One of yujie's post caught my eye recently, read it
"it sucks how some people understate their abilities intentionally, claiming they don't know how to do a certain thing, then showing off thereafter in a desperate craving for attention and validation. now draw the line between humility and understating your abilities for that tad bit of ego boost.like how some people put in their msn nicks "sigh... screwed physics" when they get a 95% so that others will be like "whoa, i thought you said you screwed it, 95% is brilliant!" and self-gratify as a result, adding 20 points to their ego bank."
Woah, i mean just one paragraph is enought to trigger off an influx of thoughts inside me. Yes, I really hate them, on the outside, they act out so well in such a way that you would definitely associate gloom and doom with them, on the inside, they seem to be rubbing their palms with apparent glee, knowing that on the day the results are released that they would surely clinch an a1 and the whole class would be doubly impressed with all the ecstatic cries and praises heaped upon the supposedly "doomed" individual. Results out, wow, what a change, from gloomy sad faces to faces flushed with success and glory, an high A1 definitely registered in their minds as something " die la, so hard, sure fail".
However seemingly so impressive, deep down i really scorn them, for that bit of satisfaction u get receiving all the praises and glimpses of admiration, you resort to these techniques to even "heighten" ur abilities to us.
It infuriates me to even think of it...
life can be a burden, but dun ever give up
