Life
Today, I typed in Google something about NBS Excel and Access quiz and I came across a few students' blogs.
So, being the nosy me, I went around and read a couple of their posts each and really it was all revolving around school. Most of which are complains and ranting about how school is so tough, stressful and boring.
For me, I won't deny that it is indeed stressful and relentless, but I don't expect University life to be simple in the first place. It's a harsh battle among the best who have made it to University. You can't expect them to be letting you win or anything like that.
Its competitive, yes, but that will only make us stronger. Its like what they say, perfection sucks because that means you can't improve anymore, its the end of the road.
So in this case, its about the same thing really, if you keep yourself surrounded by average people and then you become the top among them, there's really nothing much to be happy or contented with. Even if you are very comfortable in that kind of setting, you will be trashed and obliterated by the immense pressure when you go out into the real world.
That is where all the professionals are. They are the top of the top who have emerged victorious in their respective faculties in their respective Universities. They have sharpened their skills in the outside world and you, who have just came out is really vulnerable.
So really, I think University life is tough but it's merely a training ground for the outside world. If you can't keep a positive attitude towards challenges and improvements, then your growth rate will be heavily impeded and at the end of the day, you will end up sinking towards the bottom of the chain.
This might sound severely harsh to those reading this, but the truth hurts. Not that you must be despicable to survive or to backstab to survive, I think most importantly, it is to have a positive mindset and attitude towards everything you do.
Give it your all. You might face challenges along the way, but the truth is, nothing is simple nor easy.

Time Person of the Year
Mark Zuckerberg has been named the Person of the Year for 2010 by Time Megazine.
Well, as usual, there were a lot of criticisms for the choice made and to be honest, I'm not his greatest fan as well.
However, I guess the best man wins. He is indeed very talented.
Sometimes, we forget that he is from Harvard and being able to create Facebook which has created a worldwide phenomenon linking more than half a billion people together, it is indeed a fantasy.
A fantasy of social network.
There are so many talented computing students out there from Princeton, Harvard, Imperial, MIT but yet no one came close to creating a phenomenal product that could link so many people together.
But Mark did that. Of course, he admitted that he made all the mistakes that an entrepreneur can possibly make but at the end of the day, he knows it himself. He is changing for the better and is constantly trying to make life better for anyone.
He has promised to donate half of his wealth to charity and that is not something everyone is willing to do. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have been trying their best to gather a lot of billionaires but a lot of them refused.
Being only at the age of 26 and already being so sensible and talented, he definitely deserves the recognition. Yes, he encroached into our privacy moments and even sold the information to advertisers before but at least now he repented. He promised to not betray our trust anymore. Whether that is true or not is not important because to be honest, once you step into the world of Internet, you should already be prepared to sacrifice your privacy. Even if Mark does not betray your privacy needs, someone else will.
Yep, so all in all, we should not condemning him because he is talented. We should celebrate the fact that he created Facebook and congratulate him instead!

AA101
Hi all,
Just a quick update before I get back to my books.
Just had the AA101 Exam today and I would say it was relatively easy.
But I got the AA101 Project back and I got a B.
Well, its not the most fantastic grade but I guess its over already.
So no time to waste to brood over it, time to prepare for my IT exam this saturday :)
