Demand and supply. Before anyone thinks that I'm going into some economics lesson, no. I'm not referring to economics. Not strictly at least. Though some of the concepts taught is pretty useful.

This world is governed by demand and supply. Just like many other governing rules. The most basic, applicable to student kind of demand and supply would be exams. Students nowadays are not studying to gain more knowledge. They do not score well in exams with more knowledge. Instead, the way to score in exams, is to understand the demands of the examiner. How he/she is going to set the question, how we are supposed to answer it.

Students seem to be the suppliers. Education nowadays seem more than just about learning. Its about how to meet the requirements of people up there who wants students to learn.

Then again, the only reason why the examiners set exam questions in certain ways in due to demand. Demands of the governments(what they want their students to learn). Demand of the world, what the world wants in people.

Though honestly, how applicable is knowing about bacteria and viruses, how reactions give out or take in heat, calculate compound interest, write argumentative essays, understand how the currency of china affects america in any single one field? Unless you're some hardcore researcher thinking about how to use reactions to burn bacteria to death such that your bank account can earn more money through the interest so you could interest in RenMingBi.

Truth is, most of what we learn today, will not be useful tomorrow. Or the day after. Especially for science subjects.

The world runs on the ability to supply goods and services to the demands. Relationships are no different.

Many a time we see a single person, act, or react differently in front of different people. Some call them hypocrites, some call them bastards/bitches. What they're in factual sense doing is acting according to the demands of the people they're interacting with. And that's perfectly fine actually. In fact its genius.

Why continue to remain proud in front of your boss? Learning how to bow down at times is the correct way to go. Being nicer to people whom we want to impress is perfectly normal too.

Demands are trying to be met everywhere. Even in nature. Organisms adapt to the harsh environment, in which could also be seen as a demand. To get the sun for photosynthesis, trees grows higher and higher, so they could emerge from the canopy. Enjoy the monopoly.

In other words, its those who are able to meet the demands around them who are most sucessful in life. In every aspect of life, if they are able to maintain that in every corresponding aspects of their lifes.

With that being said, right now, I need to meet the demands of the examiner and become a mugger. If I don't adapt fast enough. I'll probably need a coffin. But it ain't working out. So I guess I should start chopping down some wood.
