Assalamualaikum...Hi!
Some people they don't understand how being rich is a privilege. It's not even a difficult math if you learn their lifestyle and how are their upbringing.
And secondly how education is always important.
Let me elaborate some points that you may or may not know.
Given Ali, a bright kid, who was born into a government worker parents and Danish who is also a bright kid, and was luckily born into a huge corporate persona father and a housewife mother.
Ali was sent into a common kindergarten like everybody else.
Danish instead was sent into a an international kindergarten like every vip's kids.
Ali was surrounded by native Bahasa speakers only. While Danish started to speak English the day he started speaking.
At school where almost every science subjects are in English, Danish understood everything better.
While Ali always has to look up to dictionary to understand well.
This is the very beginning of the journey, Ali already doubled the effort in order to achieve same outcome as Danish's.
Result's out. Both of them achieve the same.
Long story short, both of them pursue in university. Ali goes with government scholarship. While Danish was funded by his parents. Even if Danish wants scholarship, his father knows someone who shortlists the scholarship applicants.
Even after studying, Ali has to work under others, while Danish can replace his father.
Can you see how being rich is a privilege.
This is my story.
I know being a primary school teacher's child is actually a privilege until I set my foot to secondary school.
Thank God my secondary school aren't the school for rich and VVIP kids, even if there's any, you can count them.
So, I don't really feel the inferiority until I continued my studies in Alexandria University.
If you think the private students are only of those who come from rich family, you need to look back.
After thorough learning, I understand that even the MARA students, are mostly come from rich families or someone who can afford higher quality of life.
I know that MARA is supposed to help those bright students who can't afford to study abroad without scholarship, but you can't deny because MARA didn't set the maximum family income in order to be sponsored. The most important is the good result.
However if you read the paragraph above, you'll learn that ordinary kids always have to double up their effort in order to achieve the same result as the rich kids'. Still we haven't studied the genetics that if their parents are rich because of their brains, the kids will almost always inherit the brains.
And that's what I learnt, because if you ask my friends, at least 1/3 of the whole have parents doctor.
And for the remaining even if they're not doctors, they are the people with excellent education background.
Which almost agree to the theory in which kids almost always inherit parents' intelligence.
Maybe the sample size is narrow, though my sample is precise.
I know some people thought my family knows someone who deal with MARA scholarship, as both my sister and I are sponsored, because there's not much out there, who are sponsored and whose siblings are also sponsored unless their family know somebody.
My parents are primary school teachers and I can guarantee you we know nobody who can secure scholarship quote for us.
And for that we thank God and are so grateful.
The other stories.
I think I'll choose Vivy Yusof as my example. She was born with silver spoon in her mouth, and also a bright girl. Because I learnt that she took both SPM and A Levels simultaneously and got A's for everything. Very impressive.
I also learnt that she purchased all the luxury stuff she had using her father's substitute credit card.
And finally gathered all knowledge she knows about high end fashion and put it into creative ideas which consequently forming Fashion Valet and Duckscarves.
If you want to see her struggling like how we ordinary people struggle for things, you're pleased to do so.
But if you want to see how being rich is always a privilege, you may want to proceed.
First, she was blessed to be sent into school with excellent reputation. I know how superior it feels to be in excellent school of district, let alone being in a school like SSP and Seri Cempaka International School. So the self esteem checked!
We all know top school gives top education, which can help you score in exams. And what add to it is intelligence. Top school+top education+intelligence= voila very very educated student!
Congrats you are now an excellent student in academic with high self esteem. Checked!
Her father is hella rich! He could sponsor her to study the A Level in the same year she took SPM, when there's no scholarship for her batch yet, to do A Level and even after the result's out, no one is sent abroad to do the A Level or IB using the sponsorship, except in special case like Dr Amalina Che Bakri who got 17A1 and sponsored by Bank Negara. Hence, I think if there're
many of us given opportunity to do things like Vivy. Scoring all A's for SPM and the very next year A Level is common things like how commoners the SPM straight A's scorers are among us.
To start up business, when she found out how cruel life is to just graduated degree holders, she mentioned she was using all the savings she and her boyfriend-now-husband had, which were around RM14k, which we know all the savings came from parents. How do you save if you have to buy food on your own, paying for utilities on your own, paying rent on your own? By that time, she lived with her everything-is-ready-parents-house and collected many designer's handbags and apparels and shoes during studying in the UK. Do you really think, fashion and taste can be built up without being exposed to the luxurious brand with top designers? Because people say money can't buy high and expensive taste, but they never realize it does to those who really use money to look up for fashion.
And Vivy was one of them. She used her parents money to look up to high end fashion. Have you ever realized the early-20's Vivy who always donned luxury brands looked like she was in her late 20's to early 30's. Because luxury brands produce and design clothes and bags to those who can afford them, by which those 30's are expected to be the youngest age with good income range to afford those hefty price tags. But Vivy could afford it in her early 20's. And even now, I genuinely don't understand the hype to wear things like Vivy, because all I can see is 'mak cik' style I'm sorry.
If it's not for the branded handbags and shoes and self-branding scarf, and good lighting and angle and good camera, all that left is the makcik going to pasar style. And those who are really into this style is my age and below. However, everyone is entitled to your decision.
I think people now understand how being rich is always a privilege. I don't hate Vivy. In fact, I adore her attitude! She's just an example to the point I brought up today.
Till then. Goodbye!
