wHen A profEssOr MeeT wItH a BoaTmaN...

I was walking in my university compound while heading towards class,
feel that my daily University life is quite pack,
then think is it from this busy life,
i make my life busy for nothing?
or from the busy, i learn many things?

suddenly pop!!!
a story which i heard b4 came out suddenly in my mind,
it is a story between a very high educated man and a very low educated man..

this high educated man is a professor who holds many high certificate in many educational fields, such as science, mathematics, physiology, and many more..
one day,
he wants to cross a river to the other bank,
so he go and find the boatman,
asking the boatman whether can take him across the river,
the boatman says yes...

so,
happily and gratefully the professor sits on the boatman's boat
n the boatman start to row his boat,
sitting facing the boatman,
the professor sees the boatman working hard to row his boat,
he then ask the boatman,
"dear boatman, how high is ur educational level?"
the boatman feel shock about his question,
but he answered him,
"only until standard 3,sir"
the professor 'geleng-geleng' his 'kepala'..
he said,
"ai yo..onli until standard 3 ka?
tak boleh ini macam...'mou chin tou' (no future)
u c me...
i got a PHD in science n Math, degree in Physiology, business, bla..bla..bla...
in the society now,
u nid 2 have at least 1 high educational certificate d...if not, u onli can become a boatman 4 d rest of ur life.."

the boatman din answer anything,
his head looking downward, feel sad and shy about d professor's comment,
suddenly, his boat accidentally hit a big stone in the middle of the river,
like in titanic,
his boat breaks into half and start sinking...(but dont have d titanic romantic scene la)
the professor stunned about wat had happen..
actually he does not know how 2 swim..
the boatman jumps into the river and swims away...
left the professor alone sinking along the boat..
the professor start yelling for help and asking the boatman 2 save him...
the boatman yell back at him
" actually i already have a PHD!!!
the PHD in SWIMMING!!!"
professor drown into his egoness and his ignorance...

this story is telling us that
watever we do and learn
think back why we need 2 learn that
is it juz for knowledge?
or for our life?
learn how 2 save our life is much more important to learn how 2 fill our life..
we live for once,
there is no two 21 years old...
so, why waste our life for nothing?
build life in the more meaningful ways...
u wont regret when u are closing ur eyes for the LAST TIME...
