Diamond and graphite r both made of carbon atoms, but y do their prices differ greatly? Who doesn't like diamonds, n who would hav wanted to buy n treasure graphite?
Well, the answer is really simple. Diamond is rare compared to the abundant graphite, which makes it so precious n expensive. Diamond is formed under a very high pressure, while graphite results from low pressure environment. Diamond can be turned into graphite under high temperature, but graphite cannot be transformed into diamond.
Likewise, compare diamond n graphite to human beings. if u can withstand high pressure n turn out to be just fine, u'll be a diamond loved n appreciated by other ppl. but beware, if u r too arrogant, always causing ppl's blood boiling(this is where the high temperature comes into picture), ur value may drop n u'll turn into graphite. if u already succumb to high pressure in the first place, don't bother to be a diamond. u just can't make it. cruel but true.
I want to be a diamond. :)
ps: pls pardon me for the simple english n short post. long time no write. gotta clean the rust in my brains d. hehe.

holiday at malaysia was good but unfortunately too short.... now back to my hectic life again lo. how i wish we could just go back to the times after spm, just eat sleep n play. sigh. anyway, u seem busy also. all the best in ur new world. n just ignore those unfriendly ppl. i'm sure u'll make new great friends there. =)
