Think, because no one is going to do that for you. This is an interesting little speech about life from a jdrama. Chock full of meaning and truth...
*note: Toudai = Tokyo University (basically the #1 university in Japan)
[blockquote]You'll continue to lose all your life.[nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
I mean "lose" by the fact that you will be cheated.
If you continue like that, all your life, you will be cheated.[nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
Our society has rules.
You must follow these rules.
And all these rules are written by smart people.
And what does that mean?
These rules are written by the smartest people and they make use of them.
Since stupid people aren't able to understand these rules, there will be hidden things.
These rules will continue to serve the smart people.
For example, taxes, salaries, insurances, and allocations.
The smart people will continue to make them incomprehensible,
and the stupid people will fail to understand their meaning.
You all think that thinking is bothersome,
so all your life, you'll be cheated and you'll end up losing a lot![nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
Smart people will take advantage of this situation,
and stupid people will lose and be cheated.
So if you don't want to be cheated, if you don't want to lose, study!
I'll show you a simple way.
Go to Toudai![nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
Do you hate Toudai?[nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
Me too.
Those who are in admiration in front of the word "Toudai";
those who think they will succeed, just because they entered Todai;
those who feel insignificant when they learn the guy who sits in front of them is from Todai;
That is all meaningless and makes me sick.[nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
Kids like you don't know anything about society.
And you don't know anything because your parents have hidden it from you.
You don't know how what greatness you're capable of.
You have no basis and you have a lot of the wrong ideas.
If you think that someone else can change your life, you've mistaken.
That's not how society works.
If you don't know that and wait to be rejected,
your reality will only be filled with discontentment and eternal regrets.[nobr] [wbr][/nobr]...
If you don't want to know this reality, walk on your own rules.[/blockquote]
