On Test taking.

Post by mnaz » August 3rd, 2008, 12:15 am

If you have the question,
you'll probably pass.
If your family is dynastic,
you'll probably pass.
If you are iconoclastic,
you'll probably pass.
If you came from plastic,
you'll probably pass.
Everything passes.
It all passes.

Show up - you pass. I like this.

caustic social commentary with an edge of foreboding - nicely done!

half of living, as they say, is showing up.....well done
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

all things must pass (george harrison)
still!
didn't know google translated hebrew! where can i find this thing?

i love this, mnaz. It's true, it's true, but if so, why is test anxiety such a rampant global trauma. perhaps your poem should be distributed in worldwide kindergardens

geez judi I just did a straight forward google on the hebrew text
"gam zeh ya’avor"which I found here
http://www.kerrytribe.com/neon.html

after I had googled the English words this too shall pass
Then I googled gam zeh ya’avor
which took me to the hebrew text
גם זה יעבור‎
which I found on wikipedia
This too shall pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"This too shall pass" (Hebrew: גם זה יעבור‎, gam zeh yaavor) is a phrase occurring in a Jewish wisdom folktale involving King Solomon. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_too_shall_pass - 19k - Cached - Similar pages
which I am taking with a grain of salt because it could be hebrew for "kiss my ass" for all I know.

I found a useful progran called wiki scan
lets you track the ISP address of who is editing a wicki

Sometimes oil company execs are editing posts about oil, or someone from the EPA is editing a wicki about polution being good for you.

I hope that helps
makes it all clear as mud.

mnaz you ever take the hogan test?
I failed
a personality profile trucking companies give their drivers to find out how safe they will be.

I got three questions wrong
"people can often feel my power" T/F
"I know why stars twinkle" Y/N
"I know how to use a microscope Y?N
I was very disapointed
I guess I got complacent
I used to be such a good test taker when I was a kid.
