This morning, as the 1st day of the last week for this school term, Mr. Iu gave us a message on the importance of facing setbacks in life. He used a story about a young man with not much education facing an unfair treatment in his work. This bad treatment somehow became the wakeup call for the young man and spurred him to return to study and eventually to financial success. Mr. Iu didn’t simply use the story to encourage us to put up with setbacks in life, he also wished that setbacks would become the strong medicine that cure our laziness in studying. Let’s hope that we don’t have to come to taste that bitter life medicine in order to realize the importance of studying hard. As the 1st term exam draws close, let none of us take Mr. Iu’s reminder lightly.
