Why You Shouldn't Let SPM Results Affect You.

I know some of you took your SPM results a few days ago and I hope you have scored with the results that you have aimed for. Congratulations to those who score with flying colours and to those who did not score so well, chin up.

I had breakfast with a good friend of mine today and he was telling me how depress his cousins were by scoring 3 As and 5As. And it inspired me to write this post today. 

I was a school dropout, because I could not take the mental bully I had in school. I quit during July 2012 and went back later on to sit for my examinations. Hell, I did not even went for my trials. 

This is my SPM results.  

You might have B's and C's or even D's, I have a G and TH (Tidak Hadir). Who's worst? 

 I am not encouraging you to withdraw out of school. If I were me today, I would stay in school and show those people who mean nothing to me that I could be strong. Apparently on the other hand, I did not regret my decision because I was much happier and I started enjoying studying much more on my own because there were no distractions. 

My point here is, even if you score all credits, it is fine. You gave your incomparable effort, burning the midnight oil and whatnot. If you are talking about losing scholarship, colleges offer them too. Frankly, it is really not as bad as you think it is. 

I am doing great in college now, my CGPA now is between 3.25 to 3.5. I am attending my classes, I have learn to pick friends who matter to me and just shut out all the unimportant things. I am getting myself involved in events and whatnot. And guess what? I enroll myself in college at the age of 18 and I am graduating soon from Diploma and I have never been happier. 

That piece of paper does not have the power over you. You have the power over whatever you want to do next. If dropouts can be Billionaires , what more can someone with certs and the hunger to strive for more do? 

The question is, what do you think?

Cause a simple thought can change the world.

I believe in you, you need to believe in yourself. 

Till then, much love.
