Thursday 21 January 2010

Today was just like any other day except something happened. The principal made an impactful speech and according to him, he's controlling his temper. He said this: We are like a frog in a pot of water that has gradual increment of temperature. Not reacting immediately to slow increase in temperature, the frog will then slowly be boiled to death.

Simply meaning that we are not active in what we are doing, we only become active when there is something very impacting that happened to us, active in the sense that we change how we do some things etc. And I believe that this is the very particular effect of Significant Emotional Experience. Well, I'm not really sure if I've really been through it but along the way in my life, I did try to make some differences in myself. Looking back at 2 years ago, I think my behavior in doing things did change when I compared to the now me. 2 years ago, I am always the extremely timid little mouse in the class, not saying much things in fact. However, 2 years from then till today, I never would have thought that I would take up the role of an OSL and even a speaker for the wws interest group in SRJC (opps, can't say too much about this part, secret XD). Change is the only constant, somehow, I think I know what it means.

He also made this point straight or something like that: A levels is a test of whether we are able to think intelligent when we formulate answers, whether we can give our own comments on issues, there's thus no final answer. I don't really remember what he said about this part but I think he did mention that A levels is not about having a definite answer which is why copying of model answers is not advised. Pardon me if I made a mistake, kinda tired now. Anyway, whatever he said did gave me the feeling that I should do something for myself.

Anyways, today's house meeting for identity was kinda screwed but for the cheers was definitely great and fun!

I just finished half my pending homework for tomorrow and I'm going to sleep now and go school earlier to complete the rest. Goodnight!
