You Don’t Need To Score A To Be A Millionaire!
Posted by Harrace, Senior Internet Marketing Coach
The results of Hong Kong Certificate Exam (equivalent to secondary school graduation exam) was released today. The media’s focus was on those who achieved 10 A or 9A. The youngest one who achieved 9 A is a girl aged 14, which is a Hong Kong record. And there are 10 students who scored 10A.
These students are of course exhilarated, and so are their parents, as this is their ticket to admitting to Form 6. On the other hand, most of those who didn’t score A were disappointed and frustrated.
But do you need to score A, to be a millionaire? Definitely not!
Even a lot of billionaires like the World’s richest person (Bill Gates), or Asia’s richest person (Lee Ka Shing) didn’t even finish school, let alone scoring A!
On the contrary, many of those who scored A would end up working for those who didn’t score A. So even if you scored A, this is not a guarantee for your future success. On the other hand, if you didn’t score A, it doesn’t mean you cannot be more successful.
So what’s the difference between the super successful and the miserable? It’s definitely not due to the score. It’s a matter of goal setting and taking effective and persistent action to work towards achieving your goals.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will discover some students have become successful Internet entrepreneurs and are making more money than those working in the corporate world. If they can do it, why can’t you?

Hi Anaz,
I actually stay in KL and Hong Kong so it’s been a good balance for me.
Even if you didn’t score an A , it’s not the end of the story.
I remembered when i was in secondary school, i took the 1119 english exam. As a matter of fact, even my school headmaster asked me not to sit for the exam ( i was the only one in my whole school who registered) as it meant more paperwork to be filled up
I put so much pressure on myself and ended up not scoring an A and i was devastated! It took me days to think how could i end up not scoring an A so the next time i had any exams, i just took it easy and surprisingly scored several As for my SPM.
The next time i had an english exam was when i had to take the TOEFL english test and i scored a very high point ( i think it was 647 out of 660 full points) so that was even without pressuring myself.
Rgds, Fione
