And so, it's a new world. A new horizon. A new heaven (or hell, if you will). A seemingly frightening new world that's enough to make you feel as if you have goosebumps on your goosebumps. Who's gonna blame you for that? Our beloved educational system obviously does not prepare you for the big arse challenges that lie in university, PARTICULARLY if you're taking A-Levels, AUSMET, ADP or something similar to the ones I mentioned.
Particularly somebody like me.
Wow, I feel like a d@mn loser! Ahaha.
But no. I'm not. I know I'm a winner. Past achievements made sure of that. It's in the statistics of my life.
Now, all my fees and what not are paid for by the government, my parents spent LOADS of money on me, my sister sacrificed her laptop for me and ended up with a very cumbersome laptop that may have been made centuries ago (I dunno!), and you know how I'm going to repay them?
Easy.
BE RESPONSIBLE.
By all means, I am no master of such an intricate art, an enigmatic web of skill and discipline that can ensnare you the moment you get caught in it - and it's bloody hard to get out of it. I am not Sun Tzu, who wrote 'The Art of War' thousands of years ago, which has been used and applied in daily life so widely (OMG - Mr Noel, I am TOTALLY qualified to be a philosopher! XD) that the potential of it seems endless. I am not Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak, nor am I Barack Obama or Condolezza Rice.
I am just me.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Art of Responsibility is a self-learning process. You learn it all by yourself, through trial-and-error. The more mistakes you make, the more you learn, and the better you'll get.
Welcome to the Art of Responsibility.
