STRESS!! not....

When running a marathon, we...
Pant, pant, run, run, pant, pant, run, run;
When we study, we...
Study, study, stress, stress, study, study, stress, stress.

All we're doing is all wrong,
No wonder we always sing a sad song;
We always over do all things,
Doing this is right, we think.

Chill, chill, do not rush,
It is not the end you know.
Sprint, jog, sprint, jog,
Study, rest, study, rest.

And at the end, push with all you have left,
Do not look right, nor left,
Focus on the goal,
To satisfy your soul.

Do this and you'll be at the top,
In 1 piece,
1 breath,
BUT with 1000 SMILES!!

Stress....STRESS!! everyone says that... admit it. With homework everyday, extra activities...people tend to stress out easily. Why?? I believe it is due to pressure and too high expectancy. Pressure is because other people then to pressure or expect others to do well in certain areas or even all areas.

It is said that a lot of pressure are placed on Chinese students studying in Chinese school ( SJKC schools ). Chinese school students generally have too much homework if i have to say so myself. The parents of the kids also tend to provide their kids with the 'best' gift of all ( at least they think so ). MORE WORKBOOKS!! They only think about their children getting straight A's in the exams. What pressure...don't you agree?? Comparing your kids is also another factor why they get stressed up. No matter how humble you may be, you have the tendency to want to be better than others. ADMIT IT!

This poem i wrote a while ago, tells us about how we should NOT stress out. We can always have a lot of homework, work, extra activities, and at the same time avoid stress. Just take it easy. Have good time management if possible. Your personality also affects your stress level just to add. If you are a hardworking type of person, you will do fine most of the time. Organized, well you have good time management i suppose. Lazy people, you gotta buck up!

Here are some solutions how to stay away from stress.

1~> People who are hardworking... Learn from the lazy ones how to relax. (and vice versa )
2~> GET A HOBBY...
3~> Do something you enjoy...
4~> Listen to music...

Thats all for today i guess~~ Hehe ^^ if anyone has any comments, suggestions or you disagree with something i said, please write them in the comments..thank you very much...^^
