Blindly "IKUT" (follow...)

Isn't this a common sight? People blindly follow to wherever the "hype" is?

Somehow, I'm having this conclusion that we, Singaporeans, are blindly following, blindly taught on whatever things are new to us.

Just not that long ago, I attended a course we were supposed to be taught on finer points of "service excellence".

Unfortunately, most of us were clueless why we were there and put it bluntly this course is a rewarding gesture to some of those "who made it".

Some guys were rather candid when asked why they were there for this course.

"I was told to come here after my supervisor asked me." said one.

Following the flow, I quipped same as well as "that's the matter of fact" in a rather unapologetic way.

So having that kind of mindset that preceded, the class went through some role-playing games, answering of questions, etc.

At the end of it, it was a clueless session and felt nothing sorry for the fact that such course should have been taught while we were young and in a more spontaneous environment than inside a classroom.

Just a rant.
