Employers in the industry do not just look at academic results, they look at what you are, how you are. What defines you. How can a person like you contribute to their company. What is your potential? Are you trainable ?
A person with excellent academic results shows that he can study and do well which means he can serve the company well. A hardworking type.
A person with excellent CCA results shows that he’s passionate in what he does. If the job is his passion, you expect him to go far in it. And he has gone through many things that perhaps cannot be learnt from a classroom.
A person with excellent and strong character shows his potential to lead. With right training and upbringing, he can steer your company to a new level. (I identified as people with high IQs as they need to have a certain level of intelligence to have a strong character)
In my honest perspective,
If you only possess 1, it’s hard for you to be a well-paid worker.
If you possess 2 of the above, you are just like many others… Well-paid but still..
If you possess all of the above, you are the cream of the crop. You have a bright future ahead of you.
I had a friend, at least not on Facebook anymore. He only possess one, which is the study type. Being a friend, I’ve encouraged him to try to do well in at least one more (CCA) or at least do well in a passion that he likes. At least at his age, he will be able to experience more things before he sets out for the working world.
He stressed on his problems, I suggested solutions, he didn’t bother, no results, it’s okay for me.
He stressed to me how the working world to him is (at least to me, he is imagining how it is to be) and how much results matters and he thought ONLY results matters. Maybe 30 years ago, a good result in school will guarantee you a well-paid job. But now, it doesn’t. Simply because we all know there are more we can ask of from a employee to contribute to a company. Not just results, need to be of good character, well being and also passionate.
I tried talking to him more than 10 times about this issue. I’ve used ‘soft’ methods and ‘hard’ methods but both didn’t work.
He is stubborn, closed-minded, pervert and childish. I’ve tried to influence him as a friend for a greater good but I failed. Maybe that’s how he is and I should just let him be.
I’ll wait for ten years down the road. What kind of job he is having and his lifestyle, compared to my friends with at least 2 of those qualities.
For many things I voiced out do not receive positive reception because it’s often harsh, straight, to the point and truthful. I think that’s the reason why I’m not Mr. Popular.
I don’t need or want to be one, I just want to be neutral, someone that doesn’t have to be liked or disliked. It has came to my realization that not every is open-minded. Not everyone cares about what people advise them or say. People like to hear good things about themselves from before they hear bad things about themselves from the same people after they have so called “trusted” them. That’s why my approach don’t work, reason being, I go straight to the point too fast because I refuse to waste time to wait till the right time to tell the person because I believe a true friend will be truthful enough to say things they spot as soon as they can. However, people don’t see things this way, they see me as just another egoistic person showing off his knowledge. No, I have no intention of doing that or whatsoever, it’s just that I care. You may be my worst hated person, but if you ever came to need my help, I don’t think I’ll reject and will do the best I can. This is me, I remember everything you have done to me, but I don’t hold grudges to harm you back. I voice out because I care about certain issues and also to clarify my doubts and knowledge, not to show anyone I’m smarter or what.
I rather have friends that will share with me their thoughts than people that keep a closed-minded concept in their mind. Reason being : less conflicts will occur.
I love to share about things it’s because I feel that knowledge is meant to be shared and not kept in one’s mind only. I mean knowledge as in knowledge, not knowledge of private matters.
I have friends that understand me and I appreciate them a lot, even if some that I don’t contact as much now, they still understand how I am. I mean no harm, this is just a few paragraphs to reach out to people with misconceptions of me.
As much as I try to change myself to be more accommodating (in the sense of picking the right time to say some stuffs and using the more “smoothing the ears” language), I hope you guys understand my real intention.
I don’t like to put a facade in front of me and I hope I don’t have to put it on to anyone. I am as truthful as I can be. I’m very tired to put on a facade, ( I put it on before, yes it pleased people, but I was very unhappy because I felt fake)
And also to people who have heard whatsoever rumors, good or bad, I hope you would clarify with me instead of just speculating that it is the truth. Reason being: you wouldn’t want to be misunderstood too, hence you should not misunderstand people too!
No matter who you are, I welcome you to my circle and question me, clarify your doubts and build on a bond I hope to have with As much people as I can:)

Ask yourself. What Is your true self?
Using slangs/short forms/alternative words(that had a complete different meaning) that people don’t understand doesn’t makes you cooler. It just makes you look like an idiot.
