You know how in Facebook and Twitter, people post all these quotes of successful people and how un-successful they are in school? IT ALWAYS MAKES ME WONDER, if they're telling us that people who are successful in school will eventually work for the people who weren't.

all these successful people had it bad in their childhood. Like for example, they're publicizing the fact that Oprah got raped before, just to tell people to never give up.
Not sure how to feel about that.
What kind of message are they giving us? That if no one tells us that we suck, we won't be successful? THIS IS SO CONTRADICTORY WITH WHAT THEY'RE DIRECTLY TELLING US.
I am so confused.

And also they also talk about how *almost* all these successful people are college drop-outs.
Are they telling me that if you want to be successful, you should drop out of college? Or they're just telling us that if college doesn't work, then don't go? Or they're telling us that even if we drop out of school, there's still a beacon of hope waiting for us.

But of course this "there is still hope" thing will only happen if you're the determined type.
Which makes me conclude that all successful people have similar characteristics. Not completely the same, but similar.


BUT NOT EVERYBODY LIKES TO THINK DEEP LIKE THIS. Some people just see it and go all, oh well, teachers call me a failure so I guess I'm gonna be successful one day

So I urge everybody to just have a dream and work towards it. Cos who cares if you were a drop out or not? If you were, people might just use that as some sort of comforting excuse to drop out of school as a starting point for your success. If you were raped, they'll use that. If you had a terrible (monks don't really live a terrible lifestyle, do they? Chinese aunties are so free. I saw this monk in Leisure Mall wearing his robe tucked into a pair of shorts, holding a smart phone. SO AWFUL HOR.) life, they'll say that terrible phase of life you went through as the titik permulaan of your enlightenment.

So fuck all these propaganda shit, just have a dream and never give up on it.
