Chronic Hero Syndrome

I must admit that I’ve really got some kind of disease called Chronic Hero Syndrome. Apparently, the same thing happens to the famous figures in FEA such as Liksheng and Xinmin.

Just like most main characters in comics or movies, Chronic Hero Syndrome is an "affliction" of particularly idealistic protagonists which renders them unable to say "It's Somebody Else's Problem". Every wrong within earshot must be righted, and everyone in need must be helped, preferably by Our Hero him- or herself. Of course, Peter Parker in Spiderman is a good example.

Vincent Lim is a patient too. The only difference between us and him is he cares more about educating and transforming the local capital market so that investor can be more knowledgeable. (Wow, sounds great but this is what an economics student should dreams about)

The ex-president of Facebook quotes “The only reason we won was because of the gross incompetence of MySpace.” Yes, what has really been the main virus of our syndrome is the suckness of former president of PEKUMA. But the thing which keeps severing our syndrome is the Malaysians who always look local undergraduates through a tinted glass. Worst, even undergraduates themselves do that. FOR EXAMPLE, the act of Thierry Fool (not real name) which keeps licking the shoes of famous-abroad-university-student is really disgusted. (Oops, I said it but who cares!)

Sometimes, even knowing you will get stomachache, you won’t care what you shouldn’t eat when having steamboat. The good thing about this disease is it motivates us to do the RIGHT thing before graduating.

Just like Liksheng said “there are still a lot of geniuses in FEA where we should cooperate with them”. Agree, and I also believe that there are a lot of patients with Chronic Hero Syndrome in FEA who are being de-motivated by those ThierryFool-like species.
