Service Learning
After knowing what are the places that we would be visiting in Cambodia, I was rather excited because these are places that I never would have the chance to visit. I really look forward to the trip as I am sure that I would learn alot more from this service learning trip.
Actually, I think it was very true that peoples who are always on the top never will try to understand people at the bottom. Yet after realising the situation in Cambodia just by looking at the picture, I learnt to develop compassion for these peoples. I do not really know how the world is shaped and I definitely cannot exactly understand how these peoples feel. But I would like to understand more and perhaps develop some awareness of this world.
But regarding poverty, I cannot imagine them suffering so much, having to worry about every single basic things that we take it for granted. And how matter how smart or hardworking they are, they will never get a chance to break out from the cycle of povery. Wheras, we can still achieve whatever we wanted. Perhaps the society is unfair because of unfair distribution of wealth, but I do not think we can just blame this world like that. After all, we can also make a difference to their lives.
As for my goals for the service learning, I hope to understand more about the world and how people are suffering on the other side of the world and to develop compassion for these peoples. I also want to think about how we can help them and organisation skills can also be learnt from the service learning. I hope to have a mind to undersand and a heart to show compassion. I really look forward to the trip to Cambodia. I know it would be an unforgetable experience and will often remind me of how much changes I can make for myself, or for the world.

Dressing For Success
In my opinion, I think that our appearances is one of the important component that companies will look out for during a selection. That is because a good appearance will make us leave a good first impression and higher expectation will be laid on you, leading to people being more receptive to you and gaining more respect. Of course, appearances are not everything, but you have to look presentable enough or otherwise be looked upon.
Firstly, a first impression play a critical role in determining your overall performance. For example, people who dressed unkempt and filthily will be regarded as lazy, uncivilised and incapable and he may not be given the chance to perform anyway. No matter how talented he is, he will not regarded that superior as he was supposed to be. To have a good first impression, you have to dress properly and hence, a good appearance will give you the edge over others.
Secondly, looking presentable will give you a sense of superiority which will make you look even more confident, as compared to the otherwise. People are more likely to regard you, making you gain more respect from others. Physical appearances are a powerful tool in gaining more respect and therefore, are also as important as your capability.
However, if the society is to judge people by their physical appearances to a large percentage over their talents, which is also the reality in this world, then would it be fair? One point is that people have the freedom to choose what clothings they want to wear, and it would also be their own choice to give whatever impression they want to give. But the fact that society now goes to the extent of judging one's success through appearances will place even more restrictions to people, regarding their appearances.
Peoples then have to be forced to wear clothes that the society want them to wear, based on their social status and positions. In other words, ones's appearances will identify one's social status, which is being unfair to peoples, especially those in a low-ranking position, to be judged in that way. That is because one's social status do not prove much. What really matters is one's character and individuality. But because the society today is obsessed with positions and status, so that also become how peoples judge success, which is not necessarily right.
Based on these rationales, I therefore conclude that appearances will determine success to a large extent. So dress presentably first, before actually showing your abilities!
