Arrogance precedes shameful downfall

In The Jakarta Post (Aug. 23) I read a complaint about an Arrogant lecturer from the University of Indonesia (UI) by Irvan Septiardi. The complaint letter was reprinted from Bisnis Indonesia.

I am nearing 77-years-old and have had many experiences of being treated like a nothingness "when I was young". I accepted that! Looking back I discovered that the persons, who were arrogant, had many troubles later in life when they become old.

So don't you worry too much about that treatment, take it easy!
