My mind is constantly brewing with ideas, and to deprive it from expressing itself, is a great great sin.
I drew a short list of things i want to do before 30.
I have been playing with the idea of being a teacher for many many years, and the past few days the idea has been residing.
And honestly, i think anyone who wants to earn their million before 30, is simply ignorant, because there is something called inflation happening now on a global scale, and it seems like it has not occurred to them that their salary would inevitably increase as well. Thus earning that million before a certain age now would be easier than it would have been years ago.
I thought about it today, People in JC are learning Uni stuff, sec1 kids are learning sec3 stuff. Information is constantly pushed to an earlier age. Is there a need?
If this continues, what would our kids be learning when we hit age 40? Would they learn why Delta H = MCDeltaT at age 9? Or be given an assumption to prove. (Mathematical Induction)
Better still, write a thesis?
Academic inflation. Our Minister better do something wise about this.
I pondered a few times, why not they go through the curriculum they set themselves, let them really understand what is called stress.
I mean i am appalled that there are parents feeling extreme shock that students stay up to 1am to study for tests or simply completing work. Hello, there are people who dont sleep just to finish work, or complete a project. Gosh...this shows how relax adults are. I mean my CT left for home at 3 today, while i reached home at 9.30? Looks like a student seems more busy than a teacher eh>? No. My claims are inaccurate, but just appease me by nodding your heads. Thank you.
My school was flooded with school principals from sec schools and JCs today and would be so on thursday too. I hope they think IJC is a nice place.
Relationships - Dean Sherman: Bought by Abel. Given to my brother for his birthday last year. I read this book, found a lot of insightful stuff. Its liberating to know that we are all created to be attracted to other people, be it similar or opposite genders. Its not a sin to be attracted to people, but it is a sin to lust.
Attraction = I think he or she is cute/gorgeous/handsome
Lust = I want to sleep with him/her
Lust devalues people, because we omit the real value beneath the looks.
We are currently living in a society that has inflated the importance of looks.
I thought to myself a few days ago, why did Jesus 3 closest friends slept while he prayed.
I wonder how many times we treat our closest friends like these. Blatantly put it,
Like shit.
Drama SYF tmr. Please at least get a silver. Given the circumstances, a silver would look sparkling enough.
Gp + Chinese paper on friday.
Concert dry run after Gp paper.
Pre U sem briefing on sat.
There are two reasons why people at my age would do badly for their tests. They never study, or they just dont know how to answer to the question, meaning out of point.
Once again, has low grades prove that we are stupid? I strongly object.
What has good grades proved? That these people are good at conforming to certain systems.
Education, in my opinion, should have never been on a massive scale, because education has always been on a personal level. Every one's experience is different.
The pinnacle of human live form = the ability to make a better difference.
God perform some miracles when i sit for GP, Chinese, Lit, Econs...actually on all the papers i sit for. Thank you =)
Thanks CT, for the mm....
