Quote - "Chance of people giving way to you is inversely proportionate to you walking speed"

popped by some very interesting blogs along the way online today and i've awarded a honorable mention to this investigation cum discovery by this blogger who posted his hypothesis. he had one and only one comment for this article and it said - "LAME".

well.. i don't think it's that lame anyway, in fact, intriguing! haha.. i've never thought of this cos' it has never bothered me. anyway, the results:

when u're walking in a crowded area, ever wonder why ppl sometimes give way to u, while others dun? Note dat The Chances of ppl giving way to u is Inversely Proportional to your walking speed. Makes sense? if u're running against a flow of traffic, u'll realise u're doing the avoiding instead of ppl. but if u're almost standing still, most ppl will give way, since there's no point trying to move against your walking lane.


i think it's quite true... ha.

Believe in a "Best Method"

Today, I pen my suggestion that in every situation or problem, there will always be a "Best Method" to proceed on from there or to handle it. I raised this suggestion back in camp during one of the heated discussion. The purpose of my suggestion is to solve the apparent deadlock of "Should we kill 1 to save 10". (which to me is a no brainer question, but some appeared to enjoy confusing it with many other less important considerations). First and foremost, knowing the implication of the existence of a "Best Method in every situation" puts meaning to our discussion, otherwise, it's just useless talk. This is something I left out during the bunk-debate and i regretted not having the chance to clarify. The implication is this: - If a "Best Method" exist, then we can say there is no other better choice than to choose the best method. Thus we should always choose the best method. - If a "Best Method" exist, and if a systematic way to dis...
