Report Card Day

Yea, the title says it all. Today is my school report card day and it’s time for interaction between parents and teachers. Nevertheless, I don’t see this as a normal report card day. For me, this particular day is the time where I should know where I am standing in my studies and this day also marks the 4 months and 3 weeks countdown to STPM, an examination which determines my future, and also most of upper 6 students.

People are saying to get 4 flat or rather a 4.0 in STPM is difficult, as in very difficult and I totally agree with this statement, and so the only way to achieve this is to study smart and study hard. But yet after everything I have done, I feel I have done enough and give my everything, but the result i get is still far from what I desire. Is this my limit? Or is it just impossible to get what I target for?

Of course this doesn’t mean I have already given up. If this is my limit, I will try to break this limit, if this is impossible, I will try making it possible. This is because God created us human with wonderful abilities, the strength and the courage to overcome every obstacles in front of us. It is just the matter of whether we want to provoke it or not.

There’s once during Leo Forum in Penang, a talk was given by Billy on the title ‘Dare To Fail’. If not mistaken, Billy took part in the general election a few times as private candidate and he fail each time, yet he never give up because he practises ‘Dare To Fail’. Fail is not the end of everything, because from failing you will learn something, you will gain experience.

Of course I am not saying we should fail STPM, what I am trying to say is even if we don’t do well in examination in school, our courage shouldn’t be shattered easily because we should ‘Dare To Fail’. After learning and gaining experience, eventually we will succeed, if we do our very very very best and never give up.

*Anyway just some thoughts which pop up suddenly.

*Target 4.0. Gambateh.!!!!!
