Lose Sight...

More often than not, we lose sight of what's more important than a few alphabets in which we think will determine how we live in the future. What is the point of education if in the end, what we care most is the grade?

Every year for the past few years (without fail), I saw students cried and laughed, disappointed or worse, attempted to commit suicide. If one comes out knowing nothing practical and without soft-skills but is armed with a list of As, I assure you, one still goes nowhere. Take education as education and not a checklist of how many As one gets. It's unhealthy.

Of course, I congratulate those with big achievements. They deserved it. To those that didn't fair so well, why cry? I've seen graduates with a perfect CGPA but alas, when tested on general knowledge and skills, they were no better than airheads. On the contrary, candidates with average results were much better in terms of general knowledge and skills. In general, maybe what I'm trying to say is getting As is no big deal when you can't carry them well.

Parents beware of what you're instilling in your children. Don't screw them up with you think is ideal. It's nonsense...
