Book Smart

So recently, there's been a post circulating around all the schools. Especially the selective schools. Why? Because some one (who's names I've figured out, hahahaha i feel quite stalkerish) has posted on facebook quite a controversial post. I'll let you decide for yourselves what you think.

Any way. Regardless of how rude the post may or may not be, I have to admit that it is true that the HSC is more based on memory than hard work and talent. Which is why, it isn't a accurate measure of how smart a person is.However, for you to be able to ace the exam after flickering through the textbook for 20 mins means you have talent and you worked hard. But it's unfair to say that people who are not in selective schools are not as smart as those in selective schools. Being smart isn't only measured by academics. what's the point of being smart if you can't relate to other people. Sure, you can hold a desk job where you don't have to speak with customers, but you still have coworkers.

Either way, good luck to all the HSC students this year. HSC isn't everything. You can be successful regardless of how well you did in a few exams.

Success is not enough, others must fail. That is such a horrible phrase. Nothing great can be achieved alone. Test me. Tell me something and I'll tell you why it can't be achieved alone.

Those who are privileged should be those who are the most humble.
