Word of the month : Imbecile
Hi peeps! Just another thing that came across my mind. PLEASE do not abuse the word "idiot", especially when using it on someone. It is RUDE and INSENSITIVE to use it when you are not fully aware of the meaning behind it.
According to www.dictionary.com, idiot has the following meaning:
========================================================================
A person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25.
A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers.
========================================================================
Damn! Would you call someone who quarreled or fought with you an "idiot" just out of pure spite? You KNOW that it is UNTRUE! If he/she is capable of scolding or picking a fight with you, he/she can't have an IQ of less than 25 right?
So... let me introduce a new word to you people out there!
I M B E C I L E
========================================================================
a person of the second order in a former classification of mental retardation, above the level of idiocy, having a mental age of seven or eight years and an intelligence quotient of 25 to 50.
A person of moderate to severe mental retardation having a mental age of from three to seven years and generally being capable of some degree of communication and performance of simple tasks under supervision.
========================================================================
Eureka! Isn't this the word that you have always wanted to express but just did not know of its existence!? This word is more suiting as it clearly indicates that the person is CAPABLE of SOME DEGREE of COMMUNICATION. So people, use words wisely and make the world a better place and let's hope there will be ZERO misunderstanding all over the world in the near future!

The Ambition
Just felt like putting my thoughts down before i go to sleep. Something that came across my mind just a moment ago. Why am i fighting so hard to achieve the best... Sometimes i really wonder. Something that even myself is amazed is that, i have never thought of making my own life better. I would be satisfied with whatever i have and continue to fight on. But where did the determination to try my best came from?
I just added "Mouse Hunt", a facebook application, today. There are tons and tons of applications that are waiting on the list, but i only added that. It was because the invitation came from a rare guest, one of my good friend weijie~ Although we did not talk much or hang out alot, but i have always deemed him as one of my closer friends. There are many different kind of people out there. There are those who claim that they have tons and tons of friends, where most of them might just hold a weak relation to him/her such as random adds. But i am under the classification where i only considered those whom i really treasure as friends. Although there are still many different degrees of friends (good friends, close friends, etc), but anyone whom i considered a friend is truly someone i care for.
It doesn't mean that if i don't add the application that you sent me i do not consider you as a friend, it is most probably because... YOU ALWAYS SEND THEM JUST FOR BONUS!!! Stop flooding me and make every invitation counts k! If not i feel like an idiot accepting those invitation. humph~
I have always dreamt of giving my friends the best when i make it big. I always have the intent to make the life of the people around me a better one. It is the unspoken bonds that i had with many of my friends which are driving me to do my very best. I promise, if i were to make it big one day, i will be sure to carry out the promise i made to myself... to share the glory and wealth with people i deemed deserving... (^v^)
