The First Wave...
Lol the attack of the homework...Each teacher claims to give very little homework (averaging 2 pieces of assignment each)...but u see...9 x 2...18 pieces of assignment to complete this weekend...i have to do 9 per day!!
Interesting concepts i learnt these past few days...I find that im pushing myself a lot harder this year...mainly due to my class teacher's quote "Nothing will be done, if you wait till u could do it so well, that no one can fault you with it" (or something like that lar)... it means that making mistakes is part of human life, if you wait till you are perfect in something before you start on it (which sounds ridiculous), nothing will be done...
Last year, I found myself afraid of certain particular subjects, and i didnt even try improving due to myself thinking that I'll always fail...this year i realise - you try and try and you fail, you try and try and you fail again...but you only fail if you stop trying...
I then tried again...doing my best...i managed to do rather well in my subjects now...yes and i'll keep improving for the best is yet to be...
Ever heard of the Chinese Bamboo plant? you water it daily for 1 year and i doesnt grow, you water it daily for a 2nd year and nothing happens, after 4 years, nothing happens...
To the untrained eye, the person who plants it would seem like a fool...
After the 5th year, it grows 90 feet in 3 months...
A lot of the work we were going to do wouldn't see fruit for a while, people would call us stupid for putting in so much effort and yet not receiving any rewards (most likely due to other weird factors involved)...but if we keep doing it right, eventually, success will follow...
Right now, there are some dreams I'm still chasing, 4 years...nothing...(sec1 to sec4)...academically, ccas, socially, etc...so much effort, and people still ridicule me for losing out to people who have clearly put in less effort...some feel sorry for me and take pity on me wanting action to be taken...i dunno how people view me cos different ppl view me differently due to my split personality...anyway I'll tell them not to worry for the fruits of my labour would be inevitable, despite it a painstakingly long process...
