Achieve balance for a positive future

I read about a survey recently that revealed Hong Kong primary students, in general, have no interest in their studies. They spend their lessons napping and chatting to friends. They learn nothing, and are simply wasting their time.

Obviously such students do not have a future. But students who only focus on their studies put their future in danger too.

In life, all kinds of skills are required, for example, communication and leadership skills.

These are skills that cannot be acquired from books, and are best learned in social activities.

In other words, ideally, we need to concentrate on our studies and at the same time have other interests.

Students who are genuinely preparing for the future need a balanced life. Study hard and enjoy the extra-curricular activities.
