The downside of the idea ‘no one is better than others’
Sometimes I do miss how people in China, Taiwan and Japan respect people with higher educations. A high level diploma is enough to draw respect immediately, one thing to mention is the worship toward teachers as a career group, even the job is no longer associate with high education. I believe it’s due to the respect people have toward knowledge and teachers just happen to be a symbolic sign of the source of knowledge. Moreover, ppl are not limited to only diplomas, but rather sensitive to any form of knowledge acquired, experience in Japan is just overrated!
What I found fascinating is how openly people show their respect. Someone with occupation as a teacher is immediately addressed as Mr. In Taiwan and Japan. Higher education like master or higher could bring material advantage like higher position career wise or attention in the marriage market. And the above mentioned, the respect one receive as a benefits of higher education, I have never experienced in Sweden.
Here, higher education is a matter of choice, one get higher education fir self develop reasons, or as personal interests. The sense of sacred, knowledge was portrait in China, Taiwan and Japan, is non existing here. The general idea of no one is better than others make a PhD as equal as someone with minimum required education. Which is definitely a weride phenomenal in many places besides the countries I listed above.
But isn’t it just wrong, that the effort one put in to pursue more knowledge and theit achievements, like a diploma, is not admired, appreciated, but taken for granted. During my years of living here I have never heard in any situation, between any actors, that `wow, u r a master/doctor, you are doing a tremendous job’, nope, not a single time!I believe it’s a devaluation to everyone that work hard to gain knowledge.
And to the argument that Swedes do think this way but not allow to say it laud, well,that for sure contributing!

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you’ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

Denna helg har varit en magisk helg
I lördags har Jag varit i David LaChapelles utställning, starka färger tillsamman är inte min vanlig företräde, men han gjorde alla typ av människor kroppens vackra. Jag hade den största deja vu när jag tittar på bilderna. För några veckor sen, jag hade en deja vu när tittar på en random websidan, kände som jag var i en utställning, så när jag var i utställningenoch läser en beskrivning i lördags , jag känns som jag är i den utställningen jag avsågs, typ i inception. Minns en vän sa att Deja vu är bra sak, den betyder att man är på den rätt plats i rätta tiden. Låter vidskepelse, men frågar om jag tror på superpower——JA
I söndags tittade jag ‘Berättelsen om pi’, jag kan inte beskriva vilken shock jag har från filmen, utan om jag kan titta på bara en film i mitt liv, det är den här som jag ska titta. Scenen av valen hoppa ut ur vattnet är stick i mitt huvud när jag försökt sova igår, alldeles underbart, Richard Paker!
Tillsamman med min nya julen present, jag är ganska saker att mitt liv är kommer att bli annorlunda
Magic is gonna happen!

"I happen to hate New Year’s celebrations. Everybody desperate to have fun. Trying to celebrate in some pathetic little way. Celebrate what? A step closer to the grave? That’s why I can’t say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works. And don’t kid yourself. Because its by no means up to your own human ingenuity. A bigger part of your existence is luck, than you’d like to admit. Christ, you know the odds of your fathers one sperm from the billions, finding the single egg that made you. Don’t think about it, you’ll have a panic attack."
