Well, my exam results came out yesterday. Having a short period of frustration trying to get into the ITE portal to see the results for the first time in my ITE life. Being nervous and having my expectations weighing on my shoulders, I waited somewhat patient till I got to the website that showed the grades for my year-end exam.
I read the grades for each module carefully. When I read a letter B for Costing, my heart was struggling to whether to cry or smile, filled with relief. I ended up crying because I didn't score what I wanted. An A grade was what I aimed for.
Did I really set my expectations too highly??? But according to what my papa has always taught me since young, to set my goals high. Looking back, I had to agree with Miss Choo, that putting your best efforts is better than trying hard to achieve what you want because getting disappointed in the end due to not getting what you want isn't good. Trying hard to get what you want can actually put you under a lot of pressure. I literally patted myself for working the hardest and putting a lot of efforts in preparing for the exam and during the exam. Hard work and determination have really paid off. (:
I remembered sending a thank-you sms to Miss Choo, telling her my grade, together with thanks. She sent me back saying that she's proud of me and that my efforts is commendable. (': But there's a quote in her sms that touched my heart. The quote is "Bad attitude is the only disability in life".
Throughout my ITE life, I learn that once you lose focus, it's goodbye! I really regret not having the right amount of focus in my first year of ITE. Otherwise, I'd have gotten better GPA! But I shalln't have any regrets in life. Every trial comes with a lesson in the end. It was my first time not having the right area of focus so it really hit me hard that having the right focus is crucial.
Some quotes I'd like to share with you before I come to an end:
"Failure is success if we learn from it" - Malcolm Forbes
"Failure is the mother of success".
Till then, ciaooo!
