random thoughts that come to my mind: aka claire's theories

from a stats student's point of view:

at this point in time, u may feel that the next sentence is not true. your hard work will pay off; u reap what u sow... therefore if u put in a lot of effort, u will do well. assuming that u will live till the age of 80 years old(even though facebook said u will die when u r 30 yrs old.. haha), it means that u have only lived for 1/4 of ur lifetime. the number of downs u have experienced in ur life so far may seem to be a lot; u dun seem to see the delicious fruits of ur labour. u start to wonder why u should continue to work hard. imaqgine if u gave up, wouldnt ur life be even worse? it is highly possible that ur sample size is not big enough. ?!? maybe, at the age of 80 years, when u count the total number of ups and downs, u will realise that there are more ups than downs.....

from an econs student's point of view:

if there is no incentive for being upset, then why should i feel sad? if worrying doesnt solve my problems, then why should keep on worrying? if being pessimistic brings about negative externalities and harm to myself, then why should i continue to be a pessimist? why waste scarce resources(in this case, its the limited energy that i have) on these? since i am given a choice(being a rational "producer"), i will choose to be happy, worry-free and optimistic, only then will i be able to achieve allocative efficiency :)

from a drama addict point of view:

u never know what is coming up in life. HOPE might just be round the corner :)

p.s: mid term exams are just round the corner. i hope my good luck will last long enough.

do i make sense? haha.. i guess i'm the only one who understands this post.
