Hold Your Tongue

It amuses me when people are so proud that they have a high IQ but they diss other people like nobody's business even over harmless comments. I can only say that they have such low EQ and this is bad coz we are, after all, part of a social circle where almost everyone has something to say, whether is it for the better or they're just saying out how they feel. Of course we don't always have to agree but why stoop so low as to call them names? 


Actually, what we hear from what others have to say may not be the real deal as they may just be following what the majority is saying so they kinda get misinformed about the true facts. Yes, they are ignorant and probably is better off getting the right information before mouthing off but they're no idiots. Just..misinformed. So the people who know the actual situation should actually get things right by sharing the right info and dispel the myths instead of criticizing this group and call them names.


I guess people need to learn to be more tolerant towards others and concentrate on making the society a better place to live in and be aware that not everyone is as fortunate as them. Some of them, especially those who like to make a big hoohaa over nitty gritty stuffs,  need to be in such eye opening situations where the living conditions are just so bad that getting clean and safe water is like a near impossible task. I think kids nowadays are just getting more and more pampered even though I would say they are far more intelligent too. It may seem like a harmless affair doing things for them or buying things for them but ultimately, we must know where to limit ourselves before these kids become spoiled brats when they grow up. Then, they will be such a nuisance to the society because they believe that in order for things to work for them, they need to change the world to suit them and not the other way round.

Before you mouth off, consider other people's feelings first and I know you don't really care especially if you of the strong opinion that you are right and others are wrong. Just think what if the tables are turned and you find yourself in sticky situations that you have difficulty getting out of and then you will know, that some things are not so easy to handle though it's easier said than done. Sure our mouth can say anything we want coz ultimately, it is our voice coming out of our mouth and not others. But surely, you can just hold your tongue first before you make ridiculous remarks that are so unjustified and unfair. 
 
I guess we're in such comfy situations that from we stand, we may not clearly understand the impact we have on others based on what we have said. Friendships may sour and we may gain more enemies than friends but if you prefer that kind of life, well that's your prerogative then.

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

All in A Day's Work

It's funny how people get all flustered when people talk about them like speculating how they may have a crush on someone and they felt hey, these people have no business with me whatsoever so why don't they just shut their gap. But then when they talk about some other people's business like oh, you two should be together, and how's the progress, why don't you see her as someone special, blah blah blah...it's like they have every right to do so. Reality check. If you can talk about others in that manner and in their face like be some frigging matchmaker, why are you being so defensive when others talk about you especially when you air them in facebook? Doesn't make sense to me. If you don't want people to be nosey in your affair, stop airing them over in cyberspace and also don't be that nosey bugger as well coz you obviously hate it when people do that to you. Oh well. Anyway, I was just thinking to myself that at times, while I'm usual...
