Be the One Comforted or Comforting Others
This is going to be a serious topic that is sensitive, especially to the 4 guys who took Chinese. However, I will try to be as neutral as possible, whilst calling a spade a spade.
What do I mean? We have all seen how much our results can affect even the strongest of us all. Poor results and good results, I bet you have seen both. I do not mean to offend anyone here, but it is distinct and clear the differences in the class atmosphere on January 20 and August 19. If you dont know what these two dates mean, go fly a kite. They are the days when we got our O level CHinese results.
Two days, same subject, two totally different moods and atmospheres. Why? YOu answer yourself.
But what is my point? Ask yourself this question. Next year January,
DO YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO IS COMFORTED BY OTHERS, OR BE THE ONE COMFORTING OTHERS?
I think what I say is quite crystal. You all know the underlying meaning. The question is, will you put in the effort.
While some of you are complaining about the lot of work we face, some of us ESPECIALLY LOUD COMPLAINS, think. Isn't all of us facing the same thing, if not worse? Why is it that some can do it and some cannot? Why is it that some of us DO NOT complain regardless of work received and face it positively, while others COMPLAIN and cry father cry mother?
WHY?
CHOICE. You choose. You choose how the work is going to benefit you. You choose whether you will be comforted or be comforting others. YOu choose whether you want to get the shock of your life next January.
YOU CHOOSE WHAT JC YOU WANT TO GO TO, BY THE ACTIONS YOU DO TODAY.
I mean it. In less than 12 days, Prelim 3 will be here. In less than 65 days, O level. TIME IS RUNNING OUT MAN!!!!
I know many of you are unhappy with how Mr Yong treated you guys just now in the morning. Unreasonable, as some will say.
You know what I think? I think that his way of doing things is a little too dominating, manipulative, and by ALL MEANS, I think that we should not raise our voices. But what is the purpose? He wants us to get the A1s!!!
How do you think that he managed to pull last year's double science class to nearly all As and even outdo some triple science classes? He means us well, and I think it is only right to do our work and TYS.
No, I am not speaking up for him. I am just expressing my opinions. I agree that one should not shout at us in class. But his motives are for the right reasons.
And think about it...some of us guys ALWAYS complain that we have not enough time. Hmmm I wonder why. We all have the same 24 hours, we all leave school around the same time, we all take the same number of subjects. WHY IS IT PEOPLE LIKE SHENG MAO DOESN'T EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME? WHY IS PEOPLE LIKE MITCHELL AND ANDREW CAN DO WORK WITHOUT FAIL AND EVEN HAND IN EXTRA WORK?
I am not defending them, but for heaven's sake, STOP CALLING THE MMUGGERS!!!. That includes me myslef. BE FAIR TO THEM!!! They put in the effort, so dont be sour grapes and just because YOU DONT HAVE THE DETERMINATION, IT DOESN;T MEAN THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE LIKE YOU!
As I told you, i may sound offensive, but this is what I really feel. Stop gloating about how I am wrong and you should close this window right now. Think.
Next year when you get yout results, should you not put in effort and dont get decent results, WHO THE HECK IS GONNA CARE ABOUT YOU????
Of course, we will comfort you and the class, teachers and others will console you as you cry. But once you leave the sch0ol with the in decent results, NO ONE IN THIS WORLD IS GONNA GIVE A DAMM ABOUT YOU!!!
I think I am a little overboard and emotional now, but yea, that's what I really feel that you guys should really know.
Remember, scroll down and see the JC statistics. You choose which JC you want to aim for, BUT whether your goals can be fulfilled, it is all up to you.
KNOW THIS-- NO ONE WILL CARE ABOUT YOU EVEN IF YOU FALL. WE ARE LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD.
So, the question is:
DO YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO IS COMFORTED BY OTHERS, OR BE THE ONE COMFORTING OTHERS?
