... critical thinking ...

... what should i do now? what should i do? ...
... this is what a lot of people will think at the very first second when they face serious trouble or be in great danger ...
... i admit i may be one of them, too ...
... why am i mentioning about this critical thinking thing? ...
... today, 6 houses nearby my house got on fire, thank god they didn't get burn down to ashes ...
... and the houses are just 1 minute walk from my house ...
... imagine how near that is ...
... luckily the wind blew to another side, bringing the flame not to the direction of my house ...
... if not ...
... when i got back home after "offering my concern" with my neighbours, (i know i'm getting auntie-ish nowadays... sigh... ) i started thinking about this critical thinking ...
... many people get panicked when they get into serious danger or trouble ...
... just take the fire as an example, what will you think of saving at the first place? ...
... many people will say "of course your documents!" ...
... yes, it is ...
... but will you be calm enough to even think of taking your documents with you? ...
... or you just run out of the house without saving anything? ...
... according to my mum, one of her friend actually chose to save her marriage photo instead of any other thing ... lolz ...
... laugh, you may, but are you sure that you won't be saving anything similar when you are in that particular situation? ...
... and so i asked this to myself ...
... what would i choose to save? ...
... the first thing of course would be my most-important-of-all IC and other personal documents ... and also my family's ... lolz ...
... then the next thing would be my valuables ...
... what are my valuables? ...
... money, of course, i won't let them get burnt down to ashes ...
... and my laptop, i won't let it burnt in the fire, I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST WEEK! HOW COULD I LET MY 2000 BUCKS BURNT DOWN TO ASHES?! ...
... next, my CDs ... i know it's not important, but hello, they costed my alot ...
... and then my clothes, my books, etc haha ...
... i think there won't be enough time for me to save all these ...
... or if there is time, the fire is not big enough, so no worries ... lolz ...
