Words don’t
mean anything anymore.
It’s a sad
fact but it’s true. People don’t mean what they say anymore. They make promises
they can’t keep.
Why do you cheat
in your exams?
If you want
good marks, why can’t you just work for them?
If you’re so
keen on getting a good grade, why can’t you just study?
Think of it
this way, if you’re willing to go beyond measure, if you’re willing to
literally beg your friend to tell you the answer, why can’t you just study
instead? How is cheating any different than theft?
My friends
keep telling me how cheating is normal because everybody does it. I guess that
way, all of us should tell our parents to quit their jobs and start stealing. Would
you honestly rather steal money than earn it?
People lie. They
make promises they can’t keep. They manipulate and they use it as an excuse to
get things done.
Is an honest
living that uncommon?
I don’t
think it is. I’ve been called an idiot too many times for not cheating but no, I’m
a believer and I’m someone who has faith.
I don’t
believe in cutting corners and you shouldn’t too.
At the end
of the day, if you didn’t stay up all night studying, where’s the fun in
graduating at the top of your class?
For me,
winning is about the high. Winning is about the moment when you get to tell the
audience your story. It’s about your moment. Don’t ruin that moment by cheating
because then it’s just NOT your moment anymore. It’s the moment of the person
who was sitting in front of you and who told you the answer. Don’t make it his
moment.
There’s no
high without hard work.
So let’s
stop. Let’s stop lying. Let’s stop cheating.
John Snow
was right, “When enough people make false promises, words stop meaning
anything.”
Many called
him an idiot for the honesty but then, he was a bastard who became King in the
North.
I guess what
I’m saying is, have faith in yourself and believe that you can succeed.
Believe that
you don’t need deceit or manipulation for it and maybe, just maybe, words will
start to mean something again.
