A short-lived celebration

This morning, PMR result was annouced. I could see on TV how the high achiever burst to joy when they found out how excellent their result is. Looking back 8 years ago, I had a similar situation. I got 8 A's. It was possibly the happiest moment in my life. It was my happiest moment until I got my SPM result back in 2005. This time I got 10 A's (9 1A's and 1 2A to be precise). I got even happier. The reason why I said this is not to be cocky with what I have achieved in my schooling years. It's a history now. Actually I would like to give all the high achievers out there a little warning. There's nothing wrong to celebrate it after all the hard work you've been through all these years. Do so. But you must remember that your journey won't stop there. You have a long way to go. One day, it will be a history and on that day, the present is what matter. Not the passed. Despite of achieving all that, I still haven't finish my study when most of my friends already hold high position and earn a handsome amount of salary. Funny enough, most of them didn't get straight A's in the exam. :)
