1. Do role models have an impact on one’s life?
Introduction: Role models whether they are figures of high authority, parents,
siblings or even peers can have either positive or negative impact on one’s
life. There is some point in life when every child desires to live up to the standards
set upon by their role models. In the conquest to be more like one’s role model, we
strive to outline our better qualities, we acknowledge our flaws and try
to conceal them or we may even lose parts of ourselves in the course of
trying to be someone we are not. Role models have an impact on one’s life as it
can motivate one to be a better individual, cause one to lose one’s identity and it can
have a negative influence on one’s character.
Point 1: Role models entice a person to work towards his or her goals.
The role models here have provided people with a glimpse of their vision and by
doing so, people are able to recognize, comprehend and relate to their
role figure. Seeing their role models successfully confronting hardships will
motivate people to endure difficulties and crises. In fact, role models can embed the
quote, “If I can do it, so can you” in one’s life. The life experiences of one’s role
model will teach and educate us in the lessons of life which cannot be found anywhere
else. Gandhi made a difference by liberating India. He believed in independence
and the freedom of speech. His beliefs were not shattered despite being subjected
to numerous obstacles like being thrown into jail. He now serves as an inspiration
to the liberal minded who are not afraid to stand up for their rights.
Conclusion: Role models can either benefit a person by serving as a source of
inspiration or cause detrimental effects to a person . We can never
adequately express the influence role models have on one’s life but what must be
highlighted is that role models should always be positive ones. We need role
models that remind us of what being a human means those who can
prepare us to take the world by storm, in a positive way that is.

2. Does academic excellence guarantees a successful life?

3. Introduction 1: Nowadays academic excellence among the young is given much
importance. While it is perfectly acceptable to strive to achieve good academic
results, the notion that only academic excellence guarantees a successful life is not
true. Students are pressured into taking more subjects than they can
handle and this causes immense pressure among our young. The
question is – can this endeavour absolutely confirm a dynamic future .
Introduction 2: Within the last century or so, people have come to place much
importance on academic excellence. The same can be said about academia in
Malaysia. The government has placed priority in educating the young generation
with the increase of funding and a more applicable standardized testing system.
Even with all these improvements, does academic excellence guarantee a successful
life? To some success is embodied in the 5c’s that includes tangible
things which is cash, car and comfort. To others success may not be
material assets but the legacy they leave behind for their children and
future generations. For example when John F. Kennedy once said, “Ask not
what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”. Such
inspiring stories can be viewed as success.
Point 1- Agrees : With that said, if success to a person is measured in
assets, academic excellence will not hurt. For example if a person decides to
become a medical doctor, he or she is almost guaranteed a successful life. This is
because whether the country is at war or in an economic crisis or the country is
prosperous; a doctor is bound to have work that can generate income to live a
comfortable life. However, if a different profession is chosen such as business, there
are too many variables for a guaranteed successful life even with a business degree.
Life might be sailing at one point but as soon as something occurs, such as an
economic recession, life might not be successful anymore. Although admittedly, for a
person with academic excellence there is a better chance of starting over and
picking up pieces with academic excellence, it opens doors to different
countries and different job opportunities compared to someone without.
Point 2 – Disagrees : Many students are now pushed into striving for academic
excellence by their parents and teachers. Thus the hunger for learning and
knowledge does not come from within. Rather it is forced upon them and borne
reluctantly. This intense pressure could cause severe psychological and
emotional problems in the future. Therefore, instead of only pursuing
academic excellence, perhaps, children should be given a chance to explore other
