Ok, now I try to be honest. I was once distinction student in my year 1 study. Because of the Dr. who announced my result added on "He is the distinction with highest marks" , I was then well known to be scoring 90+ in my year 1 study. Out of no where the people alleged me of getting 90+ and almost scored 100 in overall exam. Woah! is that me? LoL. Why they talked as if there is another Boon Seng in the school. I don't even know my mark yet after year 1 result announcement. I got to know my overall performance when i entered year 2 and revisited my year 1 mentor from Chemical Pathology department, Dr. Zulkarnain Musthapha, and he told me i had got 86. (not to show off or anything, just to wish to stop the rumor) wow... human speech is indeed a great tools/weapons depending how you used it.
Dr. Zulkarnain is always a great mentor who gave me a lot of encouragement and motivation for my year 1 medical study. Dr. also shared with me how Chemical Pathologist works with the specimen sent from hospital. I had got to the chance to learn about the colligative property of solution and to see the real osmometer from the short conversation i had in his office. Dr. Zul had showed me the tips of the big iceberg of laboratory medicine,an exciting one, which later Prof. Dr. Faridah Abdul Rashid, who became my problem-based-learning tutor for Phase 2, year 2 Endocrine block, week 1 lesson, guided my PBL group deeper in the topic by giving us better mental pictures from the pictures of various laboratory facilities so that we can appreciate when we say Na+ 140 mmol/l we can know where it is actually coming from. Prof. Dr. Faridah is a great lecturer and educator whose have huge influence on my year 1 medical study, which should be given credits in another entries. Without whom i wouldn't be who am I today.
So you're GENIUS? I heard that you can MEMORIZE everything! the answer is nope. The top secret (shh... don't tell anyone) is to pay little bit extra work each day compared to others. Time management is important in medical school. We must balance up the time to play and to study, where you are the key person to determine the proportion of each item.All works no play makes jack a dull boy (This Jack is not my senior Dr. Chan Wah Loong, where i will include some stories between us in any near future) Jack taught me not to lose dream and shall keep striving for what i "Loong-ed" for. hahaha... The positive energy gave by Jack keep me propelled forward in my darker days in year 2 study before my Selanjar 1
Well there is no all in one success plan for everyone,it is simply we are diverse. However 1 thing worth pointed out is the basic principle to suceess should be the same in my opinion.(The Unified Theory XD) It starts off by recognizing yourself. No doubts , we are all good in pointing at others, but weak at recognise our own weakness/mistakes even though we stood in front of a mirror. perhaps the mirror is being spelled not to tell the truth. But mostly the fellow who casted spell on the mirror would be ourselves that indulge in our sweet dream of success and our own paradise (pardon me for the Harry Potter like scene~) A big fat slap by Wigglytuff would probably wake you up from the sing effect of Jigglypuff. The first step is to come to reality to decide our current location in our journey, what's our current situation.Thus, after deciding what's our target, we plan an action to reach the target . It's much resembling the physiological homeostasis system to success. Perhaps this is what nature select lives for and so we must obey the "rule" and play the game~ Just remember constantly feedback on your action whether or not it suits your personality. Therefore, i shall not share much of my personal approach here because it might sound funny and irrational to some.
Lastly, have dream and have fun with it.
If you wonder what's so special about being a good student/distinction student, err... there are a lots and there are NONE! it is simply because how special we are is defined by ourselves, stop living life of strangers! by the way you can keep saying you're genius XD, because basically i don't care! ha ha ha.
I like the scene in Kung Fu Panda,where Po's father told him that there is no secret in the soup of their famous noodle of their family business. It is special because we believe it to be. Let strive to become the dragon warrior
Sabbe Satta Sukhi Hontu, May all be well and happy.
Let excellence be your brand. Let excellence become your habit!
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then , is not an act, but a habit
