Tis' The Season To Be Flabby
This vicious world may take everything away from you - your wealth, your loved ones, your pets etc. But your education and God is something that cannot be seized. Over the years, all your experience as a human, all your knowledge and wisdom is something that will follow till' you breathe your last breath.
An over-confident and hasty girl with a deranged mind made a very immature comment on a friend's blog - Education doesn't maketh a man, so what if you're smart?
I stand strong on my opinion that in this dog-eat-dog world, education is what counts. That harmless piece of paper could allow you to attain great heights, and be a somebody in the society. We are no longer living the days of the 50s-80s where you could hope that lady luck shines and you miraculously "made it big".
Now you could debate and retaliate by saying that in the entertainment and sports industry, education is not compulsory. In particular reference to Singapore, its quite impossible to strike gold by having this fantasy of being an entertainer or athlete. Yes, actors and sportsmen do make a decent living out of their jobs. But I'm talking about rubbing shoulders with the likes of David Beckham or some Hollywood star who rolls in dollar notes. Correct me if I'm wrong. If education doesn't make a man, then why does the Singapore government spend exorbitant amounts of money in the education sector? Why is it made compulsory that every child is entitled to a Primary School education or his/her parents could be put behind bars? Its grotesque to think that education isn't a key to a better future. Unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth or your parents opened a bank account for you that would last a lifetime. Then these people don't exactly deserve much credit because they are no far better than a worthless airhead. You gotta make it on your own. Start from scratch. Then what you reaped will be based on your own ability, and not by being some leech.
We drank, we ate and we made merry. All that's left is that beer belly and love handles. How about discounts on a personal trainer. The turkey, rich foods and booze are taking their toll. New year, new fat.

hi there! i totally agree wif u.. i mean... the world needs education!! the fact is, God likes us to engage with Him, not only in the spirit, but intelluctually as well.. a dull mind cant do tat.. God expects us to study hard, apply ourselves and shine for Him in our studies.. realistically speakly.. low education = low paying job (in most cases) = a life tat is difficult to bless others! How does tat glorify God? Education is essential. Education is in God's will. =)
