i just thought of a different title...thinking of a different title just makes me settle on the word "different" since it was running through my head for the past 30secs.

yes, i dun dwell on these kind of things

hahaha....after seeing the gals go off to work one by one, suddenly feel like some mother seeing their kids grow up etc. but no, i'm not going to talk about feeling motherly. rather it's just something i observed?

like from shangyi's and xinyi's experience - people staring at computers, oblivious to make conversations with their colleagues etc. it seems like people being care-less and cold in the workplace isn't just a rumour. but i guess it depends on whee you go and work too?

but what troubles me is how can people be so unfriendly? does it hurt to SMILE? or just say a simple "hello...welcome to our company XXX" it's not a huge effort and seriously, i think it's the ego and fear that stops people from doing things like these.

any way...it drives me back to realisation that in the "real world" out there. your certs, your profile doens't relaly matter much....STUDYING IS A TOOL FOR SUCCESS. IT IS NOT SUCCESS. i very much think that in this sunny island of ours, we take too much emphasis on the outcome of education, rather than the progress of it. not just superficial progress, but like inner personal progress of the student. does he take pride in the subjects he studies? does she like the activities she take part in? do they understand the meaning of the fundamentals of morals? etc etc.

it would seem many of us are like studying for the "glorious" result of education. only looking at the farbege egg from the outside to neglect waht's on the inside. like many other things, respect is earned not given. wisdom is gained, not attained.
