Value of A Certificate

The last one and a half month, I've been reflecting, reflecting and reflecting but can't really see much from what I  was reflecting about. I'm just confused with my goals that I've set for my life. Last week, I started to come back to the centre of my mind, moving towards my goals again ....... hopefully. That's the explanation why I have been quiet from my writing.

Now,coming back to the reality, I'm actually struggling to finish my thesis. This is my last chance  It's very hard to juggle between being a parent, a teacher and a student at the same time. I always remind myself about the reason I did it in the first place, just to motivate myself. I know, it's not easy but it's not impossible. So, I will just struggle myself through.

If you know that you have work hard to get something that you want, then it will be meaningful. Lately, I'm seeing the trend of just getting things in an easy way. They said " if you have money, everything will be okay". I didn't really get it in the first place because I thought, if you are in an academic institution, then everybody will be struggling study like I do. But the thing is, some people don't really struggle for any of the certificate they have. You must just have money for it.

Of course you should have money for it because you will have to pay fees and other charges. At least that is what I thought. But I was not smart enough. You must just be smart and get other people to do it for you and you just have to pay them. What?? Really??

Yes, there are people who pay other people to do all the assignment for them. Hhmnn ....... they must be having a lot of money, right? But that is not the point. The point is ......... where is the value of the certificate that you get from the course that you are taking? How would you feel ........ having appreciation for something that you do not do? And the biggest issue  is ........ why did you do it in the first place? I just don't understand.

If you don't want to something ....... just don't do it. Why do you have to things that you don't really want to do? Why do you want to have a certificate just because other people is having the certificate? Why do you have to lie to other people and the worst of all ....... why do you have to lie to yourself?

I'm not pointing to anybody and I don't even have a written proof to show who's doing it. It's just that I happened to know somebody who did it and that person is not in the country any more but I believe there are people who's still doing it and it's not ethical.

I'm just writing this just to remind  my friends and also myself of the value of our achievement in our life. Success in life is evaluated in lots of different angle of achievement and can be very subjective. Just because other people achieved higher in academic, doesn't mean they are successful in life but having a meaningful achievement, will later bring success to our life.

We should lead the right path for the later generation. For those who wants to achieve more or higher in you academic achievement, please make it a value able and a meaningful achievement.
The word is ....... BE HONEST TO YOURSELF.
