Well, it happened today, during the time I was taking my lunch. We were discussing about the class today (don’t worry; I am not making fool of you. I know this is Sunday and the April fools day, but we have a class on this day too; the coaching for MBAs.) It was scheduled to be taught Vocabulary today and then we had a test of what we learned from different fields. During these discussions, one of my friends pointed out that all the people who are sensible would not have gone to the coaching. I feel I had overreacted; but don’t have to do anything about our topic of discussion today.
On my way back to canteen I started thinking what the definition of a sensible man is. So I Googled it and here is what I found. Now I will try to analyze if he was right or not.
1. “Showing reason or sound judgment”. I don’t think this meaning suit to what he said. People who miss the lecture on the basis that vocab could be done anytime and that test is not important; I ask them; why is it so? You can’t afford to improve your vocabulary just 2 months before the CAT exam. It’s a continuous process. For the people whose vocabulary is fine should at least have attempted the test in order to check where they stand. Practice tests are important because they provide you with a simulation of the actual test and after you screw them, you study at least for two days. So the judgment shown by my friend was not sound. Perhaps he won’t have meant that.
2. “Able to feel or perceive”. This meaning too is not suited to what he said. People who feel that they must qualify the CAT do every effort to qualify that. So according to this theory, a sensible person would never miss the test or the lecture. In order to succeed, you must not think that your opponent (CAT) is weak and attack it by full force. So this meaning contradicts to what he said.
3. “Capable of being perceived by the senses; apprehensible through the bodily organs;
hence, also, perceptible to the mind; making an impression upon the sense, reason, or understanding”.
I don’t think this had anything to do with our discussion.
4. “Easily affected”. It is observed that often people are easily affected to something which is easy
to do. To take a test is not an easy thing. So this is again a contradiction to what our friend said.So what do I conclude? Was my friend right? Or is there some mistake in my interpretation? I don’t say that
I am always right but I say only what I feel. Because Main Azaad Hoon. (Azaad)
