We are coming to an end of the year. 2008. How do you see 2008?. Ups and downs. More Ups or Down?
I think lets come back to look at it when we are in 2009 :D
Recent news about the world has somehow affected some of us. It really helps if someone is interested about what is going on around the world. However, as far as i noe, I dun see alot of ppl ard me really concerned about what is really happening.
Their answers will be like ..'' Don't know and Dont care''
It's quite sad to hear these kind of answers though. It just shows how well we know about the world. These ppl are just more concerned wat courses they are studying in the university, how well they want to do to go up dean list. But do they know what they are studying in university, may become OBSELETE when they graduate?
They will argue, '' once i noe I am the best in the subject, I noe i can get a job anywhere''
There's nothing wrong with the answer, and its is a very good answer. But the question is, how sure are you that the subject you studying wont become OBSELETE when you graduate?
We are all living in a different environment everyday. We dont know which bank may collapse tomorrow. We dont know which company will call for bankruptcy tomorrow. We dont know which company or industry will go into the history books. So many things happen everyday, and ppl are apathetic about it. They just know it's good to study university, and they are safe:D
I think many of you guys out there have seen friends regret the courses they have chosen to study for 4 yrs in uni. 4 yrs later, they say they should have studied '' ...'' , ''...'' . This is jus wasting of time. 4 yrs can do alot of things. However, they just have to accept the consequences.
Many a time, people chose subjects to study , with the wind. When the wind is blowing Life Science, all go life science, w/o fully what is lifescience to them.When the wind is blowing Business!, all follow Business! when they think business jobs can earn alot!. But when they went thru exams, they dont understand much abt it, they dont like it, they regret.
Just remember: Dont be led blindly.
Ultimately, all these comes down to how much you know abt ur surroundings, abt the world issues, abt ur region. If you dont know, you will just be led blindly. Information is priceless.
These goes to the same for our health.
If ppl ard you are apathetic abt current credit crunch, recession, it's still acceptable, as these wont kill them YET. However, if they are apathetic abt their health, and health issues, seriously, we got to wake them up.
If ppl are stil living in their own world, they will know that all milk are healthy products and shld be taken everyday, despite news told them abt melamime being contained in milk products. Not knowing wat is happening, they just continue picking same old milk products, and maybe they doesnt know wat melamime is.
If ppl are unaware of their country health problem, they may continue eating chickens, when they duno that 1/2 of their country's chickens have been killed becos of H5N1.
Most people, usually, does not really bother much abt anything, until something happens to them or somebody close to them.
When ppl know that wat they are studying will be useless in the society, they will start to panic and find a solution, and really go into deep thoughts wat they shld do next.
When ppl know that they have contacted some diseases/ illnesses because of their unhealthy eating habits, then they panic and quickly read up more on the illness, and finding cures to them.
However, do we know that sometimes it can be too late to realise it?
By the time you want to change your course of study, you are already in ur final yr. When you decide to change course again, study again, you may have lacked your friends by at least 3 more yrs. AND, how sure are you that your new subject wont be obselete/useless like your 1st subject that you have given up?
By the time you know you have cancer, do you think there is a 100% cure for it? Cancer is not caused by cancer itself. Cancer is just a symptom of the illness. When you have it, you read up more abt the illness, and then START taking precaution of ur eating habits. Do you think it has already been too late to watch your diet now?
People say '' Prevention is always better than Cure''
Agree. But how many ppl really follow this?
It's easier said than done.
Somethings have happened to me, and now i taking all the precaution to prevent it. Because I knew I have it, and I do not want to wait till that day to say '' I shld have..'' Its too late then.
I hope guys out there do the same too. Watch out for your health before its too late....
