Wish him success

YY had told me a few weeks back that he would not want to think about anything else now but to concentrate on his career for now.

While i am happy for him, i again found the irony it it.

You know, in Chinese, there's this saying of "成家立业", which literally translated to getting married and then building a career. Then ancient Chinese put marriage first before starting a career, which is something very different from the culture nowadays whereby we would talk about having a certain career or financial stability before getting married. It seems like they believe that getting married will make a man mature and then the career will be stabilised.

Well, going by this Chinese saying, it means that after YY settled down, he should have focus on his career. Yet he didn't do that. After our marriage, he actually got his heart wild and spent his time on another woman instead. He even put his current job on the line for that woman.

Now that his marriage has come to an end (only short of official signing of the paper), only then he started to think of focusing on building his career. And i am no longer by his side to help him out or give him constructive advice.

Nonetheless, with or without me, i'd still hope for his happiness. If his success in his career can make him a happy man, then i'd pray that he'd be successful in life.
