Of Unnecessary Competition,Fake Drama and Abstract Thinking
Things have been melancholic lately. Let me start with the unnecessary energy-wasting competition with the other group from a different country that combine classes with us. Come on ppl, they even compete to reach class earlier to ‘book’ places for their friends, rushingly pull out their credit book to be signed by one of the teachers(only one group should hand over their zachuts to this particular teacher)
This is so depressing coz they were friends with us since 1st year and now they are all changed after sharing classroom with another group of students during the last semester. Probably they thought all of us have same views…(the other group was looking-down on them). So here we are having to toleratet this unnecessary competition for ridiculous reasons.
Today I was looking at the teachers key chain and what I saw first was the formation of letter ‘E’ which I naturally thought is the initial of her name. Then whole class was surprised why I can’t see the elephant picture on top but the letter E. And all of them claim that they have abstract thinking and I’m not padahal I saw the abstract side of the key chain which is a letter formation not something drawn on top of it. Sometimes without knowing the real meaning of abstract mind,non-abstract-minded people judge the abstract ones and literally ‘insult’ them for being different while they fail to realize that these ‘different’ people are the inventors. I’m not boasting myself here,its just depressing when almost all what we say(which we know for sure it’s the fact) are debated as being wrong. How do we correct this hard-headed attitude of some people…..
Learning is only the first small part of studying to become a doctor….what matters most is the application of knowledge on daily life -in conversation, diagnosing patients, prescribing treatment etc.
