excellence

i just couldn't figure out why people strive to have grades of 90 and above or just a grade which isn't below average or just passed. i know they have their reasons, but as for me, i just don't have one. i'm contented with a passing grade or an average grade cause i just don't see the point in getting a really high or good grade. yeah i know it may feel or look good, but i just don't want to overexert myself through studying. my mom is like pushing me to get a high grade of 85 and above. i just don't get it, it doesn't make sense to me that is why i don't strive for higher grades, and unless someone can give me a pretty good and reasonable reason to strive, i probably won't until that happens.

WELL, I'm one of the people who strive for HIGH grades. Why? It's because my parents have high expectations of me. Maybe it's my nature to be so kiss-ass with them, ORRR it's because it's my way of paying them the "utang na loob". However, there are times that I really reach my limits (like getting a fucking 1.0 in ALGEB last last term), and they don't fucking understand that I really suck at Math.


Anyways, my point is that I strive tog et high grades because I don't want to let down people who are important to me. Maybe it's senseless for some people (like you lol), but it's valuable to me. The value of my action is what counts here. As my prof is psychology always says, "What's valuable to me may not be valuable to you."

Same goes to everyone.

And ONE MORE REASON IS THAT I AM STUDYING FOR FREE AND FREE EDUCATION REQUIRES HIGH GRADES. ._.

But hey...why strive when you couldn't do it? If your parents push you and push you, tell them off.

"I CAN'T DO IT, YOU JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT!"

BUTBUTBUT if you CAN do it, why not? You have your reasons. To end this, le'me just say...pahalagahan mo kung anong mahalaga sayo. Everything is to you subjectivity.

thx hime, i just wanted to know others perception about this, "What's valuable to me may not be valuable to you." = that is called perception. heh! di naman mahalaga para skin makakuha ng mataas na grade. pero its not that i can't. its just that i'm too lazy but i can if i want to. i just dont want to /heh

Then stand by what's valuable.
Pare, you make your own rules. But in the process, siguraduhin mong wala kang matatamaang mahalaga rin para sa ibang tao. :]
