Academic Success and Life Success

-

 When students, parents come to see me, they always ask to discuss about their kids progress academically. This usually happens after the Mid-Semester Exam and sometimes after Final Exam. When their kids make progress there are no further questions but when their kids make no progress, they are worried about it. Most parents always see good grades in exams leads to successful life in the future.

Teachers see it in different ways, they are aware that exam is only one of the tools to measure students’ understanding towards the lessons taught during certain period. Success in exam does not determine a person’s success in life.

Success in exams can provide a foundation for life success by boosting confidence and opening doors to higher education and certain careers, but it's not a guarantee, as life success also depends on critical life skills like resilience, adaptability, passion, and emotional intelligence. While academic achievement correlates with some positive life outcomes, other factors such as personality, perseverance, networking, and luck significantly influence long-term success.

How Academic Success Can Influence Life Success

1.       Achieving educational goals builds a sense of pride and self-efficacy, which can transfer to tackling other life challenges and aspirations.

2.       Good exam results can be a crucial stepping stone for entering higher education and securing initial employment opportunities.

3.       The process of studying for exams can foster skills like knowledge evaluation, perseverance, and time management, which are valuable in various aspects of life.

4.       Education helps individuals learn to structure arguments, work in teams, and apply knowledge to new scenarios, contributing to overall personal development.

Academic Success is not the only Determinant of Life Success. Other Determinant of life success

1.       Critical Life Skills, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, communication, and adaptability.

2.       A person’s qualities like hard work, risk-taking, perseverance, and passion are fundamental to long-term success, regardless of academic performance.

Individual talent helps in success. But it must be combined with other factors like hard work, perseverance, a strong work ethic, and the right mindset to truly lead to sustained success. A focus on exams can overlook a child's unique talents in other areas, like art, dance, or writing, that are vital for their own fulfilment and success.

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE FIVE TIMES WITH THE SAME WOMAN

-
It’s been 23 years since I proposed you in the hand of marriage.  Time flies and we can’t feel it. We have two grown up kids who have their own activities. We go back to the time when there were only two of us. That was the time that I never forget. We had met six years before I proposed you. I stopped by at my friend’s house, Batoro. You attracted my attention; I did not want to wait until the next day. I was quite sure with my vision. Yes, you are the one. I told you that I liked you and wanted to be your boyfriends. You did not answer immediately but I know it was ‘YES’ and I did not have to ask you twice. We went through a lot of challenges since then. You never complained whatever situation we were in. My motor cycle broke down so we had to push it a long Jl. Margonda. I did not have enough money to buy drink for both of us in Bogor so I bought only a bottle of teh botol. Even I did not have the money to buy the tickets to enter Botanical Garden. You did not complain. Y...

POLIGAMI

Sudah menjadi kewajiban bagi ummat Islam untuk mengikuti ajaran Nabi Muhammad SAW. Beliau memberikan tuntunan hidup yang lengkap untuk kita dalam menjalani kehidupan ini. Sampai hal-hal terkecil, seperti adab ke toilet, bolehkah kita berbicara di dalam toilet dan masih banyak lagi yang lainnya. Tapi yang sering kita lihat dan tampak dalam kehidupan sehari-hari adalah ‘poligami’. Banyak kaum laki-laki ummat islam selalu mengatakan ‘sunnah Rasul’. Ya benar, memang Agama Islam mengizinkan kaum Adam untuk memiliki istri maksimal empat. Tapi mereka harus memenuhi syarat-syarat yang diminta. Mampukah kaum Adam? Selalu jawabannya MAMPU. Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya menyaksikan acara di televisi, ada seorang laki-laki memiliki tiga orang istri dan mereka rukun-rukun saja. Banyak juga dari laki-laki lain yang berkomentar ‘beruntung sekali laki-laki tersebut’ atau ‘andaikan istriku mengizinkan aku untuk memiliki istri satu lagi’. Banyak kaum Adam yang ingin memiliki istri lebih dari satu d...

PERUBAHAN

I’moving through some changes I’ll never be the same (YES) Tak ada yang abadi di atas muka bumi ini. Segala sesuatu mengalami perubahan, termasuk manusia. Perubahan tidak mengenal ras, status ataupun agama. Sebagai manusia kita harus selalu mampu menghadapi perubahan yang terjadi pada kita atau pada lingkungan kita. Sebagian besar dari kita sudah mengalami  beberapa phase perubahan, paling tidak yang sangat sederhana saja yaitu; Perubahan lingkungan sekolah dari SD ke SMP dan seterusnya. Perubahan status dari lajang menjadi menikah dan seterusnya. Pada awalnya memang berat akan tetapi seiring dengan waktu kita mampu menghadapi semua itu asalkan kita yakin bahwa Allah selalu bersama kita orang-orang yang sabar. Pada awal lahirnya ojek on-line, begitu banyak banyak para tukang ojek konvensional yang menentang kehadiran ojek on-line ini. Apakah mereka berhasil? Lihat saja apa yang terjadi saat ini. Dimana-mana kita lihat ojek on-line lalu lalang di sekitar kita. Bagaimana...
