Charisma

Today i skipped malaysian studies, cos i think i'm going to be exempted anyway. But the classes are not bad;even though the lecturer talks nonstop for an hour (really!).
And its made worse when you have a full bladder because it would be so embarassing to stand up in the middle of a class and run to the loo.
The topics are usually interesting, as i am interested in politics. some people may accuse her of voicing her own opinions, but i don't think so. the things she says are true, and i have witnessed it myself during my time in um.
The topics are usually about the special rights granted to the bumiputras, how the Chinese managed to be wealthy, and how the Indians are still far behind. Not to mention the bumis in Sarawak, who were entirely left behind in her discussions, and riling some of the people who think they should be included too.
Anyway, i learned a very important thing about malaysia's first prime minister, Tunku Abd. Rahman. I found out that he was not so scholastically inclined (yay!). It took him 6 years to get his B.A from England. But the man did have one very special thing going for him; he was a people's person and possessed the necessary charm and charisma to knock off people's socks. Incidentally, i would like to add that my brother has this ability too, making me insanely jealous of him.I think i'd just slaughter anyone that gets in my way.
It was because of his charisma that made malaysia gain independence in 1957 rather than 1961 (when Onn jaafar asked the brits). The teacher then went on to say in life, it doesn't matter if we are the most genius people on earth, but what good would it be if we cant interact with people?
I do agree with that, i'm not sure for medical people whether we really need it because there will always be sick people around. But i guess if you have to open your own clinic, its survivability would not only depend on the doc's skills, but also the way he interacts with patients. With this in mind, i will try my best to charm the socks of everyone. Who knows if i were to be a politician in the future??
On another note, i am really grateful to the invention of the Pap smear. Without it, so much more women would be dying from ovarian/cervical cancer. Bless!
