Rules from Bill Gates
Hi Everyone,
I would like to share the rules of life from Bill Gates who spoke to some high school students recently. Ponder on these rules and you will realise that they are very truthful and sensible.
Here they are:
Rule 1 :Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self -esteem. The world would expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60 000 right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping : they called it opportunity.
Rule 6 : If you messed up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents were not as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear any slighest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10 : Television is not real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
10. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Hope you like them.
Regards
Mr Ong

T2 W10 Journal Writing : Reflections of SA1 Performance
Hi Everyone,
The SA1 is over. Some of us have done well while others have not. For this week, I want you to reflect on your performance in this SA1. To help you do that, I will list some questions for you to ponder over:
1. Do you think the SA1 papers have tested you fairly? If 'Yes', which papers do you consider to be a fair test? If 'No', which papers do you consider to be unfair test?
2. Why do you think the papers have been a fair or unfair test?
3. Do you think you have done well in this semester? If 'Yes', what factors contribute to your success? If 'No', what factors contribute to your poor performance?
4. Do you think the remedial or enrichment classes in school were useful? If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?
5. If you have home tuition (either by tutors/parents/relatives/etc), do you think this has been useful in improving your results? If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?
6. What actions would you take to improve on your results after SA1?
7. What actions do you think the school should take to help you with your performance after the SA1?
I hope to read your responses soon.
