'can money make the world go round?' - thebuffboyz.blogspot.com

buff boys had this article about money, and how money cannot buy everything...i would just like to elaborate some more on this...

oeij said that money cant buy everything, for example, true love, friends, and family...it doesn't make ppl cool, it doesn't make ppl feel cool...definitely, i agree on this, and im sure almost everybody does too...but there are some things which i would like to say...

my observation is that ppl who are rich usually hang out with ppl who are rich. This is UNLESS a person is really nice, and decides to hang out with people who are not-as-rich-as-him, that is my observation of the ppl around me and how this rich/poor things work

and its a lot simpler to click together coz lets say we have a group of friends who are cool and have a cool, not-so-rich guy, and they decide to go for some restaurant dim sum wadever, the poor guy cant afford, so he goes home. He hangs out less with them, and those rich friends would be closer to each other than to the not-so-rich guy, aint this true?so you see, money does buy you friends, although i wish it weren't true, but true friends, some ppl just don't know it or don't need it...

another example would be a class t-shirt, or a group t-shirt, lets say a class wants a t-shirt, then the class would be seen as 'together'...BUT along comes a guy who cannot afford the t-shirt, then the class blames him for sabo-ing the class...c'mon man, what's this...NOT COOL...and those who actually confront this poor boy and 'boo' him are not cool people at all...

i would define a super cool person as some1 who has great personality, some1 who acts natural and still can impress people because of his gd character, it doesn't matter what car he drives, what clothes he wear (he can wear a slinglet, she can wear a simple t-shirt), it doesn't matter...so long as hes cool, and im sure we all know what's real cool

one that is not cool:

• one who hangs out with cool people, not one tries to be one
• cool people cliqueing only with cool ppl
• outside, wear fashionable clothes, quite ex, but inside, just another ol person, nothing great
• people who despise poor people because they are poor, GET LOST lah
• people sticking to the group of friends who are think they are cool, and act like they are cool...yeah, juz these few pointers

BUT...money DOES buy u the label 'cool' if you want it...u can choose to do all those stuff i mentioned up there, and you will earn yourself a label 'cool' by perhaps ppl on the streets, mrt, schlmates, teachers, wadever...but seriously, to REAL ppl, u aint cool, you're just some1 trying to be cool, and thats loser...its BAD...

but it really depends on the individual, to decides what's cool for himself, if for him, money works, then yes, money can buy 'his' world, but if cool's my type of cool, then money cant buy that, because it is pure heart that buys friends, buys what people call 'cool', pure heart that wins people...

to me, one does not have to sit round an expensive restaurant table, or cafecartel/coffee bean/or whatever expensive place to have a gd time chatting with ONLY the friends who can afford to pay for the meal...i mean, if all the friends happen to be well-to-do, then by all means have the meal there, just dont get STUCK together because you are rich and can afford to be with each other, but because you are GREAT friends...and u must never think your clique better than outsiders, never think superiority...

to me, a meal at a hawker centre with friends having a GREAT time is cool enough...for me, friends, family, they are the most impt...and it is NEVER because of $$money$$ that gets me there, but character, and by what i do...

WELCOME to the real world, get REAL...
