something to share

Let me share an email i just saw not long ago, with sender info removed:

"

hello, it is me again. *********.

i think we should change the emphasis of the school.
we have to build rafflesians so that they will become well rounded people in the future.
other schools are very happy to let their students skip lessons and support their athletes.
why cant we?
are we so strong that the school have gotten used to such big events?
look at acsi.
everytime they will flood the competition venue.
and get all the attention.
and all the girls.
dont we feel pai seh?

"

Hahahahaha. It brings to mind two things:

One, during the tennis finals, i heard some guys saying, if the finals took cheering into account, we sure die one.

Two, a teacher saying that ri guys have poorer social skills than acsi guys.

Then i remember something else:

I remember reading that in a study, technical expertise was ranked pretty far back in a list of important criterias ppl will take into account before hiring top level staff. Social skills, ability to interact (whether with potential clients, bosses, co-workers and subordinates) were tops.

Of cuz, u can say, if i invent the next internet, i'll go RICH, nevermind whether i can talk to peeps or not. But hey, what if you dont invent the next internet? Where are you, after slogging all these years? stuck in rut, just cuz ur mouth doesn't move the right way, and nothing good comes out?

If not, what?

I wish i knew the answer.
