mugging

these thoughts just cross my mind when i was on my mind walking back to biz library to resume studying...

for the past 2 weekends, people have been flocking to the various study hotspots all over NUS to study for the finals. at least hundreds and i am sure of that number. the only thing one their is to mug. pinning their hope that through mugging, it will bring the best out of their academic result. however, i don't believe studying and results are proved to be positively related for sure somehow. if you study 100 hours and the another guy who did 20 hours, you might not necessarily outscore him. it doesn't work that way and we all know it. a stroke of luck and genius on the actual day play a greater role for sure.

if you really study hard, then the more you sure get a good CAP score to reflect it. no one will know how much effort you put in if your result doesn't qualify you for the honors. that's the cold hard  practical fact of the society. the only way for people to recognize your effort that you have put in throughout the uni is to show it in your CAP score.

no one gives a damn if u can't do well academically. so what if you excel in your sports, the head of some 20 man committee or what so ever, no result now will mean no dreams for the future.

as i continue to watch people mug their life out, i wonder who will the stepping stone for others to their greater future. there's bound to be losers and winners. no one hates losing but someone gonna lose. it is just the cold fact..

sometimes, i wish that everyone is a winner... no losers in this world.
