A school principal in Singapore sent this letter to the parents before the exams

Dear Parents

This exams of your children are to start soon. I know you are all really anxious for your child to do well.

But, please do remember, amongst the students who will be sitting for the exams there is an artist, who doesn’t need to understand Math ...

There is an entrepreneur, who doesn’t care about History or English literature ...

There is a musician, whose Chemistry marks won’t matter ...

There’s an athlete ... whose physical fitness is more important than Physics ...

If your child does get top marks, that’s great!

But if he or she doesn’t ... please don’t take away their self-confidence and dignity from them.

Tell them it’s OK, it’s just an exam! They are cut out for much bigger things in life.

Tell them, no matter what they score ... you love them and will not judge them.

Please do this, and when you do ... watch your children conquer the world. One exam or a low mark won’t take away ... their dreams and talent. And please, do not think that doctors and engineers ... are the only happy people in the world.

亲爱的父母

孩子的考试即将开始。我知道你们都非常期望你的孩子做得很好。

但是，请记住，在参加考试的学生中，

成为一位艺术家，不需要了解太多的数学......

成为一个企业家，不需要关心历史或英国文学...

成为一位音乐家，化学分数是无关紧要的

成为一位运动员，身体素质比物理更重要。

如果你的孩子得到最高分，那太棒了！

但如果他或她没有做到，请不要带走他们的自信和尊严。

告诉他们，这只是一个考试！他们的生活还有更大的事情要做。

告诉他们，不管他们考了多少......你爱他们，不会评判他们。

请做到这一点，当你这样做时...看着你的孩子征服世界。一次考试或一次低分不会带走他们的梦想和天赋。请不要以为医生和工程师是世界上唯一幸福的人群。
