Freedom~
finally! i finished all my exams. today's paper wasnt that good. but i'm numb from it after wed's paper. stupid blogger blanked out on me after i typed the super long entry on wed. argh...really upset over the genetics paper. made so many mistakes. cos i didnt trust my instincts or interpreted the question wrongly. haiz...but anyway, i have all the time in the world now. time to get a job. i wanna go on holiday...qifen's in korea, weixiao in taiwan, jeff in tioman. and so many other friends going bangkok.
anyway, i wanna share an interesting story i heard on radio the other day. its not exactly a story but an experiment by an american scientist. he trapped a fly and a bee in a glass jar and put them in the dark. after some time, he shone a light at the top of the jar while leaving an opening at the bottom. guess which of them will escape and which will die in the jar?
the answer is the fly will escape while the bee dies. although the bee has a higher order of intelligence, most of it is based on logic. it only does things based on what it knows. so its logic is that the escape route must be where the light is. it will fly towards the light and fly around it until it finaly dies without finding the opening. cos in its world, it does not know anything such as glass. determined creature but inflexible. haha...
the fly on the other hand, has a lower order of intelligence. it does not know the logic of flying towards light. instead, it will just fly around ramdomly around the whole jar till it finds the opening. it will be able to escape very quickly.
so we must be flexible. if something fails, find another way till we find the solution. dont be bent on using the same method over and over. be the fly and not the bee. haha...
