while the article may not be fully true, it is like leadership, born or nurtured?

 

and again, i speak with some of my friends who hire poly and uni grads, well, there may be differences, in terms of breadth vs depth, and depending on which field you are in.

Intelligent people will rebel and ask many questions

 

Educated people wont question the system

muahahhaha...when u read it enuf, it confuses u....but well, it is his perspective

 

as the good ol saying. if you cannot convince them confuse them

 

 

i harbor on the fact that some who did not make school formally, are doing way better than some who have been educated up to masters.

 

 

I still believe that the 'university of life' still teaches u many valuable lessons. the basics in school are just that, the foundation. What you do with the knowledge as you move on, makes the difference. U may have it, but dun use it.

North korea people got guns pointed to their head......

 

If leaders have their way. Everyone who rebel would be send to firing squad.

 

Like Syria

this has been discussed here ad nauseum, ie, what defines success?

 

Most would give you the shallow 5Cs, but there is more to it, and as I mingle, I am seeing more going beyond that to include things like philantrophy, work-lifef, family etc. Success, is defined by whom?

 

Lots of Qns come up here esp during CNY visits....hahaha

I find the students now chum.... Indeed, the syllabus now is so much more application-based but the assessment is still exam-based. So, cannot spot question and at the same time kena graded like the old system. Die laa....
