random classmate(RC): hey how did you do for O levels?
Me: good, im super happy with my results.
RC: really? 6 ar?
Me: yah, you also rite?
RC: yah.
Me: congrats, how many A1s?
RC: (insert number 8 or 9)
Me: WAH!
yah, and that was the pre-morning assembly conversation with random classmate. haha. but im fine, im not comparing and thinking how stupid i am compared with these people. but im NOT stupid k. 7A1s in anyone's book is a good result. (unless you're some crazed nut who stakes your entire life on academic acheivements. in which case all i can say is that i feel sorry for you.)
i've come to a certain enlightentment that if i am to stay in RJ, i will not compare myself with other people. because i will only start feeling depressed because there is no way i can excel in everything. it's ok if i cant kick a football for nuts or solve a maths question with blistering speed and accuracy or lead a group with charisma and fortitude. it doesnt really matter to me whether i am the best there is to be, but it does for me to be the best i can be. corny but oh, so true. i guess im past caring about beating others, coz i have nothing in particular to prove. i just want to beat myself and keep doing stuff that surprises even me. haha. so while i do not know if i am ready for the rough and tumble of RJ life, but at least im arming myself with the right attitude and if God is for me, who can be against me?
there is a maths test tml. i dont really care if i fail or not, but i shall at least try to study for it.
wish me all the best.
But i trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me.
