Different World

Came back from Arshan's house, 1 wakeup call to get me evaluating myself again and life. His dad succumbed to liver cancer. Then another world emerged before me when comparing to Uni to work and to the elite with the ideas. All heading towards the same conclusion. To be a skilled worker and to be payed as much as possible for it.

One is superficial, with objectives and methods too theorethical for practical use. It's meant more too prepare the mind of the students for the demands of working life. The other is sitting in the knowledge goldmine and feeling miserable that npthing happening with the same boring and pathetic days where you count the minutes to the end of the days and dread every otehr moment when you return to the same routine.

And there is the last one which came to me as a surprise, from the most unlikely of sources. Seems like the past few weeks have thought me never t judge a book by it's cover. Now this is the world of optimists and oppertunists. If you hang around those that have it, it'll rub off onto you. I'm still stunned, trying to get this down for fear that if i sleep i might forget it. We never realise what we are really capable of doing until what we see what other people are doing.

Thought of the day:
" We fail when we don't even bother to try "
