University life has been overwhelming thus far. Ceaseless readings seem to be a plethora to be printed and read. A week of recess break is a welcome relief but it also means time to catch up whatever is lagging.
Final year exams are around the corner for my 3 boys. That means extra lessons to be held for them respectively next week. I really hope they will do well. I have always make it clear to my students that I have certain expectations on each and every one of them. It's like the process of building a magnificent tower. We need to have a good solid foundation in order to support the weight of extra materials being piled up as we go higher and higher. I am there to guide but ultimately , it all depends on individual. This is because I can provide the tools and construction materials , but it also needs a pair of hands that is willing to plough in the hard work. It always take two hands to clap. Their results not only reflect on their ability to grasp that particular subject but also as a gauge of my teaching capabilities. Though people always said that results are secondary , what matters most is the process. However , I beg to differ. To me , this is just a way of comforting yourself. Reality is , at the end of the day , the significance of results supercede the rest of everything.
I feel sad today which indubitably is a renascent state of emotion. Can't believe I am still susceptible to things beyond my control. There are a lot of enigmatic matters that cannot be comprehended.
Am I really that insignificant ? :(
Too many disappointments and obstacles to face in life. I better get a grip on myself . No matter what , the world still continues to spin.
