PSLE Results!

Finally, the much awaited results were out after so much heated discussion on the PSLE Mathematics Papers. Every time, when results of any kind were released/announced, there bound to be people who weep. For both happiness & joy or sadness & disappointment.

Living in a large family like ours, comparisons are inevitable. However, one should not take them too seriously. As long as we believed that we have done our best, that's all it matters.

One point that we can never emphasize enough, "GRADES ARE NOT EVERYTHING!". An 'A' doesn't guarantee that you would be a successful person in the future & neither does a 'F' determines that you would be a failure all your life.

Some of you have probably read about a girl in M'sia who hanged herself when she did not receive the grades she wanted. Isn't that saddening? If only someone has make her understand that whatever things we failed or do badly in life, we can always try again. However, after ending our life, we can never re-live our lives.

I'm lucky that I grow up with my parents telling me, "Just give your very best." & not, "As should be what you need to aim for!". Of course, when we become parents, we want our kids to be the best that they could. However, do grades truly signify how great we are? Maybe we should really re-mould our thinking & prevent more tragedies from happening.
