If you’re thinking that <<I Not Stupid 2>> is a stupid show, let me tell you here; its not.
I am rather pleased with the show, as usual, Jack Neo’s production has got a very deep Singaporean favour which reminds me of my childhood.. Everything shown in the movie is true about the children in Singapore.. leading the path of being bad because they’re least concerned by people around them..
At the introduction of the movie, they already made a very great impact to me.. They asked this question: "When was the last time you sang praise to someone?" And "When was the last time people praised you?".. So what if I sang praise about someone? Would he/she reply praise you back? Praise is something that has no return; because you may have seen what’s good in other people BUT they have not seen anything good about you yet.. Surely you won’t want them to lie to you about your strengths?
Is praising people that hard? If you’re my friend, I am positively sure I have sang a praise to you.. But ask yourself, when you receive a praise, do you actually be humble over it and keep it to yourself OR look at my strengths and return me a praise? Praise is not just an encouragement; it motivates us. Moreover, its free! It doesn’t kill to praise someone. So if you happen to have seen anyone’s strong point, please let them know.
And the show did mentioned something very meaningful.. "There’s no children in the world that cannot be taught, there are ONLY parents who can’t teach well…" Its a direct translation from the movie, so pardon my language.
