Scrolls and Robes, Math and Symbols


Graduating from the best universities doesn't make you a smart person.
After all, its all in the papers. And oh, a scroll, you get to put on that Harry Potter robe (minus the broom~) and the wide smile on your face.

OK. I'm kidding. It's a big deal! It is!


It makes me wonder how our brain ticks. How does symbols are being deciphered and interpreted by our brains? How did it ever mean anything at all? How do we reason things? Those math geniuses who could untangle complex mathematical equations with a breeze, is the ultimate WOW factor.

The next time you hit the streets, Look left and look right. Look around you. Everywhere you see are people who had at least a degree.

But why is it so hard for some to understand simple words and clear images?



Can you see what this fella is doing?

Has universities and higher education made students a much complex individual that prevented our brains from operating in simple mode?

Hey, someone caught up with using the Harry Potter term. Hehe.

But hey, graduating for me, IS a big deal. For a person who never studies in primary nor secondary, being able to graduate from ANY uni is really a big deal to me. And perhaps, to the many others too. *solumn look*
