cheers everyone.

great wars are first won by failures
everyone have their off days. its not your accomplishment that makes you successful, but it is your ability to pick yourself up and overcome failure that makes you successful
without failure, you can never taste the greatness and sweetness of your success
if you succeed all the time, you will be arrogant and take succees for granted, but if you have failed, and know the pain of failing, you can inspire others to succeed despite failure. meaning you learn to plant long lasting seeds and sow long lasting fruits
it is true in singapore we have to be practical, but i say, if you starting from today, give yourself another chance, keep your head down, and work hard, your chance to pick up again will come.
you are in poly now, and failing a semester does not mean the end of the world. don't write yourself off. everyone is important and have a gift, just focus in believing in urself
i have a friend he is in SMU Law now, GPA is 3.83/4.00 double degree in Law and accountancy. he started by screwing up his Os, he did worse than i did. because of his CCA he made it to Catholic JC where he studied arts. every1 looked down on him than, but he believed in himself. he worked hard. he made it to NUS maritime studies after As, but it was not a course he wants, so he applead to business in SMU, rejected 3 times, by the forth, somehow, maybe cuz of his determination, the headmaster let him in to SMU. he started as econs, than before school start he saw an opening in accountancy, he applied, he got in. He worked hard for first semester and he did very well. when SMU launch the law program, he applied, and got in. all these did not happen without hard work and perseverance. he was humilated when screw up his Os, but he dint let ppl dictate his life. He gave himself a chance.
i am not asking u to be him, but i plead with u that u be urself. u r a very special person. u have gift and talents that no one can replace. ur presence in this world is important regardless of whether people acknowledge that or not.
just believe. the path is long, many doors will close, but many doors will open. you just have to pay attention to the open ones
never give up
