Stay or Leave? Yes or No? Accept or Reject? Agree or Disagree?

Life over 1/4 of century........ the first decision that I made was >28yrs ago...that's the day I was born on 31 Mar. => Never Regret. Since the 1st day joining this wonderful & mysterious world.... there's always never ending decisions I had made and I have to make. I guess ppl out there hav the same feeling.
There are so many stages in our life.... no doubt that there'll be certain decisions that will affect your next stage of life.
My 2nd major decision was choosing to study accountancy for my degree which truly gave me a chance to explore the world outside my small family, my hometown - The Nature City, my country and new cultures. During the four yrs away from my family, there's numerous decisions I had made...there's right & wrong decisions. Anyway...NO REGRETS as everything that happened were part of my life history.
At the age of 24, I entered to working world back at hometown.... time when I earn my first RM1,XXX.00 by working minimum of 5 days a week. Feeling unhappy as I was being forced to come bck instead of working at KL where the basic salary is double of the salary I got. That was one of the tough decisions that I made as had to face the challenge of long distance relationship with my ex-bf in order to be near with my family.
There comes the toughest decisions I have ever made was to decide to got married with my husband. There's truly ups and DOWNS during my courtship with him.... long distance relationship, faith, TRUST, betrayal, romantic moments........ Every1 around me thought that I was crazy...... but I decided to giv him and myself another chance to prove that we really love each other. There's always a chinese saving - "women scared of choosing the wrong husband, men scared of choosing the wrong career". Here, I would like to take the chance to thank my parents, relatives and friends that support my decision and their best blessings to me :D
Now, after working for almost 4 yrs........ suddenly 1 day I asked myself, "is it time for me to move another step further?" Getting a good and reasonable job offer triggers me more to think of this issue.... YES!!! Submitting my resignation letter to the firm is truly a difficult and tough decision for me. Yet, my superiors advised me to reconsider my decision....... ouch........this is truly making me headache these few weeks........ Should I go or Should I stay? .......... My main reason of leaving the firm is not because of $$. They're the job satisfaction.... appreciation.... recognition..... environment...... that make me think re-think.... To Stay or To Resign?.....

LABOUR Day - 1st May 2008

What is the definition for LABOUR?
- When I was young, Labour means coolie - ppl that work by the road side under the hot sun.
- When I enter to working life - those have the salary of below RM2,500 are protected under Labour Act (if i'm not wrong)
=> So, Labour Day suppose to be a day off for that category of ppl only. However, every1 that are working....without taking into account of their salary range.

SO, for the past 3 yrs.... I do not work on 1st May and enjoyed the day relaxing.

However, today....yes, it's TODAY..... i realise that there is hidden meaning in the LABOUR DAY. What's that? That is..... it's a day for LABOUR TO WORK!!!! So, whoever that are not working today....are not labour. So, today has proved that I'm a 90% LABOUR!!!! As I started working at 10 am till 4.30 pm (usual working hours 8am - 5pm).

Sometimes..... I really don't know why we human need to work SO HARD!!!!! Can some1 out there tell me why..... (pls don't tell me because we need to feed ourselves)
