recently i came to know that some people treat me differently for two main reasons.

the first is my exam results. for a long time i've always believed that good result is not THAT important. well, it's important in a sense that employers are more likely to look at those with better results. but nowadays many people who graduated from university with a degree doesn't get a job which is related with their majors. i might be wrong but i've heard a lot of cases where degree holders are working as salesman. some even sell credit card (getting people to sign up for a credit card that is) for a living. another point is, so what if a person is a genius but his social skills are ZERO? can he/she survive in the job market?

my principle is that as long as i enjoy studying, and in the process hanging out with friends from different backgrounds then i'm satisfied. but then of course i have to pass all my papers or else the tuition fees would go to waste. we never stop learning until we die, but we can only study in a institution until a certain time. so why not enjoy university life while we still can?

some people don't share my point of view and i don't blame them. but i can feel it when they treat me differently just because i'm not really good in my studies. perhaps i didn't put enough effort, but that's just me. why can't they just accept who i am? i know it's for my own good, but when i find the need to change then i will. for one, i don't choose my friends according to their results.

the second reason is my inability to read/write chinese, being a chinese. because i tend to mix a lot with those chinese educated people, sometimes i really do feel left out...
