Success does not just only about career, its involve the peace inside, also the wisdom of life. If you spend too much focus on your career, you may lose the chance, time and mind to consider those thing also.
Like when a student spend the whole time digging the book, he cant have enough time to hang around with friend, gain social experience and soft skills like communication, corporation, also understanding of the human kind. Worse, he might say, i dont have time for love :(.
Like a business man, spending all his effort to get to his ultimate goal, even one that may contradict ethical values. Whatever sensitiveness he build in his youth, may lost as he throwing a way his value to achieve a visual goal. The thing Im saying that, he may become less and less human.
Focusing on grade, sound very innocent huh? But what if, what if it lead to worse negative effect. What if by a simple statement, but made by the whole society, it can turn a person into that:
A heartless captain, order killing and attacking vulnerable, unarmed people, just so he gain sense of success, just to earn a few more GDP from fishing and tourism for his country? Can he understand the pain of war and the value of peace? When the world is already on its edge, when nature is giving enough punishment... Where is the HEART???
A young leader losing his sense, crazily searching for recognition, qualification for his future career then forget about the fact that there are his member needing guide, tasks assignment also. He ended up doing stupid things that nobody can forgive, base on that simple incentive that he find so reasonable: to gain success.
They have mistranslated success and mistranslated the meaning of their job!!!!!
Success is when you pushed to the ground and you have enough strength to stand up. You have enough wisdom to know the meaning of living and do not kill yourself just because you lost every physical material belonging. You have enough inspiration to live with your career, happily. You love and breath in the world every day.
It is not about making comparison and jealous, feeling inferior and upset, miserly climbing, trying, but never get satisfied. Also, it's not about being at the top and lonely, insecured of being turned down.
Wisdom of general science is so important. It make our world moving forward, more convenient, happier. But school didnt tell us that. They stuffed us with math, physics, chemics without giving us the inspration to study. Or giving a very wrong reason, to get high mark.
I love it every time I get high score, I always try to do so. Just work, and you will get a result. Other than spending time meaninglessly, Id love to do some thing I can see the result obviously. And grade,it s so motivational, the recognition for my hard work make me work harder and happier.
But even though they re happy I'm a smart kid, mom and dad never give me any kind reward :)) Not only because I was already happy enough, and they was not surprised, but I think also because they do not use grade to evaluate their child. :) Thanks mom and dad, love you.
The reason why GDP should be high, its because a government is responsible to make their people have a high living standard. The reason why a company search for your extra curriculum activities is because they want to look at you as a person rather than a student, if what you been doing is matching their job description. As a politic, you should only care about how to make people happy, not killing some to get a high number in your report. As a leader, should care about team mems and help them out. As a graduate searching for job, you just need enough passion for your career.
That's the ideal. I know the world is not as reasonable as me. But what meant to be is meant to be. I live with my value and let me be.
