My Dad? Happy Fathers Day! :)

Some ads are really creative. They so make us think for a while and after that we will smile or laughs. These are the special ones that will make us remember. They are the ones that stays longer in our mind. Below is one funny one to all the "accidental" dad. Happy Fathers Day!

Male or Female preferred. The discrimination of sexes!

Malaysian does discriminate sexes although we always deny it. Just take any papers and just go to the classified section. You will see something like, “only for females” or “male preferred”. A closer look the position advertised and you will notice it is just the position of a sales executive.

There is also a saying that hot girls/women are easier to get a job. It is the looks that matter. You may say that these people are shallow but in reality everyone has given plus points to a hot slim girl. It may actually raise you your staff motivation or even help in gaining sales. Humans are just humans. We are still attracted to so-called “good looking” people that have being fixed in our brain when we are young. On the other hand, there is also a group of employers who do not like the fairer sex. Their reasons are that females will not contribute much to the company because of the 2 month maternity leave. I do notice that some people do have a baby every year and they are like working for only 10 months in a year and still getting paid full.

Discrimination of gender is out there and is publicly exercised. I wonder why the activist groups out there are not making any noise against it. Is it fair for general jobs to be gender specific? Something should be done to these employers who are tarnish the name of country. Some gender specific jobs such as nurse and secretary are now open to both genders. Is gender that important in determining the success of an organization?

Marriage: The beginning or the end?

Lots of people especially guy perceive that when they get married, that is the full stop. They can no more go out have fun; they can no more go out late and do what they wanted. For females on the other hand mostly will be thinking on the responsibility as a housewife and they end of their social life. Many people consider marriage as a end to all of what they can do. Sit down and think properly. Is marriage the end or the beginning?

Marriage is not the end. It is the beginning of a new journey. Some people might just stop to be romantic and stop the “love” thingy and take things for granted. Is that so? Keeping and maintaining is as difficult as or not worse than courtship. A successful marriage needs the time, effort and commitment of both parties. If we see it from the view of the law, marriage is just signing of papers and being legal. It is still a relationship. Nothing is permanent in this world. Love your spouse. Spice things up. The relationship is still very important just as before the marriage!

The journey of a marriage becomes more complicated with a new born. It moves the relationship to a new perspective. Things are different now. Responsibilities are there to make the family institution work. The son/daughter need to be educated, shaped and nurtured for his/her future. The reality proves otherwise nowadays. People have children because they like children. After some time they just do not care about them, neglect them and let the children grow-up by themselves. Is this the proper thing to do? A child is just like a growing plant. It needs all the care and proper fertilization to grow up strong. Then you let them grow by themselves. That is the reason the age of adulthood is 21. That is when the child is able to think wisely and have developed all the proper skills and beliefs.

One piece of advice to all the newly weds- The secret of a successful marriage is to treat your spouse the same or better when in courtship. Things will just fall into place. As for newborn- Bring up your child well, nurture your child. He/she is your future. Plan your future well as you are doing now. If you are unable to sacrifice you career and your time for your children, it is best not to have one!

Man & Women: Equality?

The conflict between the sexes is just a waste of time?

In this 21^st century, the society is always stressing on the equality of the genders. The controversial battle of the sexes is always there. Come to think of it, is there such a thing called equality of gender in this world?

Equality is hard to achieve in a society unless communism is practiced. Even with communism it is also hard to achieve equality. What else can we expect from equality of genders? Man and women are basically different physically and mentally. So how can we be the same and enjoy the same benefits?

One think I was laughing at since a long time is the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development in Malaysia. Why can’t there be a Ministry for Man & Family? Is that called equality? How come there is one for women but not men?

Discrimination of sexes is also practiced by widely without us actually noticing. Just pick up any newspaper and go to the employment section and you will see. “Male preferred” or “female preferred”. Some ads are even worse “Only for female age between 18 and 28”. Where is equality in this word that the women are fighting for?

Women are fighting for their rights. They say they want to be entrepreneurs too. Yes no one is stopping you. How come I never hear women fighting to become construction workers, logistics workers or crane drivers etc? The world should be equal right? Only want to sit in office with air-conditioner and you called that equality?

The thing here is there is no such thing as equality. To those female movement groups just open your eyes and see properly. Don’t just put it under the name of protection of women or women rights. If you want equality please look at it as a whole. If you want to share, share the whole portion. Do not just want the cream and you called that sharing. Ask yourself is there equality in this world? Why some people are so poor and why are so rich? You decide.

I’m not against any gender. I feel that we are here as male or female for a specific reason and some things could not be changed. We need to learn to live life harmoniously and not keep on fighting for gender rights. Some things like getting pregnant is only for the females whereas some jobs are just for the males. Why do we want to fight about it? It is better to help each other to achieve something which can be folds better than fighting who can do it better.
