Do you think people with straight A or very good result very proud? Normally Auntie will show off their friend tellin others that their daughther / son get good result. But for me i think there is 2 reasons that can prove you're really studying or just memorising?
Usually secondary school are more into memorising than using common sence, tend they will memorise and put it all into the exam paper. Whereas after college life, they tend to use their brains.. ermm.. But after all study til the end of the day, how many people will ensure they get a good job with a better pay?
Afterall, i think studyin is just a part of ours lives of gaining extra knowledge, but in the end of the day, How many of the Straight A's student will bcome a millionaire or somethin.. for example, bill gates he didnt study and he was naughty during his childhood. but today.. what is him now?
Getting Straight A so WHAT? I think should explain this to those auntie..

If these straight A's students cant get far, what makes you think that you can get further than them? Wouldnt getting straight A's be a measure of good qualities as well i.e hardworking, diligent, knows how to aim high. Arent these qualities needed to succeed in life? If you want to succeed, what is stopping you from working hard to achieve good academic results? What is the loss in getting straight A's? Unless you fill up your time finding other ways to improve yourself, then it just shows that you're more lazy compared to them.
It is not only a matter of gaining knowledge. Its to build character.
Btw, I didnt score straight A's. I just feel that these people who didnt score straight A's and whine about those who did are making excuses for themselves. They wouldn't be saying the same thing if they did
