If those people with a critical eye to the society can find their way to places like LSE, they may become distinguished scholars and not shooters.

Was interviewing an undergraduate student today. Need to look for an RA for the lab. He has this weird haircut. He's obviously very smart. He knows exactly what he wants to do and he's working hard to take the steps towards his goal.

My advisor said, sometimes it's good to be different. There can be meanings associated with being different. We don't have to be the same as everyone else.

Well, I had that eye-catching blonde short hair when I was in CUHK. Yet, I doubt any professors said anything remotely comparable to what my advisor said.

I didn't even get accepted in the psychology postgraduate diploma program. I have little idea what those CUHK people looked for in their potential graduate students. Anyways, I should thank them for not accepting me. Or I would not go to LSE.

I might be a shooter if I continued to study in CUHK.
