Read: Cell Biology notes on cytoskeleton by Prof Teo
True, a very constructive saying indeed. For everything in the world, there's a competition. Be it the results one took starting from PSLE to the Os, to the As (polytechnic in my case), and to the uni eventually; or to the snatching of food by the poor kids living in Africa and North Korea; or to the two men going after a lady.
All these are competitions, hence there's always a winner; and there's always a loser. The winner goes to the best university in town, while the loser repairs the water pipes as a technician. The winner gets the food while the loser starves to death. The winner gets the maiden, and the loser is left with a broken heart. Life is fair isn't it? You want something, you vie for it. If you get it, you are a champ, and you get the applause. If you don’t get it, you are a loser, and you get the jeers and mocks.
Is okay, losers can always start all over again. They can put in 100% more effort, 200% more sweat, 300% more energy. The technician can take up a part time degree. The starving boy can snatch back the food. The man can go after a new girl when his broken heart is mended. They will become winners one day.
But then again, what happen if the technician has no money to go for the course because he has a mouth of ten to feed? What happen if the starving boy is already left with his last breath? What happen if the man has a broken heart that can’t be heal? They will be losers always. There are no more competitions, and they can’t be winners.
I sent in an application for a competition.
Their job is to select.
They rejected my application.
I have no competition to compete.
And they already declared me as a born-loser.
I was that technician;
that starving boy; and that broken heart man.
And I can't be the winner eventually.
