I think everyone should be selfish, just because everyone is in fact, selfish.

School taught me valuable things which I am able to use them everyday. Today morning is a good example. My brother, cousin Benjamin and I took the train at eight in the morning. We needed to travel to Novena where my grandma stayed in. As we were travelling up the escalator, my brother and Benjamin stood on the left side, while I remained on the right side. Benjamin said that I should stand on the left side of the escalator, in order for passengers who are in a hurry to breeze through the crowd. I asked, "Why should I?" He replied that school taught us to always think of others before ourselves. So I replied, "Really? But school taught me that we should always be responsible for it when we are late, didn't they?"

I see no reason why I should make way for these irresponsible people when they should account for themselves when they are late. If they were earlier, they wouldn't need to rush to take the train, isn't it?

Hahaha, quite true. But sometimes people might get caught up in an emergency.
