  Me... Used to be quite bochap and playful... Even got negative marks before (after getting close to zero an subtracted marks for not handing up homeworks...)...
  
  The CRUELTY of this world drove me up to become the top students in school... And during the reign of which I really bother to exercise my diligence, no one even bother to compare their grades against mine across various classes....

  It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer.

  I remember reading this article,
  
  about this girl who initially worked hard to get into a prestigious school, but could only go to Normal Acedemic. Across the years, she got promoted to Normal Technical in Sec.3, and finally Express in Sec.4.
  
  Impressive, ain't she?

  No lah, where got? Once lousy, always lousy. No need to try. Stop wasting your time, drop out of school and quickly get a job.

  Did you read up on the boss of JIT (Just In Time), a company that does PCB boards? He was in the ITE and graduated. Learn the trade from others and started his company himself. Though I'm not too sure if JIT is still around or it has changed to another name called Flextronics.....
  
  But this guy is quite capable even though he only had a cert from ITE.
