UPSR-PMR-SPM-DIPLOMA-DEGREE-MASTER-PHD .... it is just another exam!

It's that time again!

Is it true that if your child got straight A's in their UPSR 5A, PMR 9A, SPM 17A ... does it really promise success in their future life? Scenario menilai results peperiksaan besar semakin menjadi-jadi di Malaysia kini, secara tak langsung meletakkan harapan, kerisauan dan BEBANAN yang amat tinggi kepada anak-anak zaman kini.

For me, we as parents surely want our children to succeed in their life. But we must realize, that these are their life and not ours. Do not mold their successes based on our dreams (or past nightmares!), let them succeed based on their dreams, goals, ability, creativity and gifts by Allah!

Lead them to the correct path based on our experiences, and not force them! Teach them how to think and how to make the choices ! Do not despair if they make the wrong choices, because it's not a failure ... but a process of learning ... learn not to make the wrong decision again! Not to fall at the same hole twice! Be supportive!

Chill out parents! If your child do not get straight A's. Do not be sad, but praise to Allah for what He has given to us. Allah knows best!  Be proud parents, regardless of what they achieve in their examinations.

Remember, this is just another exam ! It is not the end of the world if your child do not get any A's. The road to success is still far ahead! Learn from the past mistakes, look up and aim high!

For me as a parent, I will only emphasize on getting A's (80% and above) ... regardless of what number they will gain in their classes. If they can score top 10 in their classes, then it's a bonus for them. If not, so what ... they are all winners in their own way!  I'm proud of each and one of them ... what ever results they gain! Now and forever! Just try ur best, berdoa dan bertawakkal! Allah knows best for u!
