The error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience, while the error of age is to believe experience is a substitute for intelligence.

haha... the next 2 days are going to be super hectic.
hope i can pull it through in one pieceeeeeee ><
mmm then after that, it'd be just nice to challenge the tirade of teachers' day plans. and this time, it will be 2 weeks. not 2 days. 14.
BUT ANYWAY, i realised history is soooooooooooooooooo interesting. haha reading up on new perspective provides one with new ideas and solutions, as well as broadening our scope of knowledge! xD
The West did not, as is widely believed, win the Cold War through geopolitical containment and military deterrence. Nor was the Cold War won by the Reagan military build-up and the Reagan Doctrine, as some have suggested. Instead, "victory" for the West came when a new generation of Soviet leaders realized how badly their system at home and their policies abroad had failed. What containment did was to successfully stalemate Moscow's attempts to advance Soviet hegemony. Over four decades, it performed the historic function of holding Soviet power in check until the internal seeds of destruction within the Soviet Union and its empire could mature.hahaha useful for history students maybe? wa sian i couldn't find any more international history books in the school library aka it's been koped by everyone else. hmmm, but i guess the internet is not that bad either. hope it has enough info for my term paper.
OK! time for the exciting, nerve-wrecking, exhilarating and mind-blowing experiences ahead!
