Exams are coming, and I hear people are stressing out. Writing up reports, catching up on lectures they lagged behind, or some are rushing to complete their assignments. Of course the economist within me will start to highlight the externalities of these horrid products. Sleepless nights, lack of concentration, stress. Funny thing though, is that I don't seem to feel it. In fact, I seem to have lost it. I sit here in front of my computer knowing that its not productive, but yet I seem to know that somehow things will work out. I seem to have chance upon a balance that is oddly unsettling. You say, why not throw yourself into the abyss of stress that you knew so well for the last 10years of Singapore education. I wish I could use an illustration from FRIENDS, but it's too difficult. I blame the Singapore education system for my worry now. A system where stress is what drives success. Where mistakes form failure. Where creativity is murdered.
"But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one." (2 Thess 3:3).
I feel blessed.
