Nothing is sexier than success
Ok, I’m about to sound like a babbling idiot…so if you’re easily disgusted by that kind of nonsense, you may want to go somewhere else?
Otherwise, you can listen to me whine: I don’t know how the fuck people manage to make so much money.
Even the post-secondary programs I’m aiming for, Queen’s and Schulich business (which are top business schools in Canada), record an average of only $60,000 salary from its graduates (but it was only starting pay). So I’m wondering how the fuck people manage to buy houses that cost around 1 million dollars.
I see so many of them around my neighbourhood. My neighbour, an idiot, lives in a house that costs $1.5 million.
It’s so damn depressing to realize once in a while just how hard life is. Some of us apparently have it easy…recall of those clichés relating to kids in Africa – but I bet they’ll never have to work their ass off to pull a 95% average or squeeze through a 5~10% admission rate!
And it’s so god damn stupid that Average Joes (all you Joe the Plumbers out there) tend to advocate mediocrity. But the truth is, if you want to succeed big, you have to first do well in school and build your future from there (well no shit, Sherlock). What the fuck, I can’t even picture myself settling to go to some 75%-average program……I would lose so much self-respect
Blehehehh
And another thing that pisses me off is that so many douchebags kiss their teacher’s ass and get ahead of everyone else. Yeah, go ahead and argue that that’s also a type of competence – but keep in mind, you douchebag, that you’ll have to cheat for the rest of your life if you start cheating this early on. Those people do not deserve to live.
We need to fuck this bullshit-nonsense called “bioethics” and support fully the development methods to reliably measure (psychometrics, etc) and enhance humans as a species. Then we can fuck this horseshit public education and assign individuals to jobs that they truly deserve – since this would call for a reform on public education as a tool to nourish minds, not to filter out individuals according to their intelligence. (warning: potential bullshit ahead)
Then maybe even communism would be possible…but that’ll have to come at a price of even adjusting personalities to a certain degree…maybe…?
But that’s a whole different issue. I’m sure, nonetheless, that developing such methods would resolve much of my complaint…lol
Anyways, it’s time for me to stop dreaming and get back to my regular schedule with struggling my ass off to survive my final year of high school…I now believe I can totally pull off 90%+ in French. I just need to rape the presentation on monday and everything will be uphill from there…hopefully

…OMGGGG totes agree with the kissing ass of teachers thing. We have an expression in chinese for that…pai ma pi…pretty much like fanning over their stupid horse asses, it’s kind of a weird expression.
They drive me crazy, especially when teachers don’t realise that they’re really incompetent and that there are competent people sitting all around in the class and not needing to kiss up to someone to do well.

But if we start assigning roles to people they lose their freedom of choice (or @ least the illusion of freedom). You can’t expect everyone to be happy in a society where jobs are assigned. Just like u can’t expect everyone to be happy in ours. If someone is to succeed, countless others need to fail. In order for someone to be ridiculously rich and have other people that do his/her chores, there has to me lots of people who’ll wipe his ass 4 money. Otherwise, every1 would b dirt poor. Besides, kissing up to the teacher is no different that kissing ur future boss’s ass. Those ppl r just gettign early practice. Don’t pretend that this sort of thing isn’t necessary. While a communist system might solve all ur complaints of the current establishment, how many more problems will it create for every1 else (it might even give u more 2 bitch about)? I’m not saying ur wrong. But it seems to me like ur seeing things a bit too monochromatic.

That’s the traditional way of thinking, Fran. Happiness is merely how we define it.
