Did it take 5 semesters of law school to get me motivated to work really hard? Maybe 4. I started year 1 sem 1 with an immense amount of motivation. But after that, as it seems like no matter how much work, results still won't show anyway, I probably figured I might as well have the good slack life.
Now, I think I know how though. All it takes is a bit more thought and reflection and some clarity of expression.
Perhaps, I'll be able to make something of the last 3 sems and surprise myself.
Super not looking forward to equity and conflicts results on Friday.
Only consolation is my LTP RP A :D My first A for a law paper! Feel extremely gratified!
(TWC's A+s don't count)
Had a conversation some days ago about the importance of good teachers. Unfortunately, the conclusion is that good teachers either make or break a student's future in a particular subject.
I remember absolutely hating piano until I changed teachers.
And I cannot imagine learning LTP HG, WWY or SB. I would have absolutely been bored to death! Em or CM maybe. But I think I'm very lucky to have learnt it under TSH, couldn't have asked for better :D
A couple of years ago, I started tuition with the aim of being an inspirational teacher. But as the kids proved unmotivated and unmotivatable, teaching became routine. Must rethink my methods and put in more effort when I come back from exchange.

2 weeks ago I wrote that my legal theory answer was very unsatisfactory.
It's a good reminder. Shouldn't be surprised or disappointed.

This is a western perspective.
The only way this can be credible and not be just 'someone's view' is if there is an objective truth to what life ought to be like.
With regards to equality, who is to be treated equally? I'm sure all emiratis are treated 'equally'. Should the equality extend to the 'foreigners' who flood their land?
On the religious basis, is the draconian system even supported by it?
A violation of natural law + divine law?
