HEY YO! =D

don't want to elaborate about today, 'cause it's BORING. nothing much to say about the papers.

oh! TOMORROW's THE LAST DAY OF THE "O" LEVELS! after that is PARTY TIME! =D but who should i go out with? hmm... now another problem. pfft! okay, never mind. i'll just let things happen by themselves tomorrow. x)


now for some non-related side issues...

"A hike is life once condensed and magnified.", as quoted from CLEMENT's msn personal message.
so profound, yet so true. how cool is that. x)

anyway i spent some time looking up on the effects of punishment & discipline, and i found some really interesting things.

Punishment brings about immediate results, & it teaches children:
- to be afraid of authority
- to resent & resist authority
- how to lie
- how to do things without getting caught

because punishment is SUPERFICIAL.

PUNISHMENT is for HURTING,
DISCIPLINE is for TEACHING.

TRUE discipline teaches:
- actions produce consequences (natural or logical, affects individual or many)
- every individual is responsible for his/her actions


well, actually it's about disciplining children, but i feel that it goes slightly beyond that. :)


that's all for today.
toodles!
