Emperor Club lessons
Dec. 20th, 2007 by Al
I watched this film show on TV last nite and realise there’s some connection in our petro world with our elite schooling.But first let me summarise this film:
A history teacher was imparting virtues and principles in St Benedict college for the all boys school in the hope they will all leave school with something more than just book knowledge.In comes a rebellious teenager from a privillege background who seems to get on his nerves by breaking school rules.
He entered a contest with othe pupils and seem to be doing fine till the teacher caught him cheating .Years later he become a successful CEO and invited the teacher back to a county club to reopen the contest about roman history.Again he was caught cheating and lost the contest but the teacher did not expose his deeds.He even wants to run for senator after the contest.
The ex pupil even rebuked his teacher after the contest “Who care, really who even cares, our world is all bout lying and cheating and as long as I get what I want..I live in the real world…”
If one realise that most of our business leaders and polticians are from so called elite schools, we’ve have to understand the mentality of this students.Not all are cheats of course..many are pillars of our society, but what I want stress is not the schools our leaders went through that matters, but the character mould by their teachers and family that truly determine their place in the society…not money, power or trophies that our material society so valued.
The petro cabal unfortunately are filled with elite schoolboys who much wanted to preserve the status quo at the expense of the mass publc interest..look beyond the exterior of one’s leaders
