The french.

While I was telling my friend that I am taking french classes during my inter-sem break. He questioned my sanity in doing that.

I replied with a smug that "french is an useful language" as quoted from my sister. He said I am wrong. And pointed out that the french are lazy people...

I thought it is just his crap when he said that, until today, I couldn't disagree anymore.

My french tutor actually told us (the class) that in France, the French prefered to study than working, due to the fact that life would be much easier, less stress, more leisure etc.

And they can study any type of topics under the sun in Paris university. She said they don't need to pay that much sum of money to get into University, only about 200 franc...in the past.

The people studied what they are interested then they start to learn the required knowledge for work. Then they went to work.

Suddenly what she had spoken coincides with the comment made by my friend which lingered in my mind. If DNA between a monkey and human is about 90%, then the fact must be 99% true.

Just a thought,
Zhaoru.
