Today is the last day of the first quarter of year 2007.

 

A discovery made by me is human get bored pretty fast than I can expect........How should I put it...

 

When there is a new game invented, all players are very exited and want to join the fun of playing the game. Game started with a lot of stumbling over the stones on the journey and not goes well as planned. However, players are still putting high hope on finishing the game and initially everyone is still very eager to correct whatever that is not right and continue the game with full enthusism. After all the struggling and failing down, players begin to master the game and continue to next level as expected.  Too much of failling and struggling begins to make players tired and boring and the feeling of leaving the game arise but they still need to finish at least the current level. Finally, when completing current level, players begin to look for other new games and try not to continue to the next level even though these players are still tie with the current game contract.

 

As time passed, the intention of leaving the game become stronger and stronger and influence the other players as well.  The game need to continue and the game initiator needs to find new players to replace the absence.  Now the game is tougher to continue with lesser players and more time needed for new players to familiarise the game.

 

Why players dare to aviod the participation while they are still bound to the game contract that signed before enroll in the game? Is the process of the game that scare players away? Is the game is too tough to continue or not worth to continue?

 

Think I must.......

 

Attending the Java Sun Tech Days 2006-2007 and met Father of Java Mr. James Gosling is one of the greatest honour for everyone who involve in Java technology either on work or study. Having said so, I was shock to see how my nation people behaved in this seminar.

 

My colleagues and I attended the JFS, Visual Web Pack and NetBeans seminar of this event today. The speaker was great, he talked about JSF and showed the audiences how easy the development can be done using NetBeans and the magic that JSF can do. Towards the end of his speech, he gave a few Java branded T-shirts to those who came on stage talking and exchange knowledge with him. Finally when everyone left the stage, I saw 1 guy and 1 lady were "calculating" the T-shirts that they managed to get from the speker just now. What I can see is, each one of them had one T-shirt on their hand(not sure about their goodie bags). However, what suprise me is, the guy knowing that the T-shirts are actually kept under the table on the stage, he went and took 2 more T-shirt beneath the table without any permission and both of them walked out from the conference room with much satisfaction and happiness. (The table was actually covered by a piece of red clothing material in the front)

 

Is this act consider "stealing"?  From the economic lessons that I learned, rare supply will have greater demand. Java branded T-shirt is "rare" and hence the demand will be high and when the T-shirts are free, it will have higher demand from consumer. My point is, why the 2 of them took the T-shirt without permission from the event organizer? If anyone of the event organizer would had noticed this, what will be their impression to our country people? There are a lot of foreigners attending the event and our government always remind its citizen to potrait good impression to the foreigners as a free advertisment to promote about our country and these 2 people had just "helped" to "impair" our impression.

 

How can a nation become strong if its citizen mentality is low and inferior? Who or what should be blamed for the "act"? Government? Education? Environment? Culture? 

 

 

Being a road user, my dreadful experince was yesterday night when a motorist suddenly speeding from 20 meters away towards me while me making a turn into the road near my house's junction. The road was clear without any vehicle for at least 20 meters, and this "insane" motorist came out suddenly was speeding faster and faster towards my car. As he/she came nearer, he/she make a corner turn in front of my car. My heart was almost fall to the floor when I saw this "fear factor" performance. It was lucky for both of us because I gave my way. If I did proceed without stoppping, the motorist will never perform his/her 45 degree corner turning but he/she will end up to be at God's side forever.

 

Why are such irresponsible people do exist in this world and manage to get their driving licence to perform "fear factor" actions on the road? These people are not only causing problems to themselves but also implicating other innocent people as well.

 

Where is the authorities while these irresponsible group of people performing their life threatening actions?

 

When can human "dispose" selfishness within him/herself for mankind sake?
