Recently, over the past few days, I have been reflecting and I believe that I have not been a tolerant person over the past few years. Patience and tolerance have never been my strong suit. Undoubtedly, I am henceforth jealous for really nice people like elysha and joanne because really, their hearts are well, talking in the golden sense, are pretty golden. I have been wondering why they are able to be so tolerant and what have enabled them to do so.
On the other hand, I am always one to express my opinions openly or hint of my displeasure if someone annoys me. It is neither beneficial for me nor the other party, but I haven’t exactly succeeded in curbing my temper. Indeed, it is true that everyone will have their strong and weak suits but I feel that overcoming this hurdle will bring me one step further.
Looking back, I realized that I have wasted a lot of my time on nonsensical stuff, and what’s more, I have been consciously doing it. I know something will do me no good but yet for the short term pleasure, I do it. Its kind of guess a moment of folly or mental blindness. Its time to quit this and focus on advancing myself in various aspects, if only I have the foresight to do so. But at least, if I did make an effort, there will be a consolation that I tried.
Moving on, I think I will be considering literature for one of my contrasting subjects next year. No, I do not regretting taking geography for these two years, it has indeed been a fulfilling journey for me, opening my eyes to what the ignorant mentality of mine would have blocked off. Furthermore, I must say that madam tan is a pretty interesting teacher, well, she makes the lessons easy to understand and clear cut, which is what I thoroughly admire and respect in a teacher.
There’s an article in the latest issue of newsweek talk about teachers having an iron rice bowl. Indeed, this has been the centre of heated debate that some particular teachers who have failed terribly in their duties in being a teacher have not yet been dismissed. On the other hand, certain teachers are overworked and yet underpaid. It’s true, in many countries around the world. There should be a anonymous feedback session provided for us to give our views on certain particular teachers who have gone the extra mile and also certain particular teachers who have fallen even below the basic role of being a teacher.
