REVOLUTIONARY MINDS OF CHE

Dear students,

Much has been said about causes of success and failure of pmr candidates last year, be they coming from students, teachers or the management.Some came up with numerous reasons and means to overcome including weaknesses and strengths. I prefer not to dwell much on that same old script.For English i think the reason is students don't like reading.Amongst the possible solutions is make them read.Like writing, reading also maketh a man.The sole yet noble objectives of identifying those causes are for further improvement.

Agreed we were unanimously in the meeting among pmr teachers held last week to improve our school performance by giving our all to make sure this year we manage to produce at least 10 students with straight As.Too lofty the dream compared to what we have been doing all this while including me especially in terms of planning let alone execution and monitoring part.The saying if you fail to plan is plan to fail comes at no better time.

Nevertheless, the same things have been repeated over the years with almost the same result. The problems might lie within ourselves as to me we don't have what the the Egyptian and Tunisian have right now revolutionary minds, dare to risk their skin for greater good.Out of necessity. Maybe mother of invention is lost within our midst as we are too used to all ephemeral things gracefully dancing before our eyes. Until the aim becomes a necessity we forever remain as we are at present, nothing more nothing less.Revolutionary could be found nowhere but in dictionary only.

Here are a few quotes from revolutionary leaders whose own life was at stake to bring about greater goods for the greatest numbers possible.Not all of his quotes worthy to ponder but there must always have good messages the great minds trying to convey.


Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.
Che Guevara

I don't care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting.
Che Guevara

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.
Che Guevara

Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Che Guevara

Silence is argument carried out by other means.
Che Guevara

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
Che Guevara

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Che Guevara

To pen off, let us ponder what Descartes once shared ' Cogito ergo sum '. i think therefore i am. But i am more a procrastinator than a doer.And i am in search of formula to overcome this deadly disease though new lines of thought claim that it is good sometimes if we are procrastinator as it does not affect others the worse like what a blessing for a family at a wedding ceremony in Iraq if Bush delayed the bombardment. Or smas students will still enjoy the same vigor from Miss F to face the battle of spm and pmr for at least this year.

But, Che was dead, and his fighting spirit transfered to the very few only.Sadly, not to our so called principal.

Sir
