*.* Quotes *.*

"Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love the verb or our loving actions. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her."

Be Proactive. If there isn't a solution, be the solution. Make things happen.

Begin with the end in mind. Know where you're going before you go, and you'll get there eventually.

Put first things first. Sure, everyone is important, but who is important to you?

Think win-win. It can be amazing for the both of us, lets make it happen.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood. I'm listening, are you?

Synergise. 1+1=3, believe.

Sharpen the saw. There's much to improve on, but we could start by starting here

GP tutors...do you mind not treating us like kids?

I don't like the new guy assigned to us.

I didn't like the previous one, either.

Apparently, I just can't get along with GP tutors. "Can't get along" is an understatement. I probably can't get along with other tutors like Mr Lim, too, but at least I respect that he's great at maths. Moreover, he allowed me to try my own methods in studying maths instead of forcing his methods on me. Even though I eventually lost the bet with him (didn't get a B), I managed to rise from steadily failing every FA to eventually passing maths.

However... GP tutors... what can I say? The way I see it, this new guy is no better than the previous one. While I must credit him for trying to improve the GP standard of the class, his methods strongly remind me of primary school education. Yea, so we failed GP horribly... that doesn't mean we are retards or kids. So stop treating us like we are. Grammar practise? Seriously? I dunno bout the others, but I feel insulted. What's more, everyone has to follow your fixed format for essays? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought GP was about being able to express personal thoughts and views on current affairs. If everyone were to follow the same style of writing, I don't quite see how personal it can get.

If this teaching process which severely lacks freedom and space for students to develop themselves is aimed at the ultimate result of having everyone pass GP, then I'll rather study by myself and have a more enjoyable learning process, and pass all the same.
