Just talked to one ex-sheep about o'level results..
O'levels consititue of only 6% of our lives, that is if you live till 70 years old. This percentage depends on how long you live. If you a bit 'duan ming' probably percentage will be higher..
I think that our results are a mixture of our abilities, our efforts and our dependance on God. Our results may be a combination of any three.. maybe all three, may be two of the three, or simply just on one factor.
For those who never do as well as you predicted or wish..
It could be because you are simply lazy - so don't blame cambridge or your mother's cooking. Just take responsibility of your laziness and snap out of your self-denial.
If you have worked hard and didn't do so well, perhaps God wants to protect you from certain path that you have decided (without Him) to take [Priscilla Tan can testify on this area]..
Or perhaps, God wants you to experience His power and be the star witness of His blessings and goodness.
For those of you who do well, keep on doing well and don't go ya ya papaya. Your success may become your stumbling block. You have success once doesn't mean it's with you forever, it is so with character as well :)
I always believe that those who trust in the Lord will end in victory. Anyway, who determines who is successful and victorious in the final hour.. It's God, not us. Perhaps for us Christians, we should look into God's word now and determine for ourselves what is important and slog our lives for it, cause that is what we will get rewarded for. Yeah.. because we only got one life to do it.. if you waste it on irrelevant things, then it's your boo boo..
Finally, whether we go heaven or not, it is actually decided by us - whether we choose to meet God's criteria.. haha.. cause it is His house that you want to enter in. No one can blame God for not letting him/her into His house because we are the ones who choose to not enter. If you choose to enter, we'll meet in heaven.. yea!! If you choose not, then probably we will never meet again once you or I (whoever faster) leaves earth.
I tot it was going to be a short blogging.. haha.. i'm at this for more than half an hour.. thinking and typing..
Just before i go.. For those who are still studying..
Don't worry if you didn't do so well in your exams, your exam results won't be engraved on your tombstone.
Even if you do well, you won't want to have this engraved on your tombstone - "Some one who has been a great examination candidate in his(her) life time. RIP."
