I was shocked when I heard the news that an Indonesian student slit his professor and jumped from an engineering building himself in his final year in NTU. The student died immediately shile his professor was under treatment. Every detail is still in myth, no one knows why and how the EEE student did this.
However, this incident reminds me of your DISC test taken on Saturday morning in NTU. It’s a test tells what kind of people we are and how we should deal with certain types of people. I do think this tragedy may be avoided if that student were there because he’ll know the importance of communication and how unnecessary sensitivity is. He makes me recall some of my close friends. Although girls are thought to be emotional, too much are not good. One of them often feel depressed just for a word judged by others unpurposely or a friend passed by without smiling. She is so sensitive about others’ behaviors, but many times she just misunderstood them. This kind of thing troubles her again and again.
What’s worse, a girl’s sensitivity can also do harm to relationship. We have to admit that boys’ mind is not as complex as we girls. Imagine this: you and your boyfriend are walking along the streets, breeze and sunshine make you feel so romantic that you look into your honey’s eyes with love, waiting for him to say something sweet. However----“What are you doing? Oh, you have a big waste in your eyes…” what will you think? Will you feel so embarrassed that want to beat your boyfriend? Will you think he doesn’t care you at all? And you may continue thinking about this and consider him not loving you any more and many “signs” come up in your mind, you feel sad and don’t want to talk to him any more. I think this sounds reasonable to many girls. But boyfriends may feel totally the other way round and quite depressed: why she don’t want to talk to me anymore? I didn’t do anything wrong! What the hell is she thinking?
See? That is how sensitivity forms gaps between lovers. Why don’t we just think less unnecessary things and focus on the beautiful things in life? Then, maybe our world is more peaceful and wonderful.

Definitely, this tragedy is worth meditative, but I am afraid that I can not agree with you, cuz I can hardly connected the sensitivity with the incident. In my own opinion, the cause is more likely to be the heavy pressure from the study or the revenge that results from being reproved. Most importantly, It is the disability to recognize himself that leads to the tragedy. Maybe what you think is reasonable, but it makes me uncomfortable to find a bridge between the two things you mentioned. Perhaps you will understand more about what the students think nowadays from the incident to make your thinking fluent instead of desultory. Please forgive me for what I've commented . ~_~ Look forward to more! Hohoho......
ReplyDeleteTo daniel: that's why i read the report of this incident this morning, i just know what happened but not details.
ReplyDeleteI read the news this morning and knew what happened. It is really a tragedy that a smart boy did something harmful to others and himself as well. I think he just gave himself too much pressure for he was treated as a genius and people have high expectation of him. Another reason is that he could not talk to his professor to solve the problem. Maybe this tragedy would not happen if he could have a good conversation with the professor. As you said, we should try to communicate with others to express our opinions. So, there will not be any misunderstanding, and many things which should not happen can be avoided.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great pity that such things happen again and again. Young people like us always do things without thinking it over. A research said that many young criminals even could not explain why they committed crimes at that time. It seems that they did bad things on a whim. At the same time, some of young people are over protected by their parents. When they need to face something such as pressure, they can not cope with it independently. They become so sensitive that they are easily affected even by very small things. Sometimes they only need to think more about their parents, maybe such things can be avoidable.
ReplyDeleteReally a tragedy, isn't it? But that is what we human beings are actually. Sometimes we don't know what will we do in the future and we will we be like tomorrow. Many people always like to be others' teacher and told you many shouldn'ts after the incidents. It was not necessary and it was useless. We should be considerate about others and maybe there were some reasons of why the ragedy happened. As the time goes by, all lf us will forget what happened in the past and it may be the best solution of this kind of thing. Soon we will get into the universuty and it is possible for us to meet the kind of thing. Maybe at that time it will be a appopriate time for us to judge whethere it is inevitable or not. Your poiints are thinkable and full of new ideas. Congratulations on your good work.
