It’s never too late to start again

IT is no use crying over spilt milk.
This is an idiom which means it is a waste of time crying over a situation that you cannot change.
I urge students who are in school and not doing well to remember that the moment you start pondering your past mistakes and failures, you are wasting the moment which you can use to make a difference.
As a saying goes, you cannot go back and make a brand new beginning, but you can start now and make a band new ending.
To students who have dropped out of the formal education system, it is not the end of the world.
Failing the first time does not mean you are a failure at all.
You can still come back bigger and stronger.
Prove that you are worthy to serve Papua New Guinea.
We are lacking human resources.
There is no such thing as a lifetime of failure.
Albert Einstein stated it well: “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live the rest
of its life believing that its life is useless.”
That is just the same with our students.
If you parents are judging your kids by their ability to perform in mathematics and physics when they are good in English, your child will live the rest of his or her life believing that he or she is useless.
As parents, we must guide our children and not choose what course they take.
The reason is we all have different abilities and talents, so parents cannot force a child to take a course that he or she is not good at.
