July's Topic

I am short of ideas of what our next topics would be. Maybe you pen your own thought of topics you'd like to be discussed in our blog. THose whose topics are selected would get a special prize.

Okay! We welcome your new ideas!

May's Winner

Hmmm...the topic for May didn't receive many participation from you folks out there. I wonder why.

Well, I did my sharing during the NE lecture about studying skills. THat's my way of studying. But I have honestly truly did a real form of studying when I was in Junior College. There was so much to learn at that time and working at the last minute will never work. So I really had to organise my time wisely and plan my schedules. I also didn't do very well during my Preliminary examination and that triggered me to work harder.

I think there are three types of people in this world. Those who are born smart. They are the geniuses in this world who do not need to spend their time studying because everything that they read will be at the tip of their fingers and recalling facts is as easy as reciting the ABC.

The second group are those who are smart only because they work at being smart. I fall into this group and many of you are. You'll need to work to be smart. There is never really 'I do not need to study and I have done well'. It is how much you have retained what you learnt in class and how able are you to display that understanding. Many of us are only at least 60% attentive in class. So most of the time, we'll need to spend time revising.

The third group are those who are without the blessing of academic intelligence. I say academic because there are many other things that they can be good at but they are definitely unsuccessful in school. With hard work, this group may even grow to become successful businessmen or tycoons. They are risk takers who have nothing to lose.

Well, the bottom line is hard work and success never comes without effort. Whatever was the outcome in Semester One, there is always Semester Two and even 2009...2010..2011. Well, if you fail, pick yourself up again. A failure is not a sign that it is the end of your world. In fact it is only a sign of a new resolution to improve oneself towards betterment.

Thank you Hui Ying for sharing your very down to earth and effective approach to studying. YOU are the winner for the month of May!
