Hi boys and girls. I know yesterdaywas
the result release day for HKCEE, and I know many of you are this year's
HKCEE candidates. Just wanna share with you some of my random thoughts.
It's been so long since my cert exam - i took it back in 1995. Just
like all of you I thought this exam was the only thing I was living for
and my cert result will determine what I will do for the rest of my
life. Anyways, I did well in it, so I thought things will be very easy.
Then I nearly flunked F.6. and I realized I couldn't survive A-Levels so
I went to the states for college... Anyways, my point is, like I always
tell people who are younger than I, that HKCEE is only a very tiny
stage of our lives and whether you do good in it or not really does not
affect your future as much as you think. This sounds cliche but I guess
it's the best way to put it, and coming from my own personal experience
it really is true. When you grow older and start working you'll know
your HKCEE results really means nothing. I'm not saying that you
shouldn't take this exam seriously - everyone should be serious in
whatever they're doing/studying - but just don't take it too seriously.
Aceing exams is one thing, and growing intellectually is totally another
thing and I never believe that doing exams contribute to intellectual
development. (Haha i got a B in HKCEE econ but now I can't even
understand half of what's written in the newspaper's business page
haha).So I think it's more important to keep challenging yourselves with
different things to read, see and hear. If you flunked cert, don't get
too upset. If you did well, don't get too happy.
Pong
