欲速则不达,无欲速,无见小利之谬论

暴力怪兽是个急性子,不喜欢慢吞吞,也是个冲动派,兴致一来,就想马上行动。所谓:欲速则不达,简单译解就是急起来,什么都得不到。这, 怪兽理解。但是怪兽谬论是:无欲速,无见小利,如果不赶快行动,也许连小小的成绩都看不到,那又何来的大成就?
对怪兽而言,过程大于成果,先要开始,经过一段过程,才会有成果。不先踏出那一步,又怎么能走上成功之路?

Regarding us? Guitar? Or what? I don't understand. Must be one or all of the above right? My intuition is usually right. But if it is, I feel a little being accused, be it you are talking about Masa or me or both of us. Cos' I think we cannot control certain situations, just like I still don't see my guitar, even though I planned to buy it weeks ago, the teacher cancelled on us, the lyrics writing class is not happening, etc, are things we cannot control. But when I read your entry, I seem to be getting the vibe that we are setting you back? I feel perplexed. Btw, this entry is not meant to be harsh or anything. I just wanna clarify what I think you are trying to say. Which kinda bother me a little right now. No big deal okay?

I mean ... who is not making that step? I thot it is agreed that our first lesson is the first week of Aug?

BTW, there is not one day where I don't think about my guitar and our lessons ever since the day we made up our mind.

Monster, are you sure Ashin and Masa are the ones dragging on it? I don't remember anything. Is it my memory running short or is there some misunderstandings somewhere?

If I'm not wrong, we are planning to make a choice by last week after the trial lesson but it was cancelled and postponed to this week. But we are not going this week again becos the trial lesson is only 15 mins and so Monster thinks its a waste of time and it doesn't really helps to gauge anything. And so, I had suggested to wait till Ashin has her test over on Sat before we discuss further. No one is at fault, its just some wrong timings here and there. So Ashin, don't be too affected by what Monster said, it think she is just too excited over it.

We will just hv to make time after Sat to talk about it and decide on something. Ok?

im not blaming anyone on anytink,im just saying im e type if i wan to do, i will do it fast, i will not think much or worry abt other stuff. So when u say mus c teacher's attitude, i dun really agree and thot why our direction is different now(i mean,r we gonna try other trial lessons and compare teachers etc?) Thats why i say u n masa can go for e trial then decide where to take e course, no prob for me. It doesnt matter to me where to take the course, I jus hope to get it started somewhere.So maybe e more eager i get, then more disruptions which really dampen e mood n urge. At least if we had registered or gotten a guitar then there is motivation to look forward.
Think everyone has own stress, i jus happen to voice my stress.i didnt stress u all on anytink rite? Is jus tat i koe my expectations, so i dun wan to make any decision which u all may not like.
My entry is not meant to b harsh too,just some of my thoughts.

And talking abt e trial lesson,at least if it is a full lesson, we would know more abt how the lessons would be like and we will koe wat to be expected of ourselves and get prepared for the class. but turn out tat it is just 15min, so i do not see the point of attending. but you gals still can attend ma.i dun tink there shd b any controversy on this.Like i told Masa, if we dun wan e delphi sch, then we hv to register yamaha fast cos their intake is start of mth.

I never ever thot of wanting to take all the trial lessons and compare teachers. I would have willingly signed up for this one if they did not offer trial lesson. But the fact that they offered and cancelled on us so last minute, plus their managing of our guitar orders really gave me doubts about their ability and/or the teacher's attitude/commitment leh. I mean only 3 guitars, how hard can the order be? And Masa did not get the colour she wants and yours is defected. And I ordered the matt black but that Jack never relay the message to the girl. And the fact that they did not even tell us that it is only gonna be 15 mins until the 2nd time. Don't you doubt them? I wouldn't doubt the other school or need trials cos' they did not give me an opportunity to doubt. But this one did. But it's okay, let's just go ahead with it since we did not get to see the teacher. Maybe he/she will just turn out alright, just like u say it's heng suay, just like if we sign up for other school. I just take it that they never offer the trial.

I think the 15 mins is not so much about learning anything about playing. I'm more concern about the teacher after that "incident". If you ask me what I can see in 15 mins, I can roughly get the vibe of a person's personality and attitude. It's just like if you interview someone, that 15 mins can determine everything. And e.g those who took part in superband and many other auditions, in 15 mins you can really tell alot.

So, this is my point of view. Thanks for voicing your thots and I'm glad we aired it out.

I think we are as excited as you are. I cant wait to get my hands on my guitar too. I just hope they dun messed up my order. Every time I call her she sounded blur. I'm also frustrated that I dun see it after so long. I've been talking about it to my friends like forever, I think they are bored now ...

Anyways, let's look forward to our new journey. I'm still as excited as ever and it is bursting out of me. I can't wait to start so that I really have SOMETHING interesting to share with my friends.

abt e trial lesson, yes they r in e wrong to let us know onli on tat day.i would think cos is like onli a trial lesson, so they may not think this is a big deal thing cos is supposed to be a free lesson? But at least they mentioned if 3 of us cannot make it for the lesson, then they can arrange for make up lesson, so at least 1 gd thing since onli 3 of us for the lesson.if go other sch with many students, we cannot arrange ourselves. Since we alr fixed on this, then just go for it together.Im sure if we are hardworking, with some guidance, we can get on hands real soon.
不用怕!没什么好怕。if we r slow then take more lessons lor, no rush to graduate rite? learning is a lifetime thing.Just enjoy e learning process.
Your life boring meh? u have jap class, rock-climbing,interesting things to share ma.

I think you have got me wrong.

If they think it is a free trial lesson then they can take it lightly then it is already wrong attitude on their side. And I never ever mentioned that I wanna sign up for another school.

"不用怕!没什么好怕。if we r slow then take more lessons lor, no rush to graduate rite? learning is a lifetime thing.Just enjoy e learning process. "
I don't know what gave you this impression. Why should the word afraid be mentioned at all? I'm not afraid at all. And if I don't think learning is a lifetime thingy, I wouldn't be learning this now.


"Your life boring meh? u have jap class, rock-climbing,interesting things to share ma."
What I mean is I can't wait to share my guitar experience, it has nothing to do with the other stuffs that I am taking. I am excited about the guitar lessons and want to share with them the experience but I haven't even seen the guitar or have any lessons yet, so I have nothing new to share with them is what I meant. Do you know the feeling of being excited everyday but not having something new to share? That's what I meant by I'm a 急性子 too. Cos' I can't wait to start on it and talk about my new interest.

I think we are thinking about the same thing and talking about the same thing and feeling the same way, but somehow the words here did not get across correctly?

LucyD said...

I think it's the problem of "talking" over a blog lah. Just like when MSN and SMS, sure cannot get across message in the right tone and manner one. Easy to have misunderstandings. I'm sure if we had this conversation face to face, It would be so easy to understand.

dun worry monster and ashin, masa understands all that you guys said!! your comments are too long, so i dunno what to write exactly but i really do understand!! lolz..

anyway, now that everything has been decided, let's move on and look forward to the new chapter in our lives ok?

i'm looking forward to it like any one of u, hv been playing with my black guitar these few days although i dunno how to play at all! keke...

Yes, i koe ur point on their attitude, but i tink tis is exactly e situation here.Bec is like onli 3 of us not like 10 to take the class.You see even e big school like weisong also cannot be bothered to call us back or anything.Maybe now that we have registered and confirmed taking their class, then treatment will b different?

不用怕!没什么好怕 - i mean to me even the teacher not really good(to different expectations though),tink as long we take e lesson and practise ourselves, we will b ok. This is how i feel, not saying that u gals are afraid.

To me, i learn guitar simply bec i like the sound of it.I wan to learn to play the beautiful sounds,dunno abt u gals.i get e feel that u all hv high expectations of the class, which i do not have.Precisely why i said i rather u gals decide where to take.

anyway, like i said, i onli write my feelings,not to write against anyone,and i do nt expect tis will cause such controversy.Can i delete tis post? not feeling gd to see all these posts,tired of explaining myself.

LucyD said...

Controversy is not necessary a bad thing. Don't have to delete lah. This is a part of our friendship mah. It's like a diary, you don't throw it away and after many years you can just read again and laugh at it.

I'd rather talk it out like that then to keep things to ourselves leh. Things may get confusing for awhile but we'll definitely learn more about one another after that.

monster, it is good to write what you are feeling and are thinking about. don't be put off becos of this 1 particular incident. it is out of concern that we asked you all those questions. we are just hoping to sort out any differences or confusions regarding the guitar class issue, definitely not trying to create any arguments or wat.

let's open up and discuss our thots freely, friends shd share all happiness or unhappiness, isn't that so? i look forward to hear the voices deep down in you more often. pls continue to write and share your life with us.

LucyD said...

Yah me too. Sorry to be the cause of this unpleasantness, but I just want to talk it out and know what you are really thinking.

Real friends are able to trash things out and still remain friends. In that way there'll be more mutual understanding and the friendship will grow too.
