For the love of her mom.

I have heard about this lady quitting her last job in a big international company to take on a smaller post in a comparatively smaller company from some of her friends. I have often wondered what had happened to cause her to take such a move.

Today I was fortunate to have the beautiful lady come to my house. After talking on some health topics, I found out that she was working today, a Sunday in Malaysia. Here, when it comes to a lot of offices, they are closed on Sundays. So, her having to be in the office on a holiday got me wondering about the need to attend to office work when everyone else is resting.

She explained about her duty as the head of a department to ensure all the work would be completed and only a small percentage of it allowed to be carried forward to the next day. The amount of work could not be cleared recently due to someone being sick for the last few weeks. Listening to her talk about her duty I felt she really had a heart of gold.

Since we were talking about her work I took the opportunity to enquire about her previous post in that bid international company with its main office in the United States. She told me it was because of her mom who was getting more and more serious with her high blood pressure.

It was at that stage that the company wanted her to be the director of operations in the East Pacific Area and to move to station herself in the Hong Kong area. That being the case, she wondered how getting her mom to the new place would affect her health. Without her, the mother had no one to look after her. Her post was high and the pay was big. So, she had to choose between her successful career and her mother.

What would you choose? Well, where she was concerned, her mother came first. She left her big pay-check and returned to Kedah to care for her mom and found another job with a small company and, of course, a much smaller pay. What a great sacrifice she had made! She is one great lady!

However, she is happy with the smaller pay as the lifestyle is different. Her present way of living does not require so much money. She is happy to be with the mother whose blood pressure has gone down to normal again. And she is just as happy to be with her friends, friends like me, you see.

But then, according
