what makes you stupid?

i woke up this morning all grumpy with one question; why the hell am i up at this hour after i did double shifts the day before plus im on night shift tonight. i should be on my bed, all wrapped up like a 'popia' in my comfy blanket instead of having to go through the jam at jalan kuching at this peak hour on a friday morning. 

wondering what is it that is so COMPULSARY for everyone to come even when they are off.

so i went to the hall and there it was, the whole story about our 'negligence' that i wont be discussing here. but out all that was said in the meeting, one thing that caught my attention, something that ive never heard before, my specialist asked us, "what makes you stupid?"

 "you are stupid when you learn from your own mistake because if thats the case, then obviously you have done something wrong. so its better to learn from other people's mistake instead of your own," 

 then it hit me... i guess we are all stupid at certain point of our lives... the best way to deal with it is to open up your mind and accept that you are stupid, try to rectify if its amendable, learn from it no matter how bitter it is and finally, bygones and move on.

 but sadly, i think you learn better from your own mistakes compared to others. because, you tend to take things for granted and when you are put in 'that' position, it was when you realise, you are so screwed, big time!

and thats how you learn.
seems pretty stupid most of the time but surely, there must be some level of intelligence left somewhere within. just have to search for it.

 so the moral from this?

 dont be afraid to admit that you are stupid... coz trust me, its bitter sweet :)
