as we get older
as we get older.....
i've got this 'prophecy', 'theory', whatever you call it, that as people grow old, their skin becomes numb-er than when they were young. both physically and mentally. we just grow more immune to things, just like the way our body's immune system works. remember when we were young, when we hit our legs against the table by accident, i remember that the feeling was really excruciating pain!! but nowadaes we seem to hit our elbows against almost anything, but feel nothing.
i also remember myself just sitting at a corner of a restaurent while my parents were doing things like entertaining guests, or when i was sitting at the rear seat of my dad's car.. i remember those times being times of random but concentrated obervation of my surroundings. i seem to remember each name that i came across, each detail at home. from whether theres still milk in the fridge to how many cans of campbells soup was kept in the drawer. i seem to be able to remember details.
but now i cant seem to remember a thing!! i just forgot that i havent finished the pink dolphin that i bought to finance class!! what the. and i need tools to help mi remember my schedule. i tell u. i dont know my life without that book man.
and i suspect that thats going to cost me so much in the long run!! whats business? i think business rewards the best observers in the world. think abt it... : if you have a perfect feel of what the world is like, you dont need surveys, you dont need to hire people to market your product. you'd know what people are feeling. you can even predict what people will WANT!!! demand!!! i pride myself for having a relatively good sense of what the world ard mi is like? in more than 1 facet of life in spore.
how do you know that? u probaby get a good feel of yourself when most people agree with what you sae? like when you sae something is nice, most people would think that that thing looks pretty pleasant too? i'm not so sure.
been doing very badly for tests lately. i wondered when did i start having pride in my work one.. coz i remember when i was dunman high, sec 2 i was doing pretty badly. so i thought that hey, perhaps dunman high was a gd school so its normal to be an average student. so i din really bother about why i did badly and stuff. but suddenly my grades had a big turn in sec 3. it became really gd suddenly. i din put in special effort for that. it just came. fortunate huh. but well, now everyone seems to care so much abt grades coz they noe that the corelation between grades and money earned have never been more significant in our lives. the marginal cost of not doing well is much higher now than in sec sch or jc!!! my gdness. i wonder if publishing like this would spoil market. but well. its so obvious aniwae.
but come on. society is like what. it doesnt reward people with the best ideas. it rewards those who CAN COMMUNICATE other peoples brilliant ideas isnt it? communicate. overused word. overrated. abused.
