Drool In The Textbook

That's one of my most lasting impressions of high school. I can't tell you the number of times that I fell asleep -- face down in my textbook -- during various history, science and language classes. The agony of being forced to read and understand from the textbook is considered to be torturous. Soon I realized that, there is the type of education we get in school and there are life lessons we learn along the way. Both are important. The only problem is that life moves us far along before we figure out what’s going on and the wisdom we hope to have gained is sometimes late in coming and finally what we learn in the textbook does not teach us to deal with the future. First of all, if the point of school and textbook learning prepare us for future work and to become productive, successful citizens, then shouldn’t “writing effective resumes”,”interviewing for jobs”, “ overcoming adversity” be part of our education? Colleges may have career guidance services, but again, the earlier we learn these skills, the better we are. A job interview is a singular experience in that the only person that matters is you and your accomplishments and how you answer questions. Filling out a job application is a skill, because what you say and how you say it can truly be the difference between two equally qualified candidates. And the job interview process is always stressful and never easy – no matter how many years or times you have done it. Now, think about what things are put upon students. The answers are 7 hours of school, a growing pile of homework, test coming in fortnight, and if they hope to go to a renowned college they need a pile of extracurricular activities... oh, and family, friends, food, sleep? We as a student have to deal with time and managing it but all these are not taught in the textbook. Developing time management skills is a journey to greater efficiency , less stress, increased opportunities and overcoming procrastination. Priorities to certain things are also one of the subs in time managing and overall we hope to dedicate our life to meaningful things and achievements. Students too have to deal with the problem of insufficient money and spending on unnecessary things. Often I see myself spending too much at once and soon left my wallet to be empty. Here comes another point of basic money managing skills. Many of us wish we are occupied with this knowledge and personal finance education. Mathematics class could incorporate of us to calculate probability, algebraic formulas, calculus but never in teaching us about budgeting, time value of money, debts and simply saving more than you earn. In future, we are required to perform tax return, banking procedures, insurances and we hoped that we are fortunate enough to include finance techniques in our textbooks. Bottom line, money management is a much needed skills. Good communication skills are key to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, frustration, or even disaster by being misinterpreted or poorly delivered. Communication skills open us to better relationships, more career opportunities, and increased self confidence. Moreover, we need to deal with all sorts of problems in daily lives and the only way of solving it is to negotiate, expressing our opinions, reaching agreement in a peaceful way. Not to forget, we also need a good relationships with everyone we know, elites and chiefs. This could actually provide us a better platform in future whenever we needed help, sponsorships and contracts. It’s amazing the number of times negotiation is needed in our lives,when we’re buying a car, trying to get our bills reduced, negotiating our salary, or even just trying to get our significant other to get pesky chores done. So, do textbooks teach us about communication skills? Once you move out of the family home, whether it's on your own, with flatmates or a partner, you're pretty much on your own. And, yes, while learning to cook is important, there are plenty of other important little lessons we could do with being taught in textbook as well. I always thought they should have taught us to change a fuse, and I just don't remember learning anything useful in physics but that would have been so practical. Some survival skills are good to learn include things like how to make food in limited supplies, responding during an earthquake, and self defense against harm. A little knowledge of survival would be a great thing and might even save a life. It is important for all students, especially the academic inclined, to never get lost in the pages of books. We need to invest ourselves using more than just the pages of textbooks and rely on more than just a good university name. Spend more time going out exploring different kind of things , take a challenge and lead a team. After all, we would envisioned ourselves and our country to be a much more successful. “The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

2015

Hello , nice to see you once again. Happy New Year again. I felt that I have lost something. I lost my loudness and giggles. I've lost my ever crazy bitch character or so. I felt awful and pain in my heart that I can't smile back. All that smile now are superficial. I am not the old me. I dont know the people around or situation or me myself that change. 我觉得我不再是那个 以前的我。 时间和时光带走很多美好的事。 我知道每个事和全部不是永远的。人生就是这样, 当你喜过了那间 , 那喜就是我们的美好的"过去" 和 "故事"。

2014

One more day to Christmas and One more week to 2015. Well, it seems like 2014 be like touch n go for me, you know. I'm not quite sure what have I gained the most during this year , but from what i know off, I think I started to think much much more than those days. Beginning of the year , there's this Chinese calendar that states this year for Rat wasnt that delightful for us. But , I did saw from somewhere that , they advice us to control our actions , voices and output. It did bring something deep inside me , reminded me to always start to think and chill for a minute before bursting out. Its been my trademark to get very emotional and out of control whenever my feelings and emotion win over my mind and conscience. To people like me , I think it truly bring something that I should be really aware of all the time. Well, the beginning of the year, I found a job as an assistant in a clinic. To me , it widened my exposure towards the reality side of the world more. What I meant was , the reactions, responses and thinking of people and the clinical exposure. Let me talk about the clinical exposure. Well, I am not-a-medicine-type of people and I dont fancy blood any health issues. LoL, I DONT KNOW HOW would I ever got into this field and got into this moment this far. At first, I was shocked and petrified over the wound of patients. I have to say its really yucky with fresh blood flowing out. When time goes by, the feeling of "yucks" turn to "idontcareanymore". Its really hard to describe it verbally but its ok I knew it myself then its ok. I get to experience live shows of my boss doing sutures and best part "circumcision" and more. By then, I guess theres no need to mention how wrong I fall towards someone's charm earlier this year and finally , Im glad to wake my self up on time this end year. Moving on, Im the SPM candidates of year 2013 , which means that results announced on end of March 2014. Well , theres no need to elaborate more on the results. But I would like to elaborate more on the crossroads towards deciding future education pathway. I can say that very time of the year really puts me in tough situations. I admit that it doesnt just involve dilemma, serious discussions but tears too. Well, it goes down to the choice of opting for STPM. Tips for anyone out there , I know this this time is crucial and you gotta make the right choice and the choice itself cost you a lifetime. Sit down , spend time , talk nicely , honestly , open your heart up to your parents. Think about every aspects not just the academic pathway , but also financially , chances, convenience and most important is the aggresiveness and make sure your interest and passion to this field must last a lifetime. Yes, enough said. So , basically Im now happy in the situation. Remember, "you lose nothing, but gain something" when you make the right choice and you're happy with the decisions. Well, after submitting myself as a lower 6 student, I did have fun at the same time in the midst of studying. I appreciate a lot to the teachers that taught me really well and my deskmate as well. This time wasnt the same when my buddies just left me to another school. I thought it would be really horrendous and horrible to me . I felt like I lost my companions and neighbours in this second home. But as time goes by, I recovered and accepted it as a part and parcel of life. Past lower 6 life wasnt that bad , with my deskmate that play really one major part of this journey and another few of my close friends. Okay. Gotta attend my Christmas eve dinner later. See ya. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. OH YEA, My Niece is ONE-MONTH OLD NOW and she is Katniss.
