First of all I would like to congratulate those who get high distinction in SPM. Your hardwork is already paid, and get this, what you gave before is what are you getting now. And for those with an average result, or maybe less than what you satisfied (or your parents satisfied), cry no more because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. In other words, move on boys.
So whats next? College? University? Working? Not Working? Holiday? Well that is pretty though. But as for me, I decided long before my actual result out. Why? Because I know what I want. Boys, listen up. You must know what you want. Sitting down and thinking what to do next is crucial but too much? you gonna need help from your parents. And please, never listen to your friends. Yes you do need advice from friends but hey, here is what you should know: THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
What does it mean by knowing what you want? It means you can see yourself 5 years from now or maybe 10 years from now. Why? Because what you decide today after SPM will define who you are in the next 5 years. Let me tell you little bit about myself. Back when I was 17, I wanted to be a doctor. Yes sir, a DOCTOR. But, I had trouble scoring in biology, chemistry and..... physics. I am not saying I'm giving up early but I did tried my best during the exam before SPM when I realize, if I still wanted to be a doctor and later on I realize, I can't and give up. I'm gonna had a hard time in future. But I notice, my passion isn't there.
So basically, how do I end up as an Accountant? I love corporate world. I love making tough decision, making analysis and most important I love making money. So I begin to think so what course shall I take? And I start doing research and found out that Accounting is the key to successful business. "You don't need accountant" said every failed businessman/woman. Then I begin to search the best university that is when I found out about Taylor's University. Long story short, I enrolled end of December. Yes you read it. I decide before even I sit for SPM. Why? Because I can't see myself as a doctor, but I can see myself sitting behind computer all day, attend meeting, doing analysis.
So my point is, right now, you have to know what you want. Do what you want, be who you want to be. Do not enrolled to matriculation just because everybody does that. Do not enrolled to college just because your parents wants to see you 4 years from now holding a degree with a RM21,000.00 debt (or more). Ask this to yourself, where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Anyway, I want to congratulate my brother for straight A's. And this post is to remind all of you out there, you should not be afraid of what people think about you. Good day!
