From the previous post on “Chemistry Tuition Classes – But NO Improvement in Grades!“, i mentioned that ATTITUDES is one of the most important factor for your child to do well for the Chemistry Exams (GCE O Levels, ICGSE, IB and IP programs).
Today i am going to share with you on an email that i have received from a buddy of mine, on how ATTITUDES is so important for us to score academically in exams, and not just Chemistry alone.
This equation should be taught in all Math classes! (maybe we can ask Ai Ling from www.singaporeolevelmaths.com)
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. Your parents, Your teachers, Your tutors? Many tried but only acheive 90 plus %. So what makes up 100% ! in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% !
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there!
