If You Can't Beat Them... Join Them!

It's been 3 months since i became an educator and I'm loving every minute of it. Everytime I step into class and start my lecture I can feel the excitement of the education world. Yes I have totally become a nerd. But I have fun, teaching my students all the knowledge I have, flash backs through my working experiences and seeing them interested in all the tiny details just made me satisfied with where I am career wise.

Though there are a few classes I prefer not to teach, with the students as rude as orcs, it still didnt change the fact that I am destined to be a lecturer. Yeah, once I was offended by the rude remarks as I got upset and left the class in hope to fail them all but I took a few minutes to just breathe and understand why they do it. I was a student once and i had this attitude that probably annoyed my lecturers back then. So what if they throw in a "stfu", a bunch of slutty giggles and snores off your lessons? Seriousness is plain boring. And if you cant control their behaviour by being remarkably pissed at them. JOIN THEM.

So everytime I enter class I see things through a new perspective. They are no longer monkeys that we're feeding in a zoo. (where sometimes i feel like bringing in a bunch of bananas to shut them up) But they are immature little beings who still can't tell the differences between "dos"and "donts" It's my job to set a good example and teach them what they need and how they take it, it's up to themselves. I can only do so much as a lecturer. I can't teach them how to become a human being. But I can teach them how to become engineers. And I enjoy sharing the jokes and laughters of the kids. Why be serious when you can be positive and have fun :)

Quest For The One...

While I was flipping through January's CLEO this morning, an article caught my attention. It was something about how guys are in search for "the one" woman that he claims his soulmate. Yeah, we so have been assuming the typical girl that guys want, the goodie-two-shoes, low maintenance, pretty face wh0 says basically nothing but does everything. The kind of girl who guys can feel good to be around with and have like 200 things in common. Then we roll our eyes and sigh when we fall to number 218 on the "the one" list of choices.

Is it fair that they (men*) get to choose the type of women they want to end up with and women have no choice but to 'settle' for any man that comes along? Is it because the population of women is larger than men that gives them the advantage of being "picky" and have the upper hand of being in control when it comes to soul-mate choices? Or is it their ego that gets them to this point where women just have to wait in line to be chosen?

It actually goes both ways. Women don't have to 'settle' for anyone who comes along if they don't desire to. Yes, it's true that choices are limited. The main reason why women don't get to pick is because there's not enough men of quality in line. All the good men are either taken, gay or dead. So what's left to be 'the one' for women? Some choose to just be found. Let the men do the seeking. Some choose to be single and focus on careers. While others, in desperation joins in the Fellowship of the Man-hunters.

Most women tend to seek for that 'father' quality in a man. While men are looking for beauty, a great cook, a great body etc, all women really wanted is for someone who's man enough to be a good father for their children. A man responsible enough to take up that job unconditionally. And the quest for "the one" will come to an end :)
