Bootlicking

I guess it's pretty normal to want to "show your best properties" to your superior, be it your boss, your parents or your lecturers for that matter of fact...

However, it intrigues me the extent people will go to do so. Maybe because people with my background does not engage in this... (I mean... if the answer is 50, bootlicking does not make your 60 answer correct) I get really bothered when some students go all the way out to "impress" the lecturer. "Impress" not in term of doing well in their work, but in terms of quoting how "wonderful and capable" their lecturer is on an academic forum.

Maybe I'm aloof, but if saying your lecturer is "pretty and capable and smart" helps get you good grades, then I lose all the respect I can have on educators. = = Please lar... don't treat your lecturer like a fool, I seriously doubt he/she will be impressed or flattered.

The first step to wisdom

The first step towards wisdom, is probably to acknowledge that you know close to nothing. For it is only through knowing that, can one be truly humble and receptive towards learning. And maybe... through relentless learning, one can someday achieve some form of wisdom...

So... Maybe I'm on my way to achieving wisdom... = =

I need...

I need a break,
I need a place where I can get rest and peace...
I need to sleep,
I need to think,
I need a recharge of my flattened energy.
I need people who understand me,
I need people who tolerate me...
I need some care and love.
I need to smile,
I need a listening ear, a helping support, an island in the middle of the ocean...
I need to survive...

In our hearts

Sometimes, when people don't talk about it, it doesn't mean that they don't remember.
You might be happy to know that we all remembered.

Work Ethics

Since young, I am the kind of child who will sacrifice my sleep to finish my homework, or finish studying a test. In my work ethics, I will sacrifice leisure and rest to make sure that my work is up to a certain minimum standard. And well... I get upset, or rather, I get pissed... when others don't have the same kind of work ethics. Or then again, maybe I get pissed when I have to face the consequences of someone elses' willingness to sacifice work for leisure and rest.

I think I am too demanding... = =
