sometimes the academics will not help u
-
Give u a story:
2 men were put in a giant maze which was riddled with incomprehensible signs and symbols and were told to find the exit.
one was a scholar and the other was an uneducated man
The 2 men were discussing how to get out. When the uneducated man suggested something, the scholar disagreed thinking he is wrong because he was uneducated. The 2 couldnt agree
Each of them took a different path to find the exit from their starting point.
but each time the scholar came to a junction he thought so deeply about the signs and symbols and clues applying his logics, mathematics and academics and was going about in circles
but each time the uneducated man came to a junction he thought so deeply about his family and how he would get back to support them.
Finally only one got out first and it was the uneducated man.
The inventor of the maze was surprised and asked him how.
He said " I do not know how to count or write but
He said : i saw a mouse and followed it and it showed me the exit"
THe inventor then said to the man that " the maze was riddled with incomprehensible symbols which do not have a solution .You had the most simple and perfect solution"
The reason why the scholar failed is becos
1)he was so engrossed in his academics that he failed to look at the world and notice the subtle things around him which could guide one in life to a solution
2) his ego of disapproving another man's words thinking he is inferior had blinded him further
he reason why the uneducated man suceeded is becos
1) he was full of love for his family , with attributes which is universal and worldly.
2) his mind was humble and free from thoughts that would clog an academic's mind to blind him further. His void mind was stimulated to look at the world around him to notice the subtle clues

My boss should know about this:
1)he was so engrossed in his POSITION that he failed to look at the world and notice the subtle things around him which could guide one in life to a solution
2) his EGO (as a superior) of disapproving another man's words thinking he is inferior had blinded him further -
Gasp! We have scholars running all the country...

the scholar could have seen the mouse too but he was so engrossed in his mode of thinking he failed to pick up the clue.

This story is not substantial to prove the title of your thread.
What happens if there is no mouse?
What happens if the symbols really do mean something?
Do you mean that educated people do not think of and love their family?
etc etc etc...
The whole plot is way too biased. Sorry, your point cannot be taken. FAIL! -
This story was actually created by an educated person to trick uneducated people like the threadstarter to believe the story.

Lesson learnt
1) How would his love for family lead him out of the cave? Its luck.
2) How would the scholar egoistic attitude not lead him out of the cave. Its luck.
Your point is right. Your story is wrong. This forum is filled with anals and egoistic people so you will get flamed. That includes me. -
1) nobody invents a maze and put 2 men inside if there is no exitOriginally posted by Xephone_xenon:Questions

the point of the thread is deeper than u think. Have u ever loved sumthing or loved someone so deeply , yr mind start to think
how is that u instinctively know yr loved ones/things mind wheareas u cannot read those who are not related to u
2) the scholar's mind is brainwashed by academics to the point that he doesnt know the symbols and signs have no meaning.
3) the point of the thread is who got out first, not never got out..
Most likely the the scholar is so egoisitic he is stuck in his academic world he may have never got out...Egosim have lead many to downfall and yes in rare cases to success, but not in this scenario -
If there is no mouse, The scholar would not have get out too wheareas the othe rman got a slight chance when looks for the subtle clues relating to his ordinary world and thinkingOriginally posted by freakass:This story is not substantial to prove the title of your thread.

The maze inventor intentionally did that and thats the whole point of this story..He wans to finds out sumthing. IF u got another version of the story then explain it...
The whole plot is not biased. The maze inventor will not do something which will not produce any conclusion to his experiment.
Like i said the important point of this story is that the Signs and sybols have no meanings at all... Even If they had meanings. the uneducated man will still have got out faster using the mouse.. -

let me ask u a Q:
what if the shcholar is stuck not able to solve a riddle at one point. He will be stuck. But the mouse will not get u stuck.
thats were he may come to his sense and follow the mouse.
So what happened to his academics? The were useless
And btw The maze inventor will not have a maze with symbols making sense and without a mouse with an uneducated man inside as the result is predetermined:
1)The uneducated man may have never got out
2) no guarantee that the scholar can solve all of the riddles and get out.
3) if both did not get out, the experiment has no conclusion
Even if the scholar gets out, the conclusion of the experiment is also predetermined and no point conducting the experiment -
The educated man sounds like the typical Singaporean to me. Parents pushing their kids too hard to study and do well in school and stuff.
-
I feel its a literature-like kind piece of work and it is his point of view. There's actually no right or wrong, maybe just what you believe in.
-
TS, that's just an isolated case.
-
how can the scholar solve riddles which have no meaning?
lIEK I SAID THE UNEDUCATEDD MAN WITHOUT A MOUSE MAKES THE WHOLE EXPERIMENT FLAWED. THE MOUSE IS THE CONTROL ITEM
