Interesting camp we had there, I dare say. Interesting.

Everyday is a learning experience. I claim to know so, but do I really know?
People often associate understanding to being able to explain whatever that has been taught.
Sure, you can just memorise but have no conceptual knowledge on applying what one has learnt.

Is that really how to fully understand conceptual knowledge ? (This is an acronym joke).

Ignore the last sentence if you want, although I put it there purely with the intention to joke, ask yourself is that how you understand things? Yesterday at SBM, Kevin, Ernest, Jian yong and I were having a random chit-chat session. Somehow, we got to the topic on bad habits. Thinking back now, I have a habit of saying "I know".

Sometimes when I want to cut anyone short, I say that. Please don't take it that I say that ALL THE TIME just to cut people short. Most of the times I say that is to my dad. Whenever he tells me to wash up after eating, hang up my clothes properly and switch off appliances after using etc.

It's a bad habit resultant from constant nagging but it doesn't stop the constant nagging anyway.

The main issue is that I have been conditioned to give a quick reply, without much thought, after being given instructions. Only after that, I realise that I do not understand. I just know.

Yes, I admit I am running on a Pentium 2 up there.

Sure after doing the chores I am told to for many years already, I totally understand. It's a no-brainer. However, when given something new to do I fail to accept 100% of it. My habitual reaction has limited myself to learning, and also limited my learning capacity. While people learn about 70 - 80% , I get a grand amount of 30%.

It's time to grow up, shoulder more responsibility and also extend my attention span. Pardon my epic learning speed and tell me that I don't know when I say know.

I do not understand, I do not comprehend because I only know.
