developing world, a developing me
wow it's been ages since i've last been here. i guess it's just a telling sign of how absolutely busy i've been at work. interestingly, contrary to what most working adults tell me, i find working fun and more stimulating than studying. i think it's the knowledge that the work that you do is ultimately being appreciated in a tangible manner at the receiving end, and not tossed to some faceless marker who grades your papers because he/she is paid to do so. i like the idea of knowing that the consumer who desires my work uses it for a meaningful purpose, and is advancing the economy or world through my work. it's just the overall satisfaction of being able to contribute to society. i guess now i truly understand what it means to be a "you2 yong4 de2 ren2." (a useful person)as i grow used to working life, i begin to develop different perspectives of the world and different theories of why the world works the way it does, and consequently how i think it should be worked in order for it to be better. of course i have my idealistic dream about how i think an utopian world ought to be run, ought to be organised, but i also recognise the limitations of my dream, chiefly that people don't share the same worldview or value system as i do, which will make it hard for them to accept my point of view. ever felt that you know you're so right about something and you're bursting to share with everyone the truth that you've found, and yet no one will believe you? it's the anguish i go through these days.
