Was chatting with a fren in msn today. She told me that something happened in school today that swayed her decision to be a teacher by a bit. A lot of teachers have been telling her not to join the teaching force and she thinks that perhaps there's something with the system that makes many teachers lose the passion. She finds great satisfaction when students do well, something that she can't find in sales. However, she wun go to the extent of super extra work for them....

Frankly speaking, I do not know how much of a passion she has. Just my own thinking, that if someone has a passion for something, they'll go all out for it, isn't it? Or maybe her super extra work means giving remedial till 9pm every night to students?? Well, if teaching is her dream, then go for it! Dun let others shake the goals. The world is full of people who'll tell u 1001 bad things to keep u from getting what u really want.

Well, perhaps adults have been jaded by everything around them. Or is it society that makes them think that as an adult, "I must complain about everything", challenge everything so as to make "me" look wise, or have the "I am right" mindset. It's more rampant in the previous generation whereby the man in the house is seen as an authoritative figure and nobody can challenge them, and that's why when the kids grow up, they become like them. Perhaps that's why we always meet negative and jaded adults, who had lost the zest in life, who goes around telling everyone with dreams to be more realistic, to be more down to earth, and perhaps subtly, to be as poor, as bad and as pathetic as them. And worst of all, thinking that their one and only job as an employee is the most stable job in the world...
