Its frightful to note the difference in perspective leads to different consequences.
I've been looking at the people around me s attitude, perspective, and values. I remembered rushing to econs lecture this week because of an inbuilt system for not being late thanks to a friend, and due to lecturers emphasis on late comers. I was the last few, but knew that i would be left standing if i dont find a seat in time. I was spared from this frightful punishment by the chance of a few precious seconds, while everyone else who came in with me were 'shot' for their poor sense of urgency.
Point is, do these people who got punished...is it in their values to be late?
Apparently i still go with the flow. My punctuality depends on the nature of the lecture. In other words what subject is it.
I thought about it. Sometimes people do not apologise because they never saw the need to. Not because they are ignorant, but because their values and consciousness has not been violated. In their perspective they did nothing wrong. This might appear extremely offensive and rude to the opposite party who has been offended. And next to consider such a person as prideful and stubborn would simply equate to a broken friendship.
Friend if you are reading this...its just specks of my thoughts =)
I find PW an extremely subjective subject. At this point i blatantly disagree with the fact that H*a C**** WOULD award 98.2 percent of their students with As for PW. Firstly, if there are so many people getting As, then is there any more value in that A? Secondly, isnt it clear to our heads that the marking was done by the teachers there? Did not they follow a certain policy that other Junior colleges may not be adopting?
And i have conjured this theory: The rarity proves its value/quality.
So their A can equate to a C in Innova, or maybe a D. Their B would equate to a sub pass over here.
Come on, i refuse to believe Innovians are that lousy when it comes to PW. And dont tell me that everyone from H*a C**** is hardworking?
Slackers fill the plains of this green turning yellow/brown earth.
You cant run away from them.
I happen to join this movement.
Not because i socially conform, but because i agree to its ideology.
Yeah i just kinda open fire...but for now i am letting my words remain heard. But do note, my topic sentence has nothing whatsoever to do with the JCs mentioned, they are merely examples to accentuate my point.
I am a bit out of time if its coming to sumer test. I hardly complete what i set out to achieve, thats because i always fail to consider external factors, and still do, and usually aim way too big.
I still remember Mr Foo's words...
Dare to dream Big. Looks like St gabs left footprints in me.
In fact one would only see the footprints in their lives left by others only when they left the place (institution), or the person is no longer in contact with you. I love st gabs teachers so much more than IJCs...
I seen how i treat girls like guys, and act 'aggressively' towards them, but thats in their opinion. Sighs...this, i believe came from St gabs. My bluntness towards certain 'sensitive' topics is still in a way left uncontrolled, or maybe...i chose to let it be uncontrolled for a few moments and then retract it back? I wonder if i will continue to be blunt. My guess is yes, just that it would be lessen.
I still prefer to think, then to do work. If only i can do work with just my thoughts instead of having to write out my thoughts, and having to go through the annoying process of convincing whoever is marking my work to accept my thoughts scribbled across the 'crushed' paper.
Wayne came up with this oxymoron today...
Flawed perfectionist.
I like this one =)
