living my dull life in a colourful world**
Hey guys.. Haven't really had time to blog..
Just read mab's blog and found in rather thought-provoking..
When i was young, i used to dream a lot. Literal and non-literal ones.
Well..when i was young, pure and innocent as i was, it seemed so easy to dream, and that i really thought that my dreams would come true. It didn't take me long to understand that dreams don't come true just like that. Especially in Singapore.
Pros and cons to the great almighty Education System in Singapore.
No doubt, it is indeed a well established one. One that many people from all over the globe would strive and work real hard to make it to Singapore through scholarships. Why is it that most of us here, entitled to the entry of this great almighty system gradually grow tired and sick of it while others have to try so much to earn their way through? (well, at least to most i guess)
Ask any young kid. "what would you like to be next time?" You'll probably get a whole varieties of occupations, ranging from nurses, Doctors to Superman..
NOw, ask the same question to young adults. The usual, boring answer (probably answered with the same boring tone too)"I dunno, teacher, entrepreneaur" perhaps.. Why..cos they know dreams aren't that realistic afterall.
You can't afford to dream if you lack the academic qualifications. I agree that to be professional in a particular area of work, one needs to have a minimum knowledge of that subject. But can you safely say that there are no hidden talents amongst those people who lack the academic ability but has the strong passion and interest in that area? For example, would it be absolutely necessary for a person to score A's for his/her results be a good counsellor or a good entrepreneur? I'm sure we have the answer in our hearts.
Like what was mentioned in the previous entry, what are we searching for in life? What do we aim to achieve in our life time? Life is short..do we really just want to follow blindly into the senseless,cold and harsh society? Why are we doing things that aren't bringing us true happiness? Why aren't we in full control of our lives. Can our society be claimed a
free and liberal society?
well well well. I can only dream of waking up in time tmr now.
adios.
