081003 Though of the day

Without a high pain threshold, you can't be a successful President.

Bill Clinton(1946-)

When i read this quote, something came into my mind. No only become a president, but to sucess in our life without hard working and work smart, we never get it done in our life. 

Leaving in the instant mee generation, a lot of people though that something can be learn without work hard. A friend of mine asking me the opinion on the quotation on hiring a photographer during his wedding. He told me the photographer quoted RM800. I was very suprise as this price was quite cheap for a wedding photographer (I haven't have a chance to see his photo shooting). When i shared with my others friends, there were few reactions:

1) Very Expensive.. Haiyo.. use digital camera enough, can get a good picture. Don't be stupid

2) Wow, so cheap... he get a good price

3) Er.. no Comment

My friend told me that photographer is his friend and he is using quite professional camera (DSLR) to took the picture (i saw on the day of the wedding). To me, those free lance photographer spent a lot of money in their accesories to get quality picture where sometime will more then few ten k. Beside that, these group of people also spent their time to polish their skill either by taking a lot of photo or attent some class or do further reading and research. So, can the job worth RM800? or shall be more? 

Turn around and ask, if you are  lawyer, do you expect people pay you less than what had you invest to become a lawyer.. I don't think so.

like bill clinton said: Without a high pain threshold, you can't be a successful President. To be a president, they work hard for it, similar like engineer and lawyer and the others. Nothing is free in this world.
