Your vision determines your future
I believe that all of us have our unique talents. Dictionary.com Says that talent is defined as natural endowment or ability of a superior quality. Notice the two words "superior quality". Yes! There is a certain skill inside each of us that no one else in the world can match, that is, provided you unearth and cultivate it.
We need to see the present in relation to the future in order to be successful. Simply put, what you see yourself become in 3 years will be dependent on what you do now! In Pvb 13:4, it says that "The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich." A person who is unwilling to put in the sweat and pain of achieving his dreams will never realise it. Yes, it is a painful process and i know it too. I spent most of my time in secondary school studying so that i could manage to get better results. I am now waiting to start school in NTU. I have to admit, that it was a most painful process, especially for me. I was from Normal academic stream and i did not have the advantage of the A maths background. Hence i was struggling with MathsC initially. But I wanted to succeed in academics so much i would not give up. And i am happy i did not.
Sometimes, there will be giants standing our way. And i mean B-I-G giants. If we see them as a dead end, we will stop and never succeed. But if we can believe that we will conquer it, and put in our best, I am sure we will not regret it. During such circumstances, lets also take a good look at what we have eg, our talents and skills acquired over the years. Yes, I did not have any any Amath background. But I excelled in my emaths and I will never give up. Those are my strengths.
My question for you as you exit is what is your dream? How are you planning to realize them? Do you think you can do it? I may never know who you are, but I sincerely hope you can get something out of my testimony and make it a tool to your success. Thanks for reading.

I am really impressed by the never giving up spirit in you! I am actually a slacker and always run away from problems. That is why I fail in so many things I do. Your article really inspire me to learn more from you. You indeed show me what a man of God is who climb upwards against all odds and challenges. I believe that you will go far in life!
