Re: A testimony to my unique FIRST experience:

Thanks everyone for all your kind words! I didn't expect anyone to actually read through the whole post. Most people just tell me they skim through my posts whenever they are beyond 5 paragraphs. You should really give yourself a pat on the back for not falling asleep ;-).

It felt really good getting all of that off my chest, mostly because they are not great for starting conversations at a robotics competition: "Oh by the way, how do you think we can inspire kids to be the next Einstein?" People seem to want to talk more about robots, who's going to win the game, or problems with their school administration.

A big reason I post on the Chief Delphi Forum is the chance to write. I don't have much writing skills, but I find myself thinking over and over again about a topic that interest me until the post is satisfactory. It's a lot of fun taking notes of random thoughts about a topic, and organizing them into long messages. The writing process helps me a lot on figuring out what I really feel about a certain issue. I usually reach a conclusion only after many attempts to write a post about it.

So while you guys continue to debate about robots, strategy, or little green dots, I am going to find some other topics to think about. I hope you realized that it’s possible to have fun posting on the Chief Delphi Forum ;-).

The sleeepy one,
Ken Leung
