The World is Flat: The Globalized World in the Twenty-first Century

- Thomas L. Friedman



*****



Standing right next to a couple of young girls on the subway the other day, what they talked about and the way they did it soon made me realize my difference when compared with these girls around my age- they're probably in their first years in college and me- am not even a college student- not any more. In a spilt second my mind traveled back to how it was like in my first year and soon I found it intriguing to know that they're now too vague for me to recall.

.....

Yea I know, it's only 3 years ago. Yet I found it increasingly hard to recall those details like what I did exactly, what I was thinking etc; instead, what i do remember is some distant fragments of some long lost memories, glossed by a think layer of fog.

From the reactions of others, I knew I was just being stupid. Sometimes silence is a better strategy. I've asked too much. I've spoken too much. I'm beginning to sense that there're some unspoken rules on sth that I'm not supposed to discuss.

...

Time to hold my tongue, zip my mouth and focus solely on my work.
