When you come to a restaurant, there's a certain typical situation that you'll face.
1. You come and sit, and given a menu. According to the restaurant that you chose.
2. You choose what you want to eat. They'll tell if a certain menu item is unavailable, and you'll have to choose something else.
3. The chef, obviously, will cook your food.
4. Like it or not, that's the food that you're gonna have. Thank God there's salt and pepper across the table.
5. Then, you eat it. And if you can't like it, or somehow refuse to eat it, you'll have to starve. Or you can order another dish, and waste some more time waiting for it.
Some chefs will want to know what you think about the food and ask for suggestions for improvements. This is so that they will be able to cook better for other customers. The chefs, of course, won't feed you. They'll just cook, and you'll decide whether you'll eat it or not.
A certain dish may not appeal to you, but it may appeal to another. And some people have their parents choose they food for them. Some will like that food and eat it until it's finished. Some may despise it, and forcefully eat it until it's finished, ending up dissatisfied, or refuse to eat it at all, also ends up in dissatisfaction.
The safest way is to choose it yourself. But remember, there's still no guarantee that you'll like the dish.
If you're a university student or a student at the similar level, you'll a bit familiar with this situation.
1. You finish the last level of education, and faced with choices of courses. According to the university that you chose.
2. You choose what you want to study. They'll tell if a certain course item isn't available for you and you'll have to choose something else. For me and my friends, we had to fill a list of preferences and the responsible ministry will sort it all out.
3. The lecturers, obviously, will lecture.
4. Like it or not, that's all that you're gonna get. Thank God you know another method of learning...
5. You have to listen to the lecture. And if you can't understand, or somehow just don't care, you'll learn nothing. Or you can change courses, and waste some more time.
Some lecturers will want to know what you think about the lecture and ask for suggestions for improvements. This is so that they will be able to make better lectures for future students. The lecturers, of course, won't 'feed' you. They'll just lecture, and you'll decide whether you want to learn anything from it or not.
A certain course may not appeal to you, but it may appeal to another. And some people have their parents choose their courses for them. Some will like that course and successfully end it. Some may despise it, and forcefully study it until the they graduate with high grades, ending up unsatisfied, or refuse to learn or study it at all, also ends up in dissatisfaction. The safest way is to choose it yourself. But remember, there's still no guarantee that you'll like the course.
That's quite all for this post. Thank you for reading.
Bah, mupok lok.
