I remember that I once attended a counseling course, the speaker mentioned about a syndrome that some people have, especially those who were successful in one stage of their life, they remain in that stage and refuse to grow. For example: A Miss Universe, a sportsman, a student who scored full As... they lived in the past, their glorious year, they complain about their present and they cannot take their present failure, their present shape, that’s why some famous people kill themselves.

I hope this does not happen to my students, you are still young, of course you had a good time during your secondary school years, your good achievement, your good buddies,… but now that you are in a new school, meeting new friends, are facing a new stpm, do look at things in a more mature manner, be part of your present, be involved,… If you have achieved good results during your SPM (where most of you have), make sure you keep improving yourselves in STPM, then your higher education, your career, your life.

If you complain now, the chances are you will complain about your university, your workplace, your country, your husband/wife, your life, we don’t want that to happen because you are our future generation. Let put it this way: Ask yourself what you can contribute first before what you can get…

In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better you just need to look at life from another direction and appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.
