24th Saying Farewell Crapbox

a bright future, for some, is one which is the path towards millionaire-ism..
a bright future, for some, is one which fulfills their ambitions..
a bright future, for some, is one which is fulfilling..
a bright future, for some, is simply one with happiness to look forward to.. -
pitot? dunno leh.. he may be out dating somebody.

To "motvate" us, a chemistry teacher during free time whipped out the starting pay for local policemen, big difference depending on what sh1t paper you have..Originally posted by The Emperor:well.. if that's the case, i would agree to some people saying that singaporeans are ignorant and having herd mentality.
no offence.
but the thing is.. if someone who has a passion for doing something which he doesn't even have a cert for, wouldn't his/her talents be wasted?
government always stress that they're looking for talents. but if the cert is so important, then talented people with no certs regarding the area will no longer have opportunities?
doesn't make sense.. but sometimes, people changes and their interests and passion change along with them too... -
he may appear later, who knowsOriginally posted by seow:Eh, funny leh, pitot not here.

So its the fourth one. -
seriously its the government's fault for placing so much emphasis on certs..and thats why peoples mindsets are tuned along over time..Originally posted by The Emperor:well.. if that's the case, i would agree to some people saying that singaporeans are ignorant and having herd mentality. no offence.

and erm the worse thing is that some teachers do look down on the standard of the N level too..especially the more elitist kind..oh well the world is like this.. -
where passion is redundant, and certificate is a mustOriginally posted by The Emperor:well.. if that's the case, i would agree to some people saying that singaporeans are ignorant and having herd mentality. no offence.

what you say is very true..Originally posted by seow:To "motvate" us, a chemistry teacher during free time whipped out the starting pay for local policemen, big difference depending on what sh1t paper you have..
even now cert > experience

Remembered, during the sec two camp, some focker said, "you have to listen to me because i'm in the express stream and you, normal."
-
A friend from the normal stream too.
Once he went express, he started to ignore greetings from past "normal" friends... -
a working world where certificate overrules everythingOriginally posted by stellazio:what you say is very true..
even now cert > experience
kinda sad huh?
it is sad, but then again, if passion and experience were put over certificates, would the future really be better?
new problems would probably surface.. -
that's y i say.. that u dun have to be so pessimistic about such comparisons. basically they r traps set up by the society to force our mindsets into utmost surrender and conformity to the worldly thoughts and beliefs.Originally posted by mystiv:where passion is redundant, and certificate is a must

the most important thing in life is to take pride in what you are doing. Doesn't matter what or who you are. As long as you have confidence and take pride in what you do, I'm sure you'll eventually gain respect for holding that value.
It's yourself that you have to face. Not society. Society is corrupted. But you must have dignity and diligence in your work. -
well we need both really..the one's with the cert up there in management cause they can supposedly think and plan better,whereas the experienced and passionate ones goes out to execute the plan..sadly it does not work this way..

Its in the form or a graph, rank by rank.Originally posted by stellazio:what you say is very true..
even now cert > experience
kinda sad huh?
The ite paper holder gets like 1.2-1.3k and the masters first degree etc holder gets in excess of 3k. -

And nowadays, i notice this.
The pupils in my class and the other are rather self-centred, damn cham.
During physics, i was the only one with a calculator, everybody wanna lend and keep hogging it, but when i ask if anyone could help explain the terms i did not understand, no one bothered at all.
Lucky got a friend who bothered who bothered to explain.
