Yesterday (28-Jan 08) was the number of "x" times I had been attending the class. The number of students from different walks of life who are aware of the importance of the languages of which I do believe to be the next necessity after the advent of Information Technology (IT) and the Investment era is absolutely amazing, so to speak.
Forget about the necessity, it was this my classmate, pseudo 'M' (alphabet being picked in conjunction with Quantum of Solace roll out, the reprisal role of 007's boss - The 'M' :-) who caught my attention, de facto all the students of that particular class.
M is a very young, talented and energetic student. M scored 100% in his previous exam where the others struggle to get ......ahem.... a reasonable survivance scores :p! M will leave no stones unturn be it on exercise or worksheets. A perfectionist, M is, till yesterday.....
As usual, while awaiting for the class to commence, the previous worksheet/homework is returned to the respective students. M shouted and uttered, "HUH WRONG........! WRONG......, WHY!" unstoppably stomping his legs followed by pitiful, sorrowy cries "I HAD DOUBLED CHECKED THIS, AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT WHY WRONG *sob**sob*....muahhhhh *sob* muahhh!". Eventually, M stormed out from the classroom to shy away from the rest of M's classmates in order to shield M's emotionally distress stance. The mistake that M had done on his homework is very minimal and iota if compares to us, indeed but such sudden depression scares us out of our wits followed by a pang of pitifulness.
This is not the first time, occasionally, while the lecturer is teaching, M utters few words loudly and intermittently.
Curious I am. The next day before the class commenced, I bravely volunteered myself to offer a non-hostile conversation with him. Slowly, I dug deeper and deeper where I used the ditto method of deciphering the actual clients' concern in my Sales arena. M admitted, that M sometimes will unconsciously experiences roller coaster emotional depression a.k.a "Bipolar Disorder" in psychological vocab. In short, for those who are inflicted, his/her emotion swings drastically from cheerfulness to extreme sadness, thus depression and the opposite.
I, in certain extend have similarities with M. While having a simple conversation with a person, unconsciously I feel hostility (sudden swings of emotion) even though the hostility doesn't exist, unequivocally, I struck back. Though not achieving the state of depression but yet alarming.
I rooted back the day I was born, the environment and the the ambiance of childhood and parental advisory of why this is happening to myself, all in all does matter in shaping an individual mentality. Ditto to M.
Hence, I would confidently say, psychological needs, helps, guidelines, seminars, educations and etc are the next necessity or I should say a prerequisite of life besides other necessity as in Hardworking, fluency in English speaking, savvy in Information Technology, Investment gung-ho and lastly additional fluency in other languages, in assurance of understanding human's behavior, programmed and nurtured them well before releasing them to the beauty, cruelty and a realistic society. Physical disorder can be helped or automated. For instance, a poor eye vision can be easily repaired by wearing a spectacle, paralyze can be automated by a wheel chair. Meanwhile, for those who are already affected like M (mental challenges), counseling is urgently needed for repairment.
How many available psychologist out there where their expertise are direly needed in Malaysia easily reachable? Thus, M's sudden escaped emotional imbalances awakes me from my SLUMBER and the importance of the newly discovered necessity to be part of our skill collections. "Not the oil rigs, Schlumberger but SLUMBER duh!", I lamented to an oil & gas employee :0).
