charcoal VS diamond

(BARRY I know you are reading this, finish reading the whole thing before you start to strangle me)

LIfe has never always been fair. I mean it's like some of the people (sch*l*rs) are treated as diamonds, shiny, expensive BUT useless. And most of the time, the rest of the people are like charcoal.

Charcoal and Diamonds are both composites of carbon with different structure.
A same element with 2 different fate. Charcoal - burnt and dump away, Diamonds - treasured like treasure.

Why did I say that? Hmmm, well.

Charcoal: Burns strongly - gives off lights and heat to benefit others, but at the end of the day, reduces to a pile of ashes.

It's pretty much like normal you and me. One may not be academically strong but you could fulfil tasks given to you to the best of your abilities producing outstanding results but what you deserve towards the end are just a thank U, or maybe even a dinner. SOMETIMES YOU GET NONE. OR even worst, you get treated like a pile of ash. Sad case isn't it?

Diamonds: Pretty, shiny stuff, very expensive.

It's just like sch*l*rs. The shine during their studies, pretty impressive. Organisation pays good money to provide them with more education and a good job. Expensive isn't it? Hmmm. At the end of the day, what the results produced? Useless bunch of idi*t. What makes them stands out from you and me? Academic? Shallow isn't it.

Results are never or at least should never be a measurement of a person. But many a time, organisations uses results as a form of measurement of the person. And alas, capable people who can't study are left aside to die.

Thank god most (not all) of my friends who are scholars belongs to another catergory which i called graphite. Still made of carbon. But graphite are more useful, strong and can be used to make into building structures to benefit people.
