but so n so.....
whether u r 1st or 2nd....
whether it is public u or private u...
in the end performance during work is the whole key...
after all, a 2nd upper from public U still can outperform any 1st from private U/college if put in the right attitude of work....and work hard for it

trust me....having the right attitude is the main thing...
although u might not hav a great head start (better pay..or wat)
but in the process....if u willing to learn, to work
u can outshine the others....bcoz u r showing more value per buck$ to the employer than others.....

it is sort like a race too....one who get ahead tend to be a bit ego...then lack of push...the one behind pushing hard hoping to overtake the one in front....

when i was in U, i jz an 2nd upper...i noticed 1 of my 1st class mate is actually having a less impressive STP result than mine...(some1 must realise it is hard earn chance...so work damn hard....)

when me in my work now...i m from public U, compared to most of the newbis of my batch which is from private U/Col(namely UNITEN/APIIT)
mine really less impressive...so bcome my turn now to push ahead....
end up now i do get better scoring in performance factor compared to few(not all probably...its P&C la...but gossip a bit still can knw slightly ma)

jz don feel ego....grab every chance u can improve urself....
