Some people are smart, they juz need to study once while u may need to read and re-read 3 times before u understand the concept. But with hard work, overcoming that is not difficult.
The biggest challenger is always yourself. You study not for ur parents, or to compete with ur friends, or to enter some stupid 'branded' schools.
You study for yourself and your own future.
u have a very "correct" or should i say a perfect way of looking at things
its like the perfect mentality. very ideal.
but this is not wat it actuallly is.
every1 is different, yes.. unique.
but the society only favours those who do well academically.
the rest of them?
u guys beter get some acedemic results b4 coming back with the rest of ur talents.
u are not that smart.
u have to re-read it a few times b4 it gets in.
u probably dun have the time to re-read it this year..
how bout we retain u and u try agin next year.
if u still cant im sorry. u just have to find somewhere else which would take u.
u can be really hardworking..
but if u still dun get it? sry man we gotta release u.
the biggest challenge is urself.
classic.
the biggest challenge? its the society not u.
u study for urself.
of course.
not for any1. but it all boils down to the society again.
out there, its a dog-eat-dog world.
the strongest survive the weakest die.
thats the way of life. compete or die.
if the society is really more forgiving to the failures, im sure there would be lesser stress around and more failures.
by the way, "branded" schs are not stupid.
they are branded becos they actually produce results.
results--->smart ppl.
therefore branded =/= stupid.
thats the way society is.
unless we correct that mentality it will always be like that.
