What I dislike about school now.

1. RP is money-minded.
2. RP facilitators (most of them) love to criticize students performance.

1. RP super loves money now. They charge for loaning laptop for the day which used to be free. None of my business. They charge for repairing laptop which used to be free. Now I cannot reformat my laptop as and when I like. And now what? They fined us $5 if we forgot to bring our thermometer. Luckily I got bring. And somemore a lot of media, newspaper kept broadcasting about it. It make my school so like money-sucker. But anyway I don't care anyone cause almost everywhere is talking about money money money now due to recession.

2. For the past two years, I have been criticized by don't know how many facilitors. Somemore they still dare to ask in reflection journal how can you learn from criticize. Normally students will say they learn from it but did they really learn from it or just say say only? I am one of them who say say only but never really action on it. I believe many of you are like that too. I can say all this confidently because I happened to see the below aticles yesterday.

If one day a facilitator put in the reflection journal about what can you learn from been criticized, I will sure shoot them with what I think and get a F only if the facilitator provoke me first. If not I will still be a good girl. WAHAHA!

Article: Resist the urge to criticize (Just read the bold point)

When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.

If you attend a gathering and listen to all the criticism that is typically levied against others, and then go home and consider how much good all that criticism actually does to make our world a better place, you’ll probably come up with the same answer that I do: zero! It does no good.

But that’s not all. Being critical not only solves nothing; it contributes to the anger and distrust in our world. After all, none of us likes to be criticized. Our reaction to criticism is usually to become defensive and/or withdrawn. A person who feels attacked is likely to do one of two things: he will either retreat in fear or shame, or he will attack or lash out in anger. How many times have you criticized someone and had them respond by saying, “thank you so much for pointing out my flaws. I really appreciate it”?

Criticism, like swearing, is actually nothing more than a bad habit. It’s something we get used to doing; we’re familiar with how it feels. It keeps us busy and gives us something to talk about.
If, however, you take a moment to observe how you actually feel immediately after you criticize someone, you’ll notice that you will feel a little deflated and ashamed, almost like you’re the one who has been attacked. The reason this is true is that when we criticize, it’s a statement to the world and to ourselves, “I have a need to be critical.” This isn’t something we are usually proud to admit.

The solution is to catch yourself in the act of being critical. Notice how often you do it and how bad it makes you feel. What I like to do is turn it into a game. I still catch myself being critical, but as my need to criticize arises, I try to remember to say to myself, “there I go again.” Hopefully, more often than not, I can turn my criticism into tolerance and respect.

But anyway life still have to go on. I will forgive and forget those who criticize me. If you happen to criticize me in future, I will still forgive and forget you.
Because life is short to waste time and energy on negativity, I rather put them to better use.
So let me roll eye to Loser~
