remember that

During Chinese lesson today our teacher shared something really meaningful to us (or at least the handful of pupils who were good enough to be paying attention). She was really fed up with our attitude towards Chinese and thought something had to be done about it.

She asked us why was it that the 'O' Level (the recent one?) top scorer came from another country and why he/she managed to get such good grades despite having studied in Singapore for only a few years.

She said that nobody was born intelligent or stupid.
If one had to judge another by what they do and label themselves stupid when they feel intimidated, then we might as well give up studying altogether.

The reason why these people do well is because they know how to plan their time properly.
Everybody's given 24 hours a day, and we're all equally busy.
Besides, being busy is just an excuse to make us feel better about time lost.

In between periods we can catch up on our work and slowly, bit by bit, we'll be able to make up for the time lost from slacking.



P/S;
My short-term memory has caused some parts of it to be forgotten. SAD.
And I'm lazy to edit this post.
It's hard work trying to translate Chinese to English, you know? Especially when neither of my languages are good... Speaking of languages, READ BOOKS!!! The power of books! HEHE XD
