On the 3rd of March (article taken from the Chinese Daily news), an NTU prefessor was stabbed in the back, and attained multiple injuries to his hands and arms after a struggle with the student who tried to stab him. It was reported that the NTU professor was trying to stop the student from committing suicide after he stabbed him (the professor). I must say that this professor is a very good man, he would still try to save a student who stabbed him in the back.

Now, stated in the article, was a reason why the student committed suicide. The reason being that he lost his scholarship and so, I am infering that he could have felt great remorse over such and could not handle the stress - and so, resorted to committing suicide.

For the matter of the loss of the boy's scholarship, he lost it due to his incompetence (put harshly) and regress in grades of the subjects he was to be taking at the university. His grades had regressed indirectly (or perhaps, directly?) to the fact that he had spent more time on computer games. Mindless, useless games that wasted his precious time, that he could have used on studying for his courses (which he had worked so hard for the schlolarship to pay for the courses).

I feel that, in my own opinion, which should not play too much computer games (that is, I am not totally against computer gameplay) and spend more time doing more meaningful things, like interacting with our family and friends or, of course, studying.
