Words stop..

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.
