Yesterday, while I was jogging at a park....
Son: Dad...(panting)..I can't jog any more.
Father: (who was ahead, jogged on the spot upon hearing his son's comments) C'mon. Keep going. That's the purpose of training. You can't continue because you lack the stamina. That is why I brought you here today. Come, jog beside papa.
I thought of all of you after I overheard the brief conversation between the dad and his son. The dad is probably training his son for some marathon. Similarly, Mdm Tok and I are preparing you for the PSLE examination.
We give work for you to do. We are training you for the crucial exam. You find it stressful especially when you are doing difficult questions. You feel like giving up at times... but let me share with you something that is very true. When we are faced with challenges, do not give up. Instead, persist on. Think of solutions to solve the problems. Once you deal with the challenging problems successfully by your own, you'll feel a great sense of satisfaction and you will be a stronger, more capable pupil than before! Attempt all the difficult questions now so that when you are sitting for your PSLE examination, you'll feel that the exam is a piece of cake.
Remember:先苦后甜 :) Don't give up!
