這條題目答案很簡單：

天資決定你的杯有多大，後天決定你的杯有多滿

臨出門口睇見你個post隨即寫兩個字讚一讚，但頭先飲飲吓茶，拎住個茶杯，又有一番領悟。

杯大細，係先天嘅，但唔排除可以後天加建，改變大小，但當然要小心，好似女士隆胸，受唔起分分鐘有反效果。再者，杯細可以入紙申請改變用途，做隻功夫茶茶杯(斷估冇人鐘意用個水桶装茶飲，再唔係喺上面雕龍雕鳳，增加吸引力。一稿兩投，將我喺另一主題介紹嘅歌仔再post喺下面，向其他冇仔女好似聰穎儿兒同Evie咁叻嘅家長鼓勵一吓


Que sera, sera

When I got married and had our baby girl
I asked my sweetheart, what will our girl be like?
Will she be pretty, will she be rich?
Here's what my sweetheart said to me.

Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

我信，後天可以改變先天IQ些少。多我唔敢講，10%應該冇走雞。重有，我哋真係可以做隻快樂小茶杯。

As Randy Pausch says, “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” Put us in the shoes of the parents of the kids of the Thai video.

忽然好想知此比喻之出處，只記得曾看過，但查不到，可否告以？

我肯定喺邊度睇過，google揾到唔少類似引用，但始終揾唔到出處，氣餒。

所引只不過是英國上議院名單，似與閣下命題無關。另英國上議院成員只有略多於10%為可承繼的，不能等同為貴族，其餘皆為委任的，不可傳下去，多為社会各行各業傑出人士。

重有係送嘅，攞完bachelor唔駛再讀都自動「升呢」嘅: MA from Oxbridge and Dublin.

24 歲 PhD 畢業是正常的。

I'd say it's still a bit earlier than the average which is 26-27 in the UK.

正常21歲大學畢業，三年 PhD. 的確有不少要四年以上或有 gap year。

Maybe you are talking about your personal case, but I think we are talking about average here. As usual the answer is just a click away. According to the following report  (para 13 on p 6)http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/Publications/Documents/research_report_doctorate.pdf

The mean age of full-time registrations of PhD programs in the UK is 27.3 years old with the youngest in chemistry (24) and eldest in education (34). And I believe you don't need me to tell you that on average it takes longer than 3 years to complete a PhD, even in the UK.
