I have not been blogging recently cos I have been studying for tests, but since today is a Sunday, I guess I should chill out for a while.
More stuff about the you-know-who 3C's person (refer to earlier posts) :
I got so touchy today that I cried at TM for 30 mins just explaining about you-know-who to my mum. I'm not the only one who is upset over this. I shall relate one incident...
On Thursday, you-know-who found out that 13 people from our class didn't bring our HCL textbook, so you-know-who was asking Zi Ying and Weixin,"我加分给那些有带课本的同学，是对的做法吗？”
Both of them brought their books, but they were afraid to offend the other 13 who didn't bring the textbooks, so they said,"Don't know."
Then you-know-who was like scolding both of them very seriously, saying that they can't tell right from wrong. I mean, they said, "Don't know", not no...
After that he was talking about an incident on Teachers' Day when a boy asked to pass a present to his teacher, then you-know-who didn't want to entertain him. So he asked us, "你知道他忘了说什么吗？” Then he asked someone and that person didn't know, so he called her "笨孩子！” angrily.
Then Tabitha was like raising her hand and saying,"他忘了说老师节快乐。” So you-know-who was praising her to the heaven. Not like we are jealous or what, but i'm sure there are many other people who know the answer, and even if he/she doesn't, there's no reason to call him/her stupid.
Ok, you want more insight, go to Jiamin's (Jam) or Yvon's blog. I shall talk about more motivating stuff =P
There's this catchy song that I heard on radio almost everyday. It's "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor. The chorus is something like:
10% luck,
20% skill,
15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure,
50% pain...etc
I think that it is very meaningful indeed. Let's interprete the chorus (hey, I'm practising LA Unseen Poetry =P) :
10% luck (luck doesn't count much in success, it's just 10%)
20% skill (This shows that even if you are born with the talent and yet you don't work hard, you will get nowhere, it's just 20%)
15% concentrated power of will (Perseverance is quite essential, because perseverance usually comes with hard work, which takes up 50%, so both will take up 65%, that's a LOT!!!)
5% pleasure (If you have no luck and no skill, but yet you like it and are willing to work hard and persevere, that's already 70%!!!)
50% pain (The most important of all, hard work. No pain, no gain, cos every failure is a step to success. With evidence from the 1st 2 points, even if you are soooo lucky and you are born with the talent and you like it, that's only 35%, which is still little compared to hard work.)
That's my interpretation, it gives me some motivation yeah? that I don't have to be born with the talent =P
So, you-know-who, we are not stupid kids, we are just not born with those talents you expect us to have, but that's only 20%, if we work hard and persevere, we have 65% of our success, and when we succeed, we'll begin to like it more, so that's 70%!!! Then soon, we will put in much more effort to learn the so-called skills, then it'll be 90% for us!!!
Make sense huh?
Well, that's all for now. xDD
