a cinderella story

i thought about how you would react if u knew about the incident. most prob u'll tell me very straight in the face that it's my mistake because as the designer it is part of my responsibility to ensure things were done according to the requirements. i failed to carry out my responsibility. maybe u would also tell me like how u always used to, that since i've made a mistake, i'll just have to learn from it.

u told me once we all know about such things in theory like that cliche sentence of how everyone makes mistakes. but it's really difficult to let go, move on and make amends in real situations. if a person makes mistakes over and over again, does it mean he or she never learns from the previous one? not necessarily coz they might be different kinds of mistakes.

mistakes can cause severe consequences both in the positive and negative way. on one hand it is possible that they can mould you into a stronger person. on the other hand, it can crush the strength within you. it's so ironic.

it's so sad that most people form impressions of others using the amount of 'wrong' that they do and not by the the 'good' or 'right' things they have done. you might have taken care of 100 sheeps alone for the past 20 years and helped generations and generations more of them. but if one day you forgot to close the door of the pen and all the sheeps went lost, people will always remember you as the shephard who lost all his sheeps due to his carelessness.

cinderella's story ended at 12 midnight and everything went back to how it was before. however that situation of 'before' did not last long because her prince found her. in real life, after a climax maybe things don't return back to it's orginal state because of such cinderella theory - your actions will always have their consequences. of course in fairy tales it's always nice and sweet and sometimes romantic. in real life there's mostly not such plus points.

when a function of x is multiplied by another function of x, you cannot just take the inverse of the function to get back the original equation.

mistakes can never be reversed.

It is sometimes true that when the sheperd loses the sheep he will always be remembered for his carelessness. But if the sheperd was really really good, people will overlook the mistake & remember the overall good he had done.

Ha, frankly to me, the size of the logo didn't really matter. & frankly it is very visible even from a distance due to the colour. Ya, I guess it's important to adhere to sch requirements, but really, the design was more important & the class tee looks nice, so I guess that's what matters ultimately :)

Yo Celia!
You know, I can't tell you to cheer up because i had no hand in contributing to the Class Design. What matters though, is that you helped the class. Without you, our shirt would probably end up looking .. weird. And it was our fault as a class for overlooking that tiny detail. Even though really I think u shld not take it to heart.. It's just a teacher's duty to do what she has to. And she wasn't scolding YOU, and everyone supports you so don't worry.
