LIKE A FRIDAY SERMON

Dear students,

D days are approaching at a rate of a blinding speed that takes those with tough sinew and mind to mount lethal attacks and deflect the intagible invading enemies. Why did i put that much hype to the so called PMR examination! I don't want to string words of logic to make you all understand it! just ask your seniors who are now in form four.

Ask them how did they feel the moment they took their PMR's result? jubilant?over the moon? excited? or otherwise? or deflated? dissappointed?how many of them feel contented with their result? how many of them said that they have worked hard enough but it proved their efforts were in vain? ask them to what scale have they ruined their parents' heart full with expectation only to know their sons or daughters scored strings of Ds and Bs and one of two As which could not get them anywhere. Ask and you will be answered!

I am pretty sure most of them will say PMR is not that tough , all you have to do is study hard , the harder the better and there is no short cut. We still have almost 80 days to go, and never think of cheating during the exam as this will motivate you to become lazier than ever! and to be a man you have to be true to yourself! make your result yours not half or quarter of you. Your result will last a lifetime and remain intact in your personal file.

Cheaters may win many times before they lose, but they definitely end up a loser until or unless they repent of their past wrongdoings. You all with your existing knowledge and information in store feel less confident to make it in the exam. Come on, believe in yourself, no matter how insignificant or trivial your result is so long it is truly yours, in fact it matters you more than anything else on earth.

To end this musing, i would like to share what Socratos once said. 'To Yourself Be True!' and I am glad to put it this way 'Neither a cheater nor a cheater helper be as you might lose your life most important principle'. They name it HONESTY and it is arguably the best policy.


Sir
