18 September 2006: Good Grades=Good Life?

Good grades=Good Life in the future meh? GPA or CAP, all are just grades on paper. I get As and you get Bs, does it mean that I'll have a chauffeur driving my Mercedes and can sit back reading newspapers, while you can only drive it on your own in the future? NO!

Students slog so much for grades. Reverse their biological clocks like what the guys do for their favourite soccer matches pitching Ars, Chelski, the Black-and-White Jailbirds, Livers, and Muees. Good certificate can translate into good money, but can become good health meh? Irreversible change! What if good pay can't pay for good medical bills? No use lah.

We pollute the environment, exploiting the resources and raw materials for economic profits. Yeah, will be rich for a while, but if all used up how? All the germs and smog would be killing us then, and we can flee from Earth to either Venus for guys or Mars for gals to be blessed for eternity meh? NO! Metaphorically, Earth is our health AND happiness, and pursuing good grades is like pursuing economic benefits. What's the point?

Therefore, good grades may create blind spots for us. Never abandon the good things in life for merely good grades.

I agree that having good grades doesn't gurantee good life. But having good grades definately increases the probability that your life will be much better in the future. Even at University levels, students that fared better are INVITED for some networking session with "TOP EMPLOYEES" aka everybody's dream job lah. The rest, will not be invited.

Thus I will say having good grades give you a head start but you have to maintain that lead.

We are born to a society where elitism is very much a fact of life. So as not to be left behind, we have to STUDY HARD to join the ranks of the elites.
