Striving for Excellence: not Starving Wannabes!


To Student who’s do not quite get it. Excellence is not about always saying “YES”. Excellence also means by saying “NO”. Excellence is most likely achieved through setting up specific goals and objectives for you to focus, prioritize, and excel in, rather than spreading yourself thin by joining all contest, all clubs, and organizations there is. Likewise, neither do some teachers quite get this.
And to Teachers who resort (unless unavoidable) to compulsory participation fail to realize that this only teaches obedience on the part of the students. whereas, encouraged voluntary participation develops a sense of freedom of choice, which is concominant to making wise decisions, as well as obedience. Excellence in teaching is achieved through guiding students towards liberty, not through some form of institutionalized “slavery”.
