My friends have been always excellent in their studies, everyday they will sit down and spend a lot of effort studying.

I believe that having book smarts is great, but it’s not enough to get by in life. You need to have street smarts as well, and that’s something my friends lack.

I’ve tried to tell my friends that their constant studying is not going to help them get ahead in life.

I’ve tried to explain the importance of having both book smarts and street smarts, but they just don’t seem to understand.

They’ve been so focused on studying that they’ve neglected to develop any kind of street smarts.

Every time we’re out, they’re constantly asking questions that are so painfully obvious that it’s embarrassing.

I’m embarrassed to be seen with them sometimes because it’s like they have no idea how the real world works.

I’ve tried to be patient and understanding, but it’s really starting to get to me.

I care about my friends a lot, and I don’t want to see them fail in life because they don’t have the street smarts that they need to make it.

I’ve offered to teach them the things they need to know, but they just don’t seem to be interested.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m starting to avoid hanging out with them because I’m so frustrated with their lack of street smarts.

However at the same time, I’m also worried that if I’m not around to help them, they’ll get into some serious trouble.

I just hope that they can figure it out before it’s too late.

Unfortunately, my worries have become reality.

Two of my friends recently got into some money troubles because of their lack of street smarts.

They got involved with some shady person who made them believe in his crappy money making theories, and now they have lost quite a bit of money.

This is why no matter how smart you are in terms of studying, you need to be street smarts in order to survive in the real world.

When your a pok pok gei, your sure got brought up by a pok pok gei.

A girl who was brought up with the pok pok gei mentality has finally unleashed her desires after just dating for 3 months. It’s her first time dating and she wants to bring in the subject of money.

Here is what the pok pok gei wrote

I’m dating this guy for 3 months. It’s my first relationship.

When is the best time to ask about the guy’s salary and net worth? I really wanna ask the exact figure as financial security is important to me. I don’t want to ask too early as I don’t want to as money minded or gold digger.

But I can’t drag too late either as I am dating to marry and I don’t want to find out late that he is earning way lower than me or not enough to support a family.

Here are what netizens think:

• Past performance is not indicative of future results. His net worth /salary could be low now, but he could bag 12m toto tonight~

• On one of the dates, plan to have caifan for dinner. If he picks at least 2 fish dishes then you probably know your answer.

• Ask him BTO, then ask how much is his salary. Reason: see if can qualify for government grants or hits the BTO income ceiling

• lol if his salary can let you decide marry or not, i think you stay single la, don’t waste people’s time… with your mindset, how much also never enough…

• Financial security? Meaning you ownself is a burden, oh yes you are, a depreciating asset.

What is a Pok Pok Gei?

Any woman or man you can get with money, (the guy version is call duck.)

As long you appear or show that you have a future, the woman will spread her legs wides like the golden gate bridge and allow you to be her boyfriend or girlfriend.

I’m a 32 year-old man. I had been in a loving and committed relationship with my girlfriend for the past two years.

We had met through gaming and had always shared a deep connection with one another.

We had similar interests, compatible personalities, and could talk for hours on end.

Unfortunately, we had one major problem: our salaries. She had graduated with a degree in finance and had managed to land a job in a prestigious firm.

She was making a much higher salary than I was. I had a degree which was not in high demand, and my salary was significantly lower than hers.

This disparity in our salaries had started to create tension between us. I couldn’t help but feel inferior to her due to my lower salary.

I became increasingly jealous and possessive of her. I wanted to control her movements and activities in order to prove to her and to myself that I was still important and relevant despite my much lower salary.

I started nitpicking her every move. I would criticize her for going out with her friends, for spending too much money, and for not telling me where she was going.

I was constantly trying to control her and make her feel like she was wrong in her actions.

I thought that if I could prove to her that I was the one in control, then she would respect me more despite the salary difference but my attempts to control her only made her feel suffocated and trapped.

She started to resent me for not trusting her and for not giving her the freedom to live her own life.

She said that she did not bother whose salary was higher as we are a couple and we are supposed to share weal and woe together but what I’m doing was too much.

One night, in a fit of rage, she packed her bags and left. I begged her to stay, but it was too late.

She had had enough and wanted to be free of me and my possessiveness and my constant inferiority complex because of our salary disparity.

I was left feeling heartbroken and inferior. I felt as though I had failed in my attempt to prove that I was worthy of her love and admiration.

I had tried to assert my control over her, but instead I had driven her away.

I had thought that by controlling her, I would make her stay but it only made her leave.

I had lost the woman I loved because of my own insecurities and possessiveness and now I’m all by myself wishing I did not feel so inferior.

My top salesman had been let go by me, and now my business was suffering.

I had been so sure of myself, so convinced that I was doing the right thing but now I was starting to realize that cutting him loose was a mistake.

I had been running my small business for a few years now and had been doing pretty well.

I was an entrepreneur and had a few employees, but my top salesman had been the one who made the most impact on my business.

He was an experienced professional and knew how to close deals.

He was always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done and he was a great asset to the company.

But then, I decided to let him go. I had decided that I could do his job and by cutting him, I could save on some salary.

It made sense to cut him loose.

I thought it was the right decision at the time, but now I was starting to realize that it was a mistake.

My business was starting to suffer. Sales had dropped considerably and I was losing customers.

I was losing money and I was starting to worry about the future of my business.

I knew that I had to do something, but my ego was too high to do something so drastic as asking him back.

I thought that I could manage without him, but I was wrong.

I was struggling to keep up with the workload and my sales were dropping. I was losing customers and it seemed like my business was doomed.

I had made a mistake and I was starting to realize that. I had been so sure of myself, so convinced that I was doing the right thing.

But now I was starting to understand that cutting him loose was a mistake.

But it was too late. I had made the decision and there was no turning back.

I blame it on my ego but I just could not bring myself to ask him back to help me.

I was now realizing that my ego was too high and that I should have been more humble and open to listening to other people’s advice.

People around me had been telling me to keep this top salesman of mine no matter how much it costs as it was because of him that my business was thriving.

Yet, I refused to listen to them.

I had been too sure of myself and too quick to make decisions without thinking them through.

I was now paying the price for my mistake and my business was suffering and on the brink of closing down.

I was playing mahjong with my friend and I threw a tile on the table towards the direction of my friend out of frustration.

It had been an eventful game, and I was starting to get angry. I had been playing for a few hours and I was slowly losing my patience because I could not game even though my cards were good.

My friend had been teasing and mocking me a lot during the game, and I was getting irritated.

I didn’t think that he meant anything by it, like it is just our usual banter but it was still making me angry.

I threw the tile in his direction out of frustration, and that’s when the argument started.

My friend accused me of being disrespectful and throwing the tile at him. I denied this and told him that he was the one being disrespectful.

He was clearly tilted by my actions and kept on scolding me. I was getting more and more angry, and I started to yell at him.

This only made the situation worse, and he started to yell back at me. I was getting really angry now, we almost came to blows.

He was shocked and he started to tear in frustration. I had never seen him tear before, and it made me feel terrible.

I apologized to my friend and tried to console him. I told him that I didn’t mean to hurt him and that I was just frustrated.

He accepted my apology, but he was still very upset and he left the room.

I felt terrible about what had happened and I knew that I had done wrong. I had let my emotions get the best of me and I had hurt my friend.

I knew that I had to make it up to him, and I vowed to never do something like this again.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of the story. A few days later, my friend sent me a message saying that he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

He said that he was done with our friendship and that he never wanted to see me again.

I was devastated and knew I had messed up and I had cost myself a good friend.

I had been so angry that I couldn’t control my emotions, and now I was paying the price.
