It is hard work that paid 4!!!Originally posted by rathcycle:I am not looking down on hawkers, actually i admire hawkers.
But i am not interested in it.
You know what, there are so many hawkers drving merc and beemers..
some even got private apartment...
I m 50 yrs old and dont know why God let me live that long till now.actually, I m prepared to die at the age of 40. I m at the cross road like u even I am a Professional. But one thing I tell myself all of us who born in this world will hve the purpose in life ,dont give up!! If u cant study,looking for something u can do the best in life,studying is the process but yr life is the utimate.
In Europoean countries,handly man earns more than professional,life to them is much more happier as well.
Wishing U all the best!!! enjoying whatever u do n do it to the best u can!!! -
you are interested in bikes and drivingOriginally posted by rathcycle:First of all, to those who don't know me, i shall intro myself first la ya...
I'm 16, retained student, cannot study type, super super problematic, a few police cases still pending and have no hopes and no plans for my future.
Today, while talking to my aunt.. she talk about, what do i want to be in the future, i told her the fact that i cannot study and do not wish to continue my studies, i know even if i do continue, i would just fail badly.
Their question to me, without 'o' levels, i cannot even work as a taxi driver or a bus driver... and am i going to work odd job for the rest of my life...
I thought so too, what am i going to do, without a degree or a cert, what can i do, i cannot be cao ah beng and eat off my parents for the rest of my life.
I need to achieve something.
I feel useless suddenly...
But i do not want to study too,
I really don't know what to do...
I do not have any "yi zi zhi chang"
or what others called your good points.
I am interested in playing with bikes and driving but that one cannot feed me...
I don't know where to go if i am to leave secondary school now...
My few relatives actually suggest that i go and learn to be barber... but i also not that determined, maybe i cannot think for myself yet la.
Then also, my mother is fully dissapointed in me already, what i do nowadays she also don't care, makes me very sad also...
Am i a failure ?
What should i do...?
What CAN i do ?
Maybe suggest what i should do for now until NS and maybe show me something that could improve my future.
Sorry for long post.
first u have to assess are u well in-depth of a bike
you can help people to install car radios and beings a mechanic
then when u earn enuff ..do try to take NTC-2 in Automotive
you will sure earn 1.6 in future if u work hard .
Success is what you work towards it ..not just a vision to hold to -
mechanics at its most basic is still maths and physics what.. which he claims tt he sees already wanna sleep.. so if he has some sorta "interest" in it.. i guess once he gets down to studying it he will lose all interest...Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:if you have an interest, how is it you know nuts about it??

chinese(thinking of dropping to CL 'b'.. chinese CMI)
SS + history(sure fail)
Combined sciences - chem / phy(sure fail)
POA(hope can pass, but alot to memorise)
And you all say i got1 more year, i dun even know if i can pass my sec 3 EOY exam this year.

it is gd tat u are revising ur maths .. try to get a pass out of ur maths.. maths is actually a alright subject ... coz u can see almost immediate results when u study maths .... anyway dont multi task ... seriously veri ez get distracted one like maybe when u are tryin to solve this maths equation halfway den ur brain is thinking maybe i can check the sgforums see gt ppl post on my topic or nt den reply abit after tat u will be glued to sgforums but the time u rmb ur maths equation u will be like aiya so hard dont wan to do alrdy ... maybe a motivation will be when u reply one post u try to solve a maths sum .. !!Originally posted by rathcycle:I sleep in the afternoon, do stuffs at night. Just only revise maths...
i can multi task...*wink -
Go to ite to start fresh learning or go enrol into private schools that offer diploma certification..start another path and grow from there..
i was also like you last time but i got my 2nd wind. Then i became successful
So chin up and dun let anything get you down.. in future you will get the respect that you deserve after being successful.
-
Those subjects that you've indicated (hope to pass), I am sure (subconsciously) in your mind you've already some confidence level in them. For a start, in the coming exams, try to achieve a pass in those first to boost your confidence. With that, I am sure you will be motivated enough to try clearing the other subjects.
Just my 2 cents worth. -
At least u ddint go do Jail.
I go the slammers come out still can get quite good job , so doesnt mean u cannot ma. Urs just small case man..
get Certificate , then diploma , then degree then work. Simple. But u gotta have the will to study. at least try. Or i teach u one method. Do somethnig big.. n get sent to jail.. n u know how it feels like. N in the mean time u study a cert in there.. i confirm u got nothing to do until u will study. -

You are your worst enemy.
If you cannot even defeat yourself, you will succumb to the opinion of what others think of you.
So what if your teacher has given you up? So what if your mum thinks poorly of you?
Have you given yourself up?
Should I scorn at your state, the result would manifest in the form of an ego-retaliation. You don't want people to look down on you, but what have you got to prevent people from doing that? In fact, you should treat all this negativity as a challenge you would want to surmount - no point getting uptight with negative remarks more than you must prove to yourself that you will have the last laugh.
You are now fearful of your future because you realise, in Singapore, how closely tied our education and career is together. Obviously our educational system isn't one size fits all and you seemed to fall slightly outside this rigid system.
I believe in inner development before the desire to learn and succeed will naturally foster within. But I think there is much to be achieved. (1) I could even see a lack of initiative to even FIND OUT things relating to your future and you would rather people do it for you?...can any kind souls help me check if i can enter AVI or Shatec or some schools like that....
(2) What about temper? Are you going to punch the next guy who comes up to you, taunting about how screwed up your life is? Or are you going to suck it up, smile faintly and determine to work your guts out to have that last laugh to whoever that despises you?
(3) What about all the other thingy in life? Drugs? and all those sh!t? Have you dropped those habits?
Because ultimately, your life is dictated by how you run yourself. You are your own enemy to your destiny. Either you rise to the occasion or end up with one huge screw up that probably spells game over... forever.
I believe you have the wisdom to discern what I want to say. If you want to change your fate people have forecasted for you, you got to evolve yourself.
Cheers -
why dun U take this term holiday which starting on friday... to think over it.... what you want to do....... and how you can achieve it...
talk to your close friend or sizzling over it....
Don't waste your youth term easily... without a fight and fight spirit. -
There you go! You've found your interest and potential! Work on it.Originally posted by rathcycle:I'd like to be a mechanic, but my mum looks down on it, say no future and all, actually i'd like to be a mechanic.
I love mechanical stuffs.
Engines and all...
Don't care whoever that looks down on your vision or dreams, JUST DO IT. -

Up to you whether or not you want to take his advice. -
haha.. i recognise your nick. i'm not a member yet (soon to be!)..i just browse through the site quite often...Originally posted by markzz:Well.... u are looking at another Togoparter right now!
Evomark is my nick,
and Voodoo Sobo is my ride!
wad's ur togoparts nicK? -
rathcycle, you better wake up your idea. Dun think ppl must take pity on you all the time, have you ever consider other ppl's feelings too? whack ppl up, cause trouble etc. you are making the ppl ard you more troubled than yourself! Have you ever wondered why ppl laugh at you? Even though you are capable of standing up for yourself, but still, ppl laugh at you? why?
Can't pass a single subject? I dun believe it...english, ok, at least you pass, than maths, just need to practice your ten yr series..the ten yr series really help me a lot man, you shld do that.
All in all, you are taking n levels now right? N levels is quite easy..just need to know the basics and ta-da, you've passed. For o levels, the markings kinda strict so have to wrok harder than n levels. N levels, you just need to write the basics out, they will just close one eye and let you pass. -
my problem also very similar to you except worse... stopped schooling at p3 now can't even write let alone maths whatever these thing you very good liao good luck to you

Don't worry, I'm also a failure in life.

You want success.
You want people to respect you.
You want to do something people look up to you.
But the way you are behaving. Do you think you deserved respect?
You want the fruits, but you do not want to pay the price and put in the hard work.
The problem is not you can't study.
There's no such thing as "I can't study" thats just an excuse.
The problem lies in yourself. When you are ready to face the world like a Man. Then seek us for our help again.
God only help those that want to help themselves. -
This is not meant to be insulting, but my honest opinion. I read your original post and it comes across as 'I give up'. The moment you have that mentality, all is lost. From what you have written, it is all in your mind that you cannot perform or study in school. However, it is good that you realise the consequences of your future life if you do not work hard now.
Best is to use that fear of being useless as the main driving force to push you to work harder. Everytime you want to slack or feel lazy, just contrast a picture of a successful man vs. someone who has to toil and slog just for his daily mean.
Everyone can be lazy. No one wants to work hard if they don't have to. The main difference between someone who works harder is usually because they feel the pressure to succeed and know the what-if consequences if they do not achieve.
The truth is, no one can help you. No one at all. Only yourself can make the change. No point coming here and whine, to complain to the forum. Only you can make the difference in your own life. Either you start now or 10 years down the road, you be regretting the what-if's. Just keep reminding yourself of that taste of pride, that taste of success after that hard work. Perhaps, you have never savoured succeeding before and feel how delicious it is. Just imagine, doing well in school and to make your mom proud and you feel good knowing you have a good future. Just keep that vision in your head and pressure forward. -
You've got to CHANGE. This is Singapore , even very basic jobs require at least some education, when you start working you'll want to study and that might be too late, you still have your opportunity now, why not seize it.
