When i hear ppl's replies, i remember why i chose to keep quiet in the first place.
When i see how my sister studies, doing for the sake of doing, i recall how great my sec sch teachers were. What extra stuff they bothered to teach us, like mrs yeo which showed us how to derive all the equations for volumes and surfaces. Til date, i still remember that the surface of a sphere is 2/3 that of the surface of the cylinder that encompasses it. and that the volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the cube/cuboid that encompass it...and so on. haha such simple derivations then have led to more complicated ones as my studies progress...interesting...
another issue:
just want to say: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH. period.
If one insists, one would have to be prepared to bear the consequences.
when you want to say something, being human, a social creature, you would consider what your listeners' response maybe, the consequences that may result for it and from there make a decision whether to modify, moderate and simply just not say what was on ur mind.
So, forcing yourself on others who are uncomfortable with what you said, is inhumane. That said, the above may not apply to all situations, like a mother nagging and a child and so on. If goodwill is the speaker's intention, it would be unjustifiable to say that the speaker is inhumane, right. so apply when appropriate. hahaha
