Demand and supply
Once upon a time, many years ago, an old camel was wandering through the desert minding his own business. Suddenly, from behind a sand dune, a duck and a hen appeared."Hey duck, hen", called the camel. "You are a long way from home".
"Help us", cried the hen. "We got stranded here and we haven't had any water for days".
"Sorry”, said the camel, “but I have no water either".
"But you carry all that water on your back", said the duck. "Can we get some of that?"
"Oh my reserves", replied the camel. "Well yes you can, but there is...........er..........only one way I can give that to you. I have a pipe at the back, underneath. Go and suck on that hard and you should get some of the water".
Well duck and hen were too desperate to think too much about this so they quickly went underneath the camel to find the life saving pipe. After a lot of sucking they called up to the camel, who was just standing with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.
"We cant get any water!"
"Mmmmmm.....just keep sucking harder", replied camel.
Eventually the duck and hen were able to get some nourishment and happily they thanked the camel and flew away.
As for the camel, he continued wandering through the desert wondering who he could next supply to.

Vacancies? Well at the moment we need an additional student welfare officer - this would be someone who deals with the problems of the poor students. Next year we will need teachers for new courses, Marketing and Hospitality Management which we dont currently teach. If any of these are of interest then feel free to forward your CV.....
Now those people who have enough money will choose to buy land or houses to keep the value, as land and house will never lose its value but increase. Some people choose to buy gold too. Of course I don't have so much money to buy land or gold, so I do not know how to keep their value. I don't hope that their value will increase, just hope that their value won't decrease. It is a matter of living and having enough food to eat.
Put it to somewhere where (forget what you said in the comment)... I know we should put it in somewhere where the money can keep their value, but where?!
I am an idiot in economy.
Mr. Howie, in all seriousness, I have a hidden talent and the post you mentioned fits me like a hot Chinese flower in the vase that you mentioned above. I promise there will be no blogging. I am workaholic. I hope you get my drift.
Choco...is there anything I can do for your welfare?
In any case, its OK for you. You are young and you should be able to have opportunities to increase your income. The people who really suffer in these times are the old people on pensions, their income really is fixed.
How. My income? Lol. There is a saying these years here: The income is as low as those in Africa, while the product price is as high as those in the west.
Ash. Oh I see what you mean. I don’t know the interest in the bank. I hope it will increase. So you mean, during inflation, the interest rates in the banks will increase?! These years I can not eat so much fruits, because the fruits are more and more expensive.
How. I guess growing too fast is not good. It may make people feel that it is a good sign, but actually growing too fast means having a lot of changes, and half of these changes will seriously affect people's basic life.
BTW, i am going to sleep. Nice talk to both of you. I guess I will dream that my money all becomes gold or bricks.
BTW, don't sleep on here, that How and that Ash are watching and ready to catch the prey~~~
You know, I am typing when sleeping... as the result! lol
OK, I continue my sleeping
You sleep well and sweet dreams!
Yup, thanks,
