The Road Ahead: One pot-hole, and boom!

I must admit, my cold deameanour lately has got people all wondering who died.

Well, I'm not quiet for no reason. I realised something after reading all the post-College Day entries on people's blogs. Lots of people are utterly moronic and stupid. Some, like my students, really test my patience. But, there are just as many out there who are successful. And all you need to run this world are just a few really smart people. The rest will be working for these people.

Academic results are one thing, but what we do now, what courses we choose, the people we mix with, the stuff we expose ourselves to in the media, all these will shape the person we will be in 10 years.

Whether we'll be the next Stephen Hawking or the Korean scientist who faked his results, or the next bill gates or TT Durai, every single small factor comes into play, whether you'll be successful or a loser.

Intergrity, creativity, personal networks, luck etc.

The life ahead of us will be hard and uncertain. And for the stupid CD Mat like me, what lies ahead?

And people can still wonder why I look like shit nowadays. I'm 19 going onto 20, and I have no life plan. My live-life-in-the-moment doesn't work anymore. I've got to start planning. And guess what? I don't know jackshit.

I can only hope that the many of us destined to work for the great few don't know what to do too. Cos, Highway To Hell is playing right now, and it's just such an apt theme song for the way life is heading right now.

LOL. Wait, this isn't funny.
