Revising...

Today seems to be an easy day for me. Apart from waking up late and having the best meal of the day, the day is spent on preparing my upcoming interviews for this coming Monday.

Frankly speaking, I can't study when I am forced to. But treating the revision like leisure reading is just the opposite. It's a pure satisfaction as I have acquired knowledge related to motherboard architecture.

Remember the first time when I was asked to map up a normal PC motherboard, the only action I could do was staring at the blank paper that was provided to me. A sense of regret filled me and I never stopped blaming myself for not taking this subject seriously. My ignorance towards this subject is because of the intricacy for the entire cumulative design and architecture in the past 40 years. Further to this, it made me gain even deeper respect to those who have such great insight to devise and to pioneer the novel invention.

Often I question myself whether to move on to be an engineer. The superficial knowledge that I had on the subject put me in low self-esteem. It could only be a figment of imagination that with the academic qualification that I have, I will definitely secure a promising job.

Knowledge that is not constantly used or practiced in mind will soon fade away. The result, another failed interview. Paper qualification no longer gives its holder an unconditional pass for a promising job. The interviewee will, instead, be verified by his interviewer of his qualification. Here comes the nightmare of facing some "inhumane" treatment and plenty of bombardment of extremely difficult technical questions. Experiencing this as a "victim" myself, I regarded it as unlucky for not studying the right topic for the interview.

Later have I discovered that my attitude towards studying is just merely to pass exam/job interview. And if no further effort to fully comprehend the concept of how the science works and apply the knowledge in daily usage, the knowledge will soon fade. It requires Wisdom to acquire Knowledge. Now that I have seen things differently, it's easier for me to study. At least now, I find that I enjoy reading and studying like never before.

Remember, Knowledge is priceless! You can have as much as you want and nobody can "steal" them from you. Whereas, being the richest person in the world can never secure one's possession and for once, he can be an easy victim of robbery, theft or other crimes.
