Perhaps I tell better in writing

Without realization, writing becomes a great deal in my daily life, in fact it is about my career. So like  it or not, I have to write.

Well, it was not a problem before. I mean I can write fluently without having any problem. Whatever appears in my mind can be expressed nicely (I wished)  in my words. I cursed anyone I want, in anyway I would love to (my high school mates know this part of me very well--it was all about being teenager!). To be honest, they would have been thinking this is a joke that I am now in education sector. Well, I am not proud of who I was but I accept it as a part of me. Those days made who I am today. 

Then, why is it now? I guess by the times gone, I realize how important and powerful words and voices can be. It makes me become so careful in my writing and talking. In fact, when you bear the name as "Teacher", you have to be more careful with the power of your words. Our audience are students who get influenced easily. When you make that influence a positive kind, it is inspiration. 

Yeah, we can say whatever we want to. It is a modern world with freedom of speech ain't? We have various kind of social media platform to express our thoughts. But have we do it right when there is so much power given to us. 

Writing is at a whole new level in academic world. It becomes a kind of talking where only validated and literature supported arguments or hypotheses can be spoken out. Things cannot be written simply because I think it is right. So am getting more careful in writing, I have to make sure I am not writing trash but valid arguments. So yeah, I cannot write as fluent as I did before, but I am conscious about what has changed. 

Sometimes it is really funny that people care about their pimples and make up because they care about how people look at them but they have forgotten what they said to others are more powerful and influential. I ain't a saint, I do get angry as quick as I get sentimental. I did say the F word thousands times to some asshole that came across my life. I am not a great teacher and I can barely call myself a teacher even though I have trained to be one. All I do is holding up to one thing: If we fail to educate then we almost fail in everything. 

No, education is not just teachers' job. It is on all of us. You and me. The least we can do is conscious about what we are writing and talking about on social media everyday. There are kids there. There are your sisters or brothers or even friends who look up to you without your knowledge. Don't get blind by the information flooded on social media. Get control of yourself. Be responsible for yourself. Be careful about what you want to write or say. 

"I don't think too much when I want to say anything, that is so fake and cunning to have so much forethought."

No, that is not faking. That is being responsible for your words. 

If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything. If you must, then say something nice. We all had the privilege to go to school, learn how to write and speak. Thanks to those teachers. So please don't waste your power, put it in good use. 

Peace! Love life!
