Bottom of the Pyramid

I'm very noisy about two things. First, I hate Windows and Apple; I love Linux, even though I hardly understand computer science. I've never dug deep into Linux and here I'm claiming Linux is the future. Windows keeps crashing all the time. Mac runs everything, virus free, beautiful and yet I hate Apple for the secretive non modular approach. All I know, if the wiki says it works on Linux, it just works. If it says it doesn't work, then I pray and hope that someone will soon fix it.

Secondly, education system. I hated it when I has to study 12 different subjects in school. Working with WNES I still cherished that principle, until I took Khalil Sir's class.

It's true that exploring subjects wastes some time. But it's necessary so that you do not waste your life. Imagine a big castle. Where there are many rooms and dungeons filled with treasures and mysterious items. If you stop exploring yourself in the first room and settle there, you'll never know what you missed. Who knows, the subject you didn't study in school, might have had changed your world.

However, overtime, we have closed our mind. There are only handful of teachers around who can guide you through the doors of the castle. I'm not sad that I wasted my second year of University in club activities. It has taught me how to connect with people. I'm not sad that I had to spend 4 months in TARC, because I met a great person. I'm not sad that I had to say goodbye to a great person, because that taught me to accept the truth and with it came great clarity of mind.

I am sad now, because I've to acquire a special skill set in limited amount of time and I desperately seek for guidance. I'm confident, I'll somehow manage to meet the deadline, but now I can sense the gap between bottom of the pyramid and the top of the pyramid.
