I would like to thank my mother and father for scolding me when I was in the wrong, and for punishing me when I misbehaved. It is through this personal sacrifice that I learnt that I could not expect to achieve anything I wanted, and that I must take care of others.

I would like to thank them for being of assistance to the teachers who gave me my education, and for not turning against them to side with me when my school record was below the expectations.

I would also like to thank them for not pushing me to get the perfect grades in school, but encourage me to take education as a part of life and enjoy my childhood too.

Intelligence is ambition, but ambition is peril.
