There are no failures

Letters

Many students in this country are regarded as failures.
This has been the case since this country existed.
However, let me challenge this status quo.
As a matter of fact, we are living in an era of technology that was created by people who were no smarter than us. If you don’t know, Albert Einstein, who is the greatest physicist of all time, was rejected by many universities in Europe when he wanted to enrol as a student.
After creating the equation of relativity and producing the quantum description of light (for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize), Einstein created a legacy.
Know what? The very universities that were rejecting Albert Einstein were then fighting
over him to teach in their
schools.
People of Papua New Guinea, especially our students who are regarded as failures:

  • You are where you are because of your past mistakes.
  •  You will be tomorrow what you do today.
  •  Failure is a characteristic of human beings. Everyone fails.
    So get this from me – falling down is not the problem. Not getting up is.
    So the choice is in your hands.
    Feel the pain on the way to success or feel the pain and be haunted with regret.
    Nothing changes if nothing changes.
