Independent Variable

Obviously I wont be writing anything if there isnt any issue for me to write.
And today,
While waiting for the time to pass,
I decide to scribble something which was in my thought a few days ago.
The title is "Independent Variable"!

We must learn to be independent as we grow up.
However,
The process comprises a plethora of patterns and styles
differing from one another
That's the variable.....
But the ultimate goal is the same
To Be Independent!

What trigger my thought about this is that
Many parents nowadays send their children for tuition
The tuition encompasses formal and non-formal education
ie Academic subjects, musical lessons, religious lessons etc
The list is not exhaustive.
It could be said that the heating competition has contributed to this rise
To think on the right way,
It could be good ad beneficial.
But on the opposite side of the coin,
it hinders the development of independent skill
A skill which no one could ever teach one another
But for they themselves to discover what it means

Overtly reliance on another person could be dangerous
Reliance has made independence unable to fit into the picture
of what our youngsters' perception might have to their life
And without this criteria,
They are far-fetched from the real society.

It could be argued that extra-curricular activities would do the job
But I dont see how it is going through.
On the surface,
they are said to be independent.
Going deeper,
are they?
Could they really make decision on their own?
Could they bear the responsibility of their choice?

Some might say that the time would do the job
Preferably yes
But it wont always be the case.
It goes ultimately to what we need to discover ourselves

As the education level going higher,
We wont be able to hire tuition teacher to what we're studying
It's all on our own.
The independence and self-discipline.

Spoon-fed, breast-fed are particularly emphasised
Even so,
We must at least try our best
To learn ourselves
I have no objection that learning from others is a bad thing
But could we really
at all time
Got what we want just from other people?
We seek for knowledge
It is only we do it our own that we could secure ourselves the knowledge

Practically,
We must step up from what we're afraid of
All of us could be independent
But the very first step
We must conquer our fear of no confidence
Be independent, Be a thinker.
Wait for no one, achieve the flexibility
Wait for someone, prepare for the best team work.

Some people might work best in group
But that doesnt omit the requirement to be independent
It is even a greater challenge if we work in group
Reliance towards the group would water down the aim
Dont be the bad egg
Be the smart ass......

The New Leaf Sprouts

The Year 2011 comes expectantly
With greater challenges
With greater enjoyment
The whole holidays of waiting
For the college life to commence
Is really tiring
Due to unforeseen circumstances
It had been delayed to 10 Jan
And now it has been two days....

It starts off with a really annoying sickness
Where I am down with high fever on the first day
And now I am barely able to think and converse
All I need is silence and time
For the disease to heal
But the study life still goes on
Many asked me
Why do I go to college
When I'm such sick
Well,
It's the first lesson.

The first day - Land Law.
If Ms N continues in such a way
She might be good
But homework has its weight
A lot to read up
A lot to prepare...
A lot new terms
A lot of new exposure...

Second day - Company Law
Ms P is really a good actress.
She has bombastic expression
But somehow the pace is too fast
Especially for me who dont have any foundation
in business knowledge...
Coming from pure science stream still has its disadvantage
I need to read up more on this subject then

Ms P said lawyers are very good actors
They could venture into drama, business, media
They are great story tellers
Indeed the statement proves to be true
Evidence? She's it!
I love the metaphor she uses to describe something
She's indeed is a good lecturer.

Only two days
I could feel the pressure
for second year
And,
I could know how much hard work
I need to put into my studies
It's really bulky
Law is not everything on reading
But reading is very essential
Merely reading of thoughts are insufficient
Dissection still carries on
We must know the right tissues to pierce through
Recognise the right veins and arteries at the split of moment
In the correct manner,
Perform the surgery.

I hope my fever would not worsen
Hope to get well soon
The journey awaits
And I have too much to follow up
Too much to be mentioned
The train is moving now
It would not stop until it's supposed to

How I miss my first year subject
Indeed I have greater passion for crime
It just sparks my interest
And I know crime is the thing
The other three subjects are interesting too
But least compared to crime
And now -
Land, Company, Tort, Evidence
A total different area
A total different study skill
A total different understanding required
Different expectation
New lecturers
With varying styles
Hope I could cope with the Second Year
Indeed,
It is a serious thing
and not a course to be mess with.
