The Search for Reason
 

 
The music of awakened Solitude, is like the dance of falling leaves; the sound of silence carried by the tinkling of bells a thousand miles away.

I am thinking of taking up a second degree, probably in terms of business and marketing. If anyone is to ask me why I would contemplate losing sleep, travelling hours a week, and using what few hours I can squeeze to study, I probably might not be able to come up with a good answer, except that maybe I like to find things out and find out how it all works.

And I figured that if I am to truly go into teaching, I would really need to know more, especially about how the world works. Knowing and teaching the kids what is in the textbook is totally meaningless to me. Having a teacher without real life experiences, who has never written a resume, or done any jobs other than teaching, will not be helpful to a child's future at all.

In terms of career guidance, or in terms of knowledge of the skills and qualities required for the modern workplace, or the social etiquette involved in personal relationships at work, they could contribute little to a child's understanding.

Someone has to teach these children about the rules of the world out there. My friend had told me that I am probably the best person to teach the General Paper in Junior Colleges but I will end up being the most disappointed one.

But we will see, we will see.
