a crowned corperation with 100% job security.\u00a0 He career path is straight ahead for him.\u00a0 Since his company havn’t hire engineers for a long time before he join, all engineer above him will soon retire.\u00a0 He just have to hang in there long enough and eventually he will be the chief engineer leading the whole division.\u00a0 My jaw drops when he told me his net worth is more than half a million.\u00a0 I can’t make that much money all my working years combined even I don’t have to spend a dime.\u00a0 The only thing that trouble him is that he is still single, which something I can’t explain.\u00a0 He is tall (over 6 feet) and good looking (ok, he does look geeky, but that can be easily fixed).\u00a0 He has lots of money in the bank and have a job with great persective.\u00a0 He should be a girl magic, a diamond bacholer.\u00a0 I am very keen to introduce my single female friend to him.\u00a0 Sometimes I really envy his simple life, so I don’t have to worry about my mid-life crisis.\u00a0 On a second thought, if I were in his position, I will probably feel very bored.\u00a0 Then I would start looking new that will bring me back all the troubling thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
