Her Case is “Re-Surfaced”

She had withdrawn from college last year due to medical reason. She came back this year to jonin the JC1 during the second intake with the “approval” of her parents and doctor(s). The fact remains that she is still so thin (weight hovering around 35kg or lesser, I think), so pale (flushed out of “qi”, somewhat) and look so sickly (one look, you know she has some medical conditions that need immediately attention). All these reasons combined made her current CT worried sick and came running after me. Not that I can help much, just that I was her CT last year.

She is a one-digit-pointer in O Level and study has always been her passion and priority. It is not easy to see how she can cope this year, bearing in mind her health concerns. I think she knows that if her condition were to somehow worsen, she might have to stop studying again. And maybe because of this, she is also trying hard to hide her conditions, not wanting anyone to know her past. For quite many times, she had defied doctor’s suggestion for her to be warded just because she wanted to remain in the school to study.

A few times when she was warded, she will be placed in a special ward, where she cannot have access out of the hospital and she will be closely watched by doctors and nurses to make sure she eats and take her medication. She will be there being watched, waiting for the time (by days) to pass by, feeling (too) cold most of the time. The way she views it, the hospitalization experiences did not necessarily improve her conditions and the thought of them actually made her much more stressed up as she had to be away from college for such a long period of time. Mm.. Yes, she is regarded (in the medical field) as having a mild kind of psychological disorder.

She is fighting on certainly. Indomitable!
Just a thought : For those who are able to study now, do they treasure such opportunity the way she does?

It is the unfavourable conditions a person faces that "force" him/her to be stronger.
Having lost many things because of the unfavourable conditions,
One cannot cannot afford to lose.
That's why a person works even harder than "normal" people to achieve a certain goal.

Some people do not have much problem yet don't wanna study?
I see it otherwise.
Maybe, we just don't see their problems?
Not all things surface.

人就是要『困而知之』吗?
能『学而知之』也不错嘛。
有没有『不学而知』的人呢? 哈哈..
我们无需等到那一种地步才来懂得珍惜,才来“早知道... 当初就... ”。
果真『静海难造熟练船员』吗?或许吧。
真正懂得『珍惜』二字的人有多少?
常悬挂在嘴边的那一种『珍惜』,看多了也听无数。
我想,『真知』必然会『真行』。

Oh, Erm... Just to clarify something. (Just in case, but it may not be necessary.)
When Jun Jie said, "Then ppl like ..., not much problem yet dun wanna study.", he was more like self-reproaching.
Haha.. He wasn't targeting at "some people" out there.
My reply (earlier) was solely to him (assuming that he was self-reproaching), telling him that we can always work hard together to achieve our aims. We were certainly not talking about "people out there" who have "not much problem yet dun wanna study".

I agree with you whole-heartedly : "Not all things surface"!

Thank you for your genuine sharing.
Appreciated! :)

〖学而知之〗就好了。
但,偶尔的 〖困而知之〗也难免。
Hmm,我不认为有〖不学而知〗的人。
或许,仍需要最起码的接触才能知吧?

--------
Your clarification (just in case) is necessary here.
看同一个东西,
在不同的时间、以不同的心情,
得到的结论也不同。
I really did not see the "self-reproaching" part, until being pointed out. My negligence.

On another note...
Maybe it is not the problem of "not studying, even without much problem";
Rather, it may just be the problem of "making ourselves want to study".
Somehow, everyone needs to find the push.加油。

--------
When problems do surface,
there is at least a path to follow in tackling the problem;
But when problems do not surface,
we may not even know how to start tackling the problem.
I feel, "hidden" problem is a big problem.

试图了解何谓『不学而知』,或许先要探讨何谓『良知』、『良能』。在此,我也不敢大作文章。
『学而知之』也好、『困而知之』也罢。终究是『知』,便有可能『真知真行』,这也是好事一桩。哈哈。
感叹,放眼天下,还是有人『困而不知』。:(
