Oh i thought about this last night. Haha, this might sound dumb and ironic at the same time, but i think in a way it is be true.

Those who are intelligent, are not those who do well in school, but instead first believe they are intelligent. Ironic eh? Haha. But its simple, you got to be smart enough to know that you are smart, bright, and intelligent.
It just so happens that the school, tests and whatever systems we are made to be in, tells us, and emphasis that message. So a student who fails the first time, have two perspective, one of which he will accept and believe.
  1. 1. I am a failure.
  2. 2. I failed but i will keep trying, because i know i can do it.

But sadly, the system we are in usually subtly dictate us to believe the first. So those who fail, continue failing, usually because they think they are unable to do it. Thus it becomes a mental barrier, which again ironically they set it up themselves with the help of the system they are in.

And for those who did well in the first test, would think they are good at this subject. The next time they fail, they again have two options.
  1. I failed, and i have stop doing well.
  2. I failed, but i did well before, i can do it again.
So the cycle repeats. See how dumb this system is? And i wonder if those up there ever realised that humans make comparisons. So those who are weak in that particular subject, faces three perspectives again. Once again a cycle.
  1. Simply do not care about what happened.
  2. Start sulking at how sucky they are, and be trapped in the mindset that they are a failure.
  3. Use others as a control, so they will constantly work to beat his 'opponent'.
I wonder what can we do about this. Sometimes i just wish we can take a test and not know about the results, because i think its like blind hope and expectations.
But if you do not know where are your mistakes, you would not know where are your weak points. Maybe facing the plain truth just stinks so badly.

And another observation...Not going to school, more or less may affect your English. Which i think its true, because i am an example. My English is deproving, because the computer will give me the correct spelling. So i don't exactly learn the correct spelling. Oh well this observation is subjective. So no need to argue.

Take control of the atmosphere
Take me far away from here
There is no better loss than to lose myself in you
In a parachute to glide, I am captive in your sky
Surrender has somehow become so beautiful

Its such a beautiful surrender

Move me up through the darkest clouds
Till I've lost in the sun every shadow of doubt
There is no better find than to find myself with you
In a fog you are all I see
I'm inviting you closer with each time I breathe
Surrender has somehow become so beautiful
