How interesting would it be when having the President… at school?

I think children of Malaysia would love to see their Prime Minister too, face to face in an informal dialogue session as above.

That one was on September, where Barack Obama spoke to 9th grader at Wakefield High School in Virginia. Students were free to ask questions and Obama will straightly replies them. Cool isn’t it?

The essence of this video is highlighted at 1:40 when a student stood and said,

When I grow up, I’d like to have your job! Is there any advice you can give me, or career past that I..things that I need to know?

So Obama gave a practical tip saying that,

First of all, I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook. Because in the YoutTube age, whatever you do it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life.

What I could conclude is, say that if you were really SOMEBODY in the future, there’ll always someone who is in state of jealousy over you. Worse, this guy may be the one who knows you since  school. And he knows your past. So he picks the dark one  and uses it against you to jeopardise your life. Be it a video, picture, or statement you once posted on Facebook.

This is somewhat similar to my Ustaz’s advice before we graduate from our secondary school. He reminded us not to involve in premarital sex or homosexual acts. If we were to be a noted individual in the future, they might come out of nowhere and ask for something valuable. And if you refuse, well.. they have past experience with you. So, it’s about manipulation to drop your reputation.
