Saw this advert while waiting for the bus yesterday:
"Minds once broadened, can never retain their original confines"
Its actually for MINDEF recruitment for Defense Executive Officers.
Is it me or is that quote disturbing? I can't put a finger on what's wrong.... but somehow the second part of the sentence sounds so odd... does anyone retain confines? Shouldn't it be in the passive form: "be retained in original confines" ?
Was so puzzled that I actually sms-ed Des (because he's working there) to ask him to explain the quote.
He said something along that line : that minds would not be naive once they are exposed to new things/information
I replied that i just had to ask him coz it sounded so weird. Think he didn't really appreciate me saying that, but well...
The person who came up with that line is probably feeling so proud of himself/herself. Afterall it did sound kinda bombastic ya? haha! (i hope Des was not the one who came up with it!!!)
ANyWayz ... its really nothing important... i'm so duh...
