Reflection

Academic succes is definitely is one of our goal right now as a student, to become one of the best students here in campus. But we all know it is not the easiest goal to achieve. Paper works, activities and deadlines. The things that we need to encounter and overcome. But is it worth it? Yes. But we should also know that there is more things that is more important than being the best at school. There are things that we need to experience and learn that we can’t learn inside the school. Because the world doesn’t just revolve around it.

You don’t need to be the best, but you should feel best. The message of Jack Ma to his son in my own perception. Jack Ma is a successful entrepreneur from China. He own the most succesfull company in China, Alibaba. If I were in his son’s shoes of course, I will feel pressured. Being a son of a succesful bussinesman, a lot of people has high expectations from you. Like being smart, respectful and lots of positive attitudes that you should have. In short being good at everything. Since his parents can afford to pay tutors to teach him that. But after reading Jack Ma’s words for his son kind of uplift the pressure that I will feel. Because hearing your parent’s advice from you will make you feel atleast loose and comfortable. Because instead of pressuring words because they want their child to be the best, he gave him a simple but inspirational and motivational words. That will inspire me to do my best with every actions and decisions that I will make in life. So there I will be my own best in my life with the important people who loves and support me and accepts me for who I really am.

Life is not about your achievements and failures. But it is about the lessons that you learned after. The experiences that will make you though and stronger not just the paperworks that will make you smarter. Life is not about how smart you are it is about how willing you are to learn every single lessons in life while enjoying it with learnings. I learned that you should not only focus on what is others’ expectation from you, focus on what will make you feel happy and best. Accept yourself and make yourself grow, become better, not on just a single field but also on the field where you will grow and enjoy. You only live once, and I think all of us should live with that saying. Don’t just ignore things around you just because you were only focused on a single thing.And don’t worry too much about your future and enjoy your life in present with discipline and courtesy with people around you. So that you will not face the consiquenses in the future. Your report card does not define you and it will never predict your future. Because in the real world its you that will make you successful and contented with the achievements that you achieve. Grades matters because it is the product of your hardwork at school, but your performance and attitude in the real world matters more.
