Inspiring Story to Share....Ant ^ GRasshopper..

Woo....2nd week of sch....wow can really feel the workload piling up....and also the sch term starting to tire me out....but nevertheless....i'll keep my cool and clear all my impt work first before enjoying myself....there must be a striking balance of work-play...if not it'll be too boring to just study whole day or even worse....play n neglect my studies the whole week...thus i have setup a so-called timetable or say daily goals/targets to achieve...everyday must at least read something or do something so that the day will not be wasted....haha....hope i can succeed...

Well...during one of my lecture i got this handout which had a interesting story i wanna share with all my frenz who "tune in" to my blog....here goes....story of the Ant & Grasshopper Strategy....

The ant strategy : Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
The grasshopper strategy : NEver do today what can be put off until tomorrow

The ant works steadily throughout the semester as work is assigned and never builds up a large backlog of assignments. As a result, the ant avoids the end of semester crunch, keeps the workweek under control, and is able to stay well-rested. Because the ant gets enough sleep, productivity is high, and the ant has plenty of time to participate in outside activities. The ant's grades improves steadily throughout the term.

The grasshopper, in contrast, defers the work until last minute. The grasshopper's workweek is low at the beginning of the term, providing lots of time for parties and outside activities. The grasshopper can stay relatively well rested despite a heavy social schedule because the workweek is low. But because the grasshopper doesn't do the work as fast as it is assigned, the assignment backlog steadily builds up. Eventually, it's crunch time, and the grasshopper starts putting in long hours, perharps pulling a few all-nighters. Unfortunately, as sleep suffers, energy and productivity fall. The rate and quality of work suffers. Grades plummet, and the term ends before the grasshopper can finish all the work, perharps leading the grasshopper to plead for extensions from the faculty.

Legend :

Assignment rate : the rate as which professors assign work throughout the term ( tasks/week )
Work completion rate : the rate at which tasks are completed ( tasks/week )
Assignment backlog : the no. of tasks that have been assigned but not yet completed ( tasks )
Grades : the grade received for work handed in ( 0-100 scale )
Workweek : the no. oh hrs spent on academic work, including classes, reading, homework, proj, etc. ( hours/week )
Energy Level : measures how well rested the student is. Arbitrary scale from 0-100% ( where 100% = fully rested and 0 = comatose )

a Small Kindness Act...

Hmm...i still remember sec sch time have this week called the small kindness act week...where everyone will have a booklet to write down their good deeds and also what "specially good" stuffs they have done during that particular week....haha....what makes me recall this event is because today while standing inside the mrt train cabin....i noticed people sitting at corners ( or sitting down anywhere la ) not giving up their seats to needy personals ( like pregnant lady, old people, kids, woman with baby trolley )...den i was thinking....sometimes i also dun like to give up my seats...cos specially go to marina bay n take the train so empty can find a seat one....but thinking back...is it that difficult to give up yr seat for just 20 mins or so to allow those needy people to relax and enjoy the train ride and show them that the world is not unjust after all? i think some people really have to understand that giving up their seats is not compulsory but necessary... i mean if u really fuck care about what people say den ok...u dun give up yr seats...but this kinda stuff is intergrity.... self-concious lei....dunno why got people like dat...so seflish....so can i just say selfish people make great people looks good....haha....anyway....jus my thoughts for the day la....

Today happily go CNB cos today DISRUPT DAY....but den OC not in...idiot lor.....no choice have to wait till monday....sign all the stupid clearance den go CMPB collect my little pink ic.....haha....cant believe i still have to wait 3 more days....argh....nvm....just wait lo....waiting is tough...but not getting it is even tougher....anyway really wanna thank all the guys in BSC as they really brighten up my days when i was down and also have so many fun outings and gatherings ( which i went for 50% ).....nevertheless....i still remember n cherish the times we had during all the shits...ups and downs of CNB....good luck guys....next month is yr time.....PINK IC !!!!!
