Twitter VS Facebook




Twitter is the central of social media, the gust lecturer said.

I'm a experienced facebook user but a noob of twitter. I've had a twitter account for near 2 months already but I've still got no idea how to use this stuff. It's generally like something like facebook, I guess? The only different that I know between these tools is -- twitter can "follow" people without their permission, but you can't be a friend without someone's permission on facebook. Perhaps they have got some more differences, but what I discovered by now is just as simple as that.  I would say twitter threat user's privacy more according to this, that's why I can't understand why do they said twitter is the central of social media, they gave me the same feelings but just from different providers. And, facebook is more popular than twitter, nearly everyone got it, but that's not what's happen in twitter. I thought the more popular the social media, the greater it is? Because it could influence people more and influence more people. So what's the point?

Anyway, I'll try to get used to use the twitter as I could search many Hiu Yan Lau from google, but none of them is me!!! That's not a good phenomenon at all.

Do you have a twitter? Do you know how to use it? Please feel free to left any comments behind.

Sometimes things are more easier to read than to study

Perhaps not just "sometimes", but very often, things are more easier if just have to read it than to study it, for example, psychology. 

I have got a subject which is called Organisation Behavior (actually, I have got consumer behavior as well) in this semester. What I have to say is, even if they are not my compulsory subs, I would still like to do them as their name attract me as I'm really interested in psychology -- I think this is the closest sub to our life and I believe that this would be very helpful to be well known  psychology and feel free to apply some of the theories in it into our real life.

It seems that going too far way from the topic, let's step few steps backward.
There is a very little space which is about the Emotional Intelligence (EI) in my OB lecture slides, but it attract me -- because I saw it before. I have read the abstract of a journal which talks about it before. Oh my word. The journal that I read is from my housemate who is doing Psychology, and I just picked it up and read it for interest and to satisfy my curious. 

I guess it would be an amazing world if we could do something just for interest but nothing else. Nonetheless, read it and can remember it are two things, there're many terms and theories around, maybe you can understand them and recognize them, but it is quite hard to remember the whole definition of it with the exact words which are in the text, and this, is exactly what the examiners want because they would just like to find out the key words form your pages long essay but not spend abundant of time to read your essays. I know, it's cruel, it's sad, but unfortunately, it's real.


I don't like the way that we're studying, I don't like the purpose that we learn either, they all sounds too down-to-earth for me and I think people are distorting a lot of wonderful things in the world as most of them are just focus on the final result but not the process of it -- they're not enjoying at all.

Imagine, if you're gonna die tomorrow, would you regret for not doing something that you're interested in today
