It's really great studying commerce. Actually, to be precise, it's really great studying economics and finance at a university level, because it always involves real world situations. To some extent at least. Drawing all the conclusions, seeing how things from subprime mortgages link all the way to increasing oil prices in Singapore. But I guess understanding why prices rise, and knowing that it will happen, does not mean as economists we're fine with it. But what can we do but let prices rise? We always preach that markets are the best thing in the world.
Recognition is so highly regarded in society today that if we fail to be recognised for our works, we feel like we have been cheated, robbed of the effort we put into achieving success. Yet Matt6:3-4"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
