I can relate well to the English
compre that we received to do summary for the March Holidays.
The first thing I recalled is a post from Mr Khan blog -
I'm searching for modern happiness. (Must read)
I have no patience. I can't stand it
each time upon reaching my bus stop, I see my bus drove off. Just on time. It happens like.. all the time. Always make you think like, "fuck if only I didn't spend an extra minute on the computer, I wouldn't have to wait for the next bus... which comes in.. forever."
Just like when I hate waiting for the queues of demanding food stalls and long travel times, traffic jams and
yadda yadda yourma.
I remember the time at Vietnam, where it took 4hours to travel from one part to another part of
Ho Chi
Minh City... nothing compared in Singapore where you can be transported from From
Changi to
Tuas in less then 2hours. You can even cycle around Singapore in a day. Are we lucky? But we are complaining how long it takes for the bus to arrive, bus to move, bus to reach. I can even walk to my school. I'm pretty sure most of the people overseas won't have such
privileges..
Things are now being done like in lightning pace. We can't afford to lose an hour, lose a minute, lose a second. Time is precious, indeed. But what do we do with the time we save.. certainly not something productive is it? Time still flies like no tomorrow. Snap and the March holidays are gone. Snap and the June holidays are gone, and snap, the horrific O'levels are here (but snap and it is still the o'levels).
Although time is precious and time is limited, one should make the most out of our time, but that in turn will cause our patience grows nonexistent.
Remember everything needs a balance. Too little or too much of everything is never too good. One example - too much studying = brain overloaded, too little = exams fail. It is about what you do with it and how you do it.
But no matter how much I seem to know about time management, I can never seem to apply 'it' well.
Humans are such contradictory beings, thats why things don't make sense.
