And think. And live. And adapt to life. And react to your surroundings. I’m not against these people scoring/targetting many As.

It might be for self satisfaction/challenging.

But what matters most is when you work. And think. And live. And adapt to life. And react to your surroundings.

It's like challange beat the Guinness Records.... LOL<br/><br/>Entahla kenapa... student with 7 to 9A's macam dah terpinggir sikit.. because the media are more focused on student who had archieved like 10 to 19As .... <br/><br/>Honestly many parents were bit uncomfortable when their children participate more in co-curriculum. The parents always stressed that "co-curriculum will NEVER help on their children success" ... Hence parents selalu keberatan nak bayar yuran badan beruniform or other club (it's happend to me.. i've to save some money and pay it for myself) ... <br/><br/>I think Univ. should raised the "enrollment ratings" for co-curriculum greds.. 10% is not enough... kalau tak 'paksa' macamana student nak didedahkan kelebihan co-curriculum kan???<br/><br/>Honestly i prefer Amalina's ways of life... She knows how to have fun with her life... bukan menjadi seorang yang NERD senantiasa...<br/><br/>Have a nice day everyone Hi everyone… hampir terlupa nak view balik this topic.. by the way i’m mostly agree that there are “competition” to beat Amalina’s records… It’s like challange beat the Guinness Records….

Entahla kenapa… student with 7 to 9A’s macam dah terpinggir sikit.. because the media are more focused on student who had archieved like 10 to 19As ….

Honestly many parents were bit uncomfortable when their children participate more in co-curriculum. The parents always stressed that “co-curriculum will NEVER help on their children success” … Hence parents selalu keberatan nak bayar yuran badan beruniform or other club (it’s happend to me.. i’ve to save some money and pay it for myself) …

I think Univ. should raised the “enrollment ratings” for co-curriculum greds.. 10% is not enough… kalau tak ‘paksa’ macamana student nak didedahkan kelebihan co-curriculum kan???

Honestly i prefer Amalina’s ways of life… She knows how to have fun with her life… bukan menjadi seorang yang NERD senantiasa…

Have a nice day everyone

These bright students are aiming to be the best on paper. I'm afraid these students would miss lots of things in life such as being versatile in socialising, mastering related soft skills, having a sense of independence, travelling (backpacking) with some inquistive minds, involving in interculturalisation and learning from others' adversity. To measure success at SPM's stage, in my opinion, is pretty much premature. I think, success is a subjective yardstick. I wonder how Bill Gates, a Harvard drop out could smartly dominate the world via Microsoft - he does not get many As, I assume. I wonder how Donald Trump, who did not do well in high school and university is a millionaire now. Thinking about it, I have come into my own conclusion that it's all about knowing what you want to achieve in life. By the way, does by having string of As guarantee a balanced life later on? a hard question to be answered in many forms. Kevin, I think achieveing string of As is now an obsession amongst students.
