4.2.06 @ 22:43 i would like to pose a question to whoever reading this. if a pair of twins, both girls, have graduated from university and are working in the same place, who will be able to survive longer? you may ask what's the difference between the two girls. well, the difference is, girl A is a bookworm and knows nothing except those that are in the books. in her school days, she was a "book-aholic". her educational quotient is 100. but her emotional quotient is 0. on the other hand, girl B is a person who is street-smart. she knows her stuff, but relies more on her emotional quotient. she does the right things at the right time, which is so unlike her other twin. her educational quotient is around 70 while her emotional quotient is 100. she has got working experience when she had her holidays while her twin was lazing at home, waiting to be pampered by her parents. girl B also has got more hands on experience in all aspects of life, work and studies. so, who do you think can survive longer in the real world? well, i personally think that girl B can survive much longer. though she might not be as clever in studies as her other twin (her educational quotient is lower), but she is street-smart. she knows what she can do and what she can't do at a given time. she knows how to prioritize her time. even if she's thrown into the woods, i would say that she would be able to survive in there for a minimum of 2 days. she will know how to get around the area. though she might not have a map or compass. she knows her stuff and will know the do's and don'ts of survival. she also has an advantage of her work experiences that will prove invaluable to her in the real world. on the other hand, girl A, knows nothing but those in the books that she's read. yes, she might have read about a lot of things that girl B didn't but we only learn through hands on experience don't we? we might be able to know from books about which tissues we are supposed to cut through during an operation but we'll only know exactly which tissues when we are going through an operation or at least a virtual operation. we learn through our mistakes, not solely through books. girl A has been pampered too much. she's a spoilt kid. she don't know about how it feels when she fails. she has always been winning. and have never lost in her life. therefore, she think she's always right. she changes whatever her group mates have done in projects back in school. she does not care about other's feelings. so. i've done my side of the argument. what about yours? who do you think will excel in the real world? who do you think will happen to their futures? so alike but yet so different. they are born the same way. the difference is what they've done in their life. so. i welcome your opinions on this question. just want to know what others think about it. =) with love, xoxo |
