UPSR才放榜两天就有小妹妹自杀, 实在令人震惊.
在此,请让我们为她哀悼一分钟, 希望她能够早日安息.
来世再投胎做人可以不用那么执著, 为了几个A 就想不开, 上吊自杀, 有人不做, 却跑去做鬼.
拿不到好成绩可以不用死. 多拿几个A 并不会令我们肥几个kg, 少了几个当然也没什么大不了.
可是很多人不明白. 包括我... 一直到近来大病一场后, 我才开始体会这个道理.
其实, 很多贱骨头和我一样. 当局者迷. 当我开始成为旁观者, 想尽办法想把别人从A的陷阱里拉出来时,骇然发现他们都一直甩掉我的手,一直往深渊跳下去. 好像以前的我一样.
很多父母和学校都没有教育小孩如何面对失败. 市面上90%的激励书也一昧教我们如何成功. 古人都说花无百日红, 人无千日好. 不如意的事总是比如意的事多. 其实小孩在还小时, 走路跌倒后教他如何清理伤口,包扎好, 看清楚是什么东西绊倒他, 才慢慢站起来, 其实很重要. 这让他们在成长路上能够学会如何走出人生低潮.
如果小妹妹懂得这个道理, 她也不需要死了......
不要在悲剧发生时怪这个拜金社会, 歪曲的教育政策, 文凭主义至上害死小孩.
教他们如何处理不愉快其实更为重要.
我感恩一路求学路走来没有什么大风大浪, 崎岖难行的路.
希望未来也一样.....

M-shape society
M-shape society is an observation put forward by the Japanese business strategist and writer Kenichi Ohma. According to his observation, he argued that the structure of our society has emerged into a 'M-shape' distribution.
In a well-developed modern society, the distribution of classes is in a 'normal distribution' pattern, and the middle class forms the bulk of the society.
However, in the emergence of the 'M-shape society', the middle class in the society gradually disappeared. A very few people in this middle class may climb up the ladder and squeeze into the upper class, while the others in the middle class gradually sank to the lower classes. These people experienced a deterioration in living standard. They may face threat of unemployment, or their average salary are dropping.
Gradually, they can only live a way the lower classes live: e.g. take buses instead of driving their own car, cut their budget for meals instead of dining at better restaurants, spend less in consumer goods...
This seems to be seen clearer and clearer in the Malaysia society. In the recent reports, the undergraduates seem to have lesser salary and more and more of them do not even have a job and have to stay jobless for more than 6 moths.
Besides that, with the oil price rises higher and higher, people taking KTM,LRT,STAR are getting more and more. Then, with the prices to buy houses continue to rise and rise, how many of us can afford to buy a better house in KL?
What was worse, the writer argued that the upward social ladder seems to have disappeared - opportunities and fair competition become fewer and fewer. People in the lower class can no longer climb up the ladder: they cannot earn a high-paid job or have stable employment, even if they have a high level of education. The places in the upper class were reserved by the upper class for their descendants.
This indeed is very scary. Saudi Arabian prince alone can buy an A380 airbus but Malaysia don't even have money to buy an airbus yet. The shaping of M-society is getting clearer and clearer. Government should not be still running the racism favorship policy and should look deep into this matter. When the free-trade market become a reality in the future, we can no longer bar the wealthy giant oversea companies to invest in this country... We can no longer stop them from buying our local companies and lastly controling the whole MAlaysia...
