做你喜欢的事，喜欢你做的事
DO WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU DO
If you love what you do, you’ll do more of it; doing more of it, you’ll gather more confidence, more energy and get better at it. That builds more confidence and energy and you love it more. And you grow in your capability and skills. And the reverse is true.
I definitely had a period where I was in that mode. This is the time when I was a school teacher. Much as I loved teaching and I love education, I was too young, I think, for the environment that I found myself in and I was very unhappy as a young person, 21 years old.
I was teaching at a school in Johannesburg and I didn’t feel confident in what I was doing, I didn’t feel like I was doing a good job. I was teaching boys who didn’t want to be there, I was teaching subjects I didn’t want to teach, it was a whole combination of things. I just lost confidence, I lost a sense of my self esteem, I did it worse as a consequence and I all of a sudden ended up feeling deeply unhappy.
It came to a crunch point the day I’ll always remember. It was a winter sports afternoon in Johannesburg and I was on duty in this clubhouse and I was [thinking], ‘Thank goodness, it’s the end of the day.’ And I was on my way to the bus stop. And this young boy ran up to me and said, ‘M’am, I’ve left my jumper inside. May I please go and get it?’
And I stomped back upstairs and I was the worst kind of school marm. I shook my finger at him and told him this was inconvenient and I told him he should think ahead, and I opened the door with a great amount of noise and stood there in the door and watched him scurry to and fro. And then he went downstairs I shut the door behind him, with again a lot of noise and flurry, and walked downstairs and I reached the bus stop.
And I sat down at the bus stop and I just felt so ashamed. I thought, ‘What has happened to me, this person who loves people and enjoys teaching and who has a positive view of her life? What has happened to me, that this is the way I am behaving, this is the way I am reacting to some small situation?’
I realised it was affecting my life and it was affecting the way I felt about myself and I recognised that I needed to make a change either in my attitude or in what I was doing. I felt I wasn’t coping in what I was doing. And I ended up at the end of that term leaving teaching and ultimately joining the bank.

，你的成绩必须达到一定要求才能进大学，大学门不是完全敞开的，热门专业更需要顶尖的分数，and yes, it is similar to Chinese Uni entry exam!，考太差了可能连学校都进不去！
（虽然我不赞成把孩子逼到连玩的时间都没有）。
