I always joke about being perfect to my closest friends, but thats superficially. Physically, mentally (IQ), sports, music; its not wrong to say i can do everything.
But i can't control my temper. Oh, i'm not an aggressive person; at least not physically. However, i'm extremely aggressive with my words. And often it leads to saying things i regret later on.
Case in point: feeling that my teacher read thru my question briefly and gave a passing answer without reading my question carefully and thus not answering my question correctly despite my phrasing it differently twice, and not giving a thought to the fact that he might have been extremely busy especially during this exam period, and that my mistake was a careless one (thats the problem with thinking you're always right, you rarely check your work thoroughly); i phrased a scathing and rather condescending third reply consisting of a whole load of 5 paragraphs explaining my single question in 5 different ways and regretted it immediately after, when he replied extremely patiently to point out my mistake step by step, which must have taken at least 20min-half an hour.
I'm grateful that there still are fantastic teachers in Singapore.
