The Times Are Changing

The times are changing.
Nigel and Darren are out.
School life is awesome.

Once upon a time, school felt boring. Nothing happens. Nothing changes. We go on in class, people get scolded, homework, tests...
But now, we have awesomeness.
Now, we have randomness.
Now, we have thingy-ness.

And class is in chaos.

Its pretty amazing that we actually still manage to go on with lessons, at a pretty normal pace at that. It truly is much more exciting than the normal things we usually have, especially since all our teachers are much more lenient and epic. Sometimes, its not about trying to make life more interesting, its merely about giving life the chance to make itself more interesting. Let's look at an example of how waiting for things to happen makes things happen:

I heard this story from someone I know. Basically, he got stuck outside his house together with his brother. He somehow left his key behind when he left, he then had two options:
Look for his parents, who were having a meal somewhere.
Wait for his parents to return.

He picked the former, and his brother decided to wait there. And guess what, his parents returned and opened the door for his brother while he was failing somewhere over the rainbow.

This proves 1 thing:
Chinese Proverbs/Idioms (cheng yu) fail.
守株待兔 was disproven.

Again, lets go back to the topic about class chaos. I do believe that none of us (2I1) actually did much to result in the current situation. If we had tried to help, we may still be stuck with 3 of the biggest troublemakers in iSpark.
I'm merely speaking the truth, or what I believe to be the truth, perhaps I should discuss truth in another post ;). There are some things that you have to leave to time to do the dirty work, while there are many other things that we actually have to do ourselves.

But hey, in the end, those who actually do things would probably accomplish more than those who doesn't do anything. Yet, those who don't do anything would still be able to accomplish something.

To end off this post, I'd like to remind everyone:
Haste is the assassin of elegance.

I doubt anyone actually reads this, though ;P
