Quality or quantity?

Here we go again.

So now, get serious.

Quality or quantity?

Quality, which refers to how good it is, and quantity, which refers to how much it has.

So which one is more important? (Ok i am like jumping to the point too fast here this time to save your. Oh look i wasted some time.

Let me start off with quantity.

Quantity is how much something has. Right. How much. So is it right of me to say that the more i do, the better i am? Ok, perhaps you all have not understood my point. Let us take blogger as an example. So is it right of me to say, the more i blog, the better i am? I will get more ace points? Is that really the case? I know everyone heard the phrase, the more the merrier. Peoples' mindsets are always thinking that if i do extra work, i do more work, i would get good results as my good work will be covered by my bad work and they tend to do more work. However, is it true? Is it accurate? Or is it a misconception? I have always been thinking about this and i cannot come up with an answer. Ok, after reading this, you may think, aiya, since you say its not so accurate, then of course it is bad. Think again. That is rather only my perspective of viewing things. People sees things in a different light. But there are also people who shares my views in an indirect way. For example, my biology teacher.

So what's so special about him? What is so special about him you may ask. Well, he only allow us to do one ace per person per term. OY MY GOSH, SO STRICT! That is what you may think. People can only depend on this one ace to get all five marks. That is seriously strict. However, think of it in a positive light. By doing this, isn't he making us do quality work? If we only do one biology ace, we will make sure we do it good and we do it neatly, hence we will all produce great ace submissions. By doing this, he is stressing us to force us to be afraid and anxious and prevents us from having the mindset, " Ok we can submit one ace after another. If it is not accepted then we do another one." Given this mindset, people tend to relax and not do work diligently.

You got my point? Right. Let us move on to quality.

Quality is how good something is. Great! How good something is! When we do things, we tend to say qualitive work. That means that the work produced must be nicely done. So quality is better than quantity? Hmmm...... I agree this to a certain extend. Of course, when we do things, we must do them with our best effort. My mother always tells me, if you want to do this, do it well. I agree. I f we want to do things, we cannot or should not anyhow do it. We should put in our best effort so it is worthy! My teachers also often tell me, Quality, not quantity! How many times do i have to tell you! You see, i always hand in quantitive pieces of work when i was in primary school. Obviously i changed for the better now! I had enough of that then and was pondering over that since then. well, at least i got to write down this in a blog! So after all this blatant blabbering, you all think that quality is better than quantity, right? Think twice.

Right. So which is better, quantity or quality? You all may think, aiya, quantity no hope already. It gotta be quality. Haha, i do not really think the same way.

In my opinion, both are equally important. Whoa whoa whoa. You all may be dropping your jaws and saying, ARE YOU NUTS? Quality is better than quantity! If that is what you think, think again.

Lets put this in a different prespective then.

As we all know, if we do qualitive work, we need to put in a lot a lot of effort into it and we need to sacrifice a lot a lot of our time into it. We would need to concentrate on it and pay full attention on doing it. That is really quite hard to accomplish as people usually do not have the time and effort to do those things. This is when quantity comes in.
