Do you believe in fate?

Have you told yourself before that it is fate that you did not get into a good school or did not get good grades for certain subjects? And you think that there is nothing you can do about it?

I have always believed that fate keeps people from changing their lives for the better. It removes all possibilities that one can achieve. By saying fate to your life only means that you do not wish to do something about it. It is just meant to be. If you are fated to be a genius in studies, then no matter how lazy you are and whatever you do, you will end up scoring straight 'A's for your exams. If you are fated to be a failure in studies, then you are very unlucky. No matter how how hard you work, it will all be taken away. But you know all these are not true. That's no such thing as fate cannot be changed. When you believe in fate, it means that you have absolutely no control over the outcomes in your life. For the people that went to fortune tellers to ask about their fate in life, they have 2 choices after hearing their fate:

1) To change it!
2) Live with it.

One of the causes is because they do not plan for your future path. They walk blindly and believing all the stuffs that makes them feel good. For example, people who went for driving test. Those who fail will usually say it was not their fault. They blame it on the lousy car they are in, on the heavy traffic, on the heavy rain, on the drivers on the road, on the strict tester, etc. They blame the whole galaxy except themselves! Some even resigned to fate after failing numerous times!

Is driving that hard? NO! It is because they do not learn from their mistakes. They always think they are right. I heard of rumors like: "there is a fixed number of people that can pass every month, so you must book your driving test at the start of the month to have higher chance of passing", "do not book the first session for driving test as the testers are still in sleeping mode and will get agitated easily".

What reasons are those? There is no such thing as fixed number of people passing every month and no sleeping testers! If you are really good, there is no reason to fail you!

Back to studies, I strongly believe that every student out there can achieve straight 'A's! There is no such fate that you have no talent in study! There will be a way to achieve those 'A's!

Do 1-to-1 tuition help in your studies?

How many of you have home tuition lessons?

Did your grades improve because of the tutor’s help? For some, it will improve.

If your tutors are motivating, inspiring and teaching you relevant skills to do well in studies, you had got yourself a good tutor and also a motivator.

But in some cases, you will get a tutor that you feel that, you are unable to absorb the points your tutor taught you. In this case, who is at fault?

The answer is both. Firstly, the tutor does not know how to teach and speak in the right tone to attract the student’s attention. Or because the tutor is not interested in teaching. When someone has no passion in doing something, he or she will not do a good job in doing. Also, it may be because the tutor does not have good grades in his or her education level.

Secondly, how much did you pay for that tutor? Face this truth. The amount of money you willing to pay will attract different kinds of tutors. If you paid less than S$20 per hour for a tutor, you will most likely get an average ‘A’ Level graduate or below.

This is the reality. The average rates for a school teacher are at least S$40 per hour! For JC assignments, some school teachers are paid over a hundred bucks for 1 hour of tuition!

Why parents would afford to pay so much for their child’s education? Simply because they want the best for their child. Want them to succeed in their studies.

This shows that some parents will do whatever it takes to assist their child in their education! So, you, as a student should put in your 101% in your studies and make use of your tuition (if you have) as an advantage.
