Just got an inspiration from my Thai friend..How we can use lab things as a lesson for our lives..^^..Actually we talked about failure, and then she said that the failure is like our worked in lab, it’s not always succeed, but we can learn from our failure,searching for the mistake and then do it over until we succeed. And then suddenly i thought we can learn many lessons from lab, especially from bacteria/ microbes..^^
1.Microbes are small living creatures, we cant see them with naked eyes..Some microbes can be Mr. Jekyll, but some can be Mr. Hyde..hehehe..like us, we can be a good person and give a good impact for our surroundings, or we can give a bad influences and make others upset..The differences between us with microbes is the microbes can be Mr. Jekyll or Hyde depends on their genes and surroundings,but we can choose what we want to be. We cant blame our parents or our surrounding for making us a bad person,it’s our own decision..^^..
2. Bacteria strives to lives..^^..When we culture microbes,we try to make a suitable condition for them,the nutrition or even the temperature. But sometimes they can adapt and still grow even the condition isn’t optimum. In my university, the E.coli can grow in Potato Dextrose Agar which is an agar for fungi..^^..Well we usually said the E.coli was mutated..^^..In fact it strives, the bacteria regulate its genes so it can live in its new environtment. I believe bacteria that can live in extreme conditions like Thermococcus was struggle first before it can lives in high temperature..As a human we need to adapt and struggle for living in this world. Life is tough..^^..
3. Before the bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae can invade our immune system, they colonize first..Not only for invasion, microbes always live with their colony, that’s why we always count them as colony form unit (CFU).The point is we can’t live alone, we need others to help us, strengthen us. Together we are strong..^^
Well…I think my brain was contaminated with the lab “things”..hehehe…enough for this morning..Xp
