You receive an assignment which gives you like 5 minutes to present. You looked at it and you have absolutely no friggin idea what the hell is about. In addition, the lecturer accidentally(or rather the pessimistic thought of he-purposely-do-that-one) skip the part you are suppose to understand in order to present.
You then go read the text book. You read first time, stare at wall. You read second time, mumbling: "Nabeh, can this book speak English ah?". You read third time..fourth...fifth....and again. Again. You go googling, wiki-ing, dictionarying, E-journaling. It would take you the whole damn night just to understand at least at skin level. It was tomorrow, the presentation. You are still at skin level. Ok, a lil deep inside, say dermis level. You rap on with only the gut feeling telling you are on the right track.
After 5 minutes, the non-pleasing lecturer, with a big satisfying grin, says: "Very good." =.=
.....you think I don't appreciate that?! Hell, you are wrong. The two words, very powerful words was enough to make me feel elated. After all the hard work, all you need is an acknowledgment. Marks sure doesn't matter at the moment.
Moral of the story...I am so easily pleased...Ok...the real one...You just need a short comment, say two simple words, to really motivate and encourage and to keep going. It's Psychology 101. XD
