It’s strange to be labelled as an elite. It’s stranger to be the most educated compared to the majority. I suppose I am put into another spectrum of the society, to be placed at the side where I’ve never seen. It’s rather interesting because everybody I know well enough are constantly fighting to be above average without putting those less educated than us into the spectrum of comparison. It’s kinda sad that we have totally excluded them from our perception of what is average, who we are.

In as much as they may be the minority of sorts, they are still a significant number la!

I found it exceeding disturbing to be compared to the others using education as a benchmark. Being questioned of my inability to perform certain technical skill while those less educated could deliver better. I don’t suppose our education put us on a single line of comparison with those poeple more educated to be on the better end. This, in my not-at-all humble opinion, is absolutely shallow.

It is only humane to not judge what manner of person one is and his capabilities or potential through his education. Got it?

Moving on, I’ve an awesome team for the next year or two. Provided I don’t fail in health again. Gah. Be back to write more later.
