Recently, newspaper heated up the national issues- ‘Top scorer fails to get scholarship’, is a disappointing issue, and not because they can not get scholarship but how they thought the world has owed them with their colorful result! To make matter worse, one of the politician’s even claims that she does not believe that a top scorer will fail an interview session.
The government and public have given much self-esteem and confidence to the students, pushing them into believing that academic result is everything. Meanwhile, some people even believe that a top scorer is good in everything!
Obviously, it is not true; judging at the unemployed rate in Malaysia, looking into the possible causes, and you may find the reason of top scorers out of job is because they can’t even speak proper English! They fail an interview and couldn’t find a job, and shall they blame the company for not recruiting them? It is just like government fails them in the scholarship interview. Our government has been too lenient to students, somehow, has pampered our students too much.
The conclusion, Top scorers are not king, unless they really show us they excel in every facet, the least, communicate well and confidently. How they bring themselves in the society, reflect their survival out there, and bear in mind that, this has no bearing on their academic result!
