Reflection

Can you remember the thrill of a good exam result? The trouble with exam   results is, that despite the knowledge that exams are about measuring our own potential, we still like to compare our marks against those of our classmates. Our success is made all the more meaningful by the fact that others have done less well. If this mentality stopped at exams this wouldn’t be so bad, but what happens when the same attitude spills over into the rest of our lives? Do we look down on others because they have more menial jobs,    because they’re on benefits, because they don’t go to church of haven’t given as much to charity as we have?
