BONGO Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 You sound like a twat.When will people realise that theres more to life than riding!I dunno where i'd be without riding though. Sad it may sound but riding is my life. I know loadsa mates who feel exactly the same. It's the biggest thing that has ever happened to me and my life. I remember feeling the same when i was doing A levels.DO YOUR BEST IN EDUCATION. Parents say it and old people say it. Now i say it, and if you ride more than work, in a few years, you'll say it. Please please please do your best. I didn't, although i did do good, i coulda done better, but i was fortunate by getting a good career where i'm at now.Do your best. You can still work your arse off and have time to ride. Then once it's all done you can ride, and you can afford to ride as you'll be earning decent money if all goes well.If you f**k up though you're f**ked for good. It's like, if you don't water the seed, the tree won't grow. you gotta put the work in now to get it good in the long run. Whenever you feel like you can't be arsed, just think about exams you didn't work for, and the regret afterwards. Don't keep making the mistakes you know how to fix.Ride all you can and give it 100%, but don't do it at the expense of watering your seeds, cos you want your tree to grow into a good job mate!Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's horrible seeing people make mistakes i made, and me not saying anything!Plus i know how it feels to just want to ride every single second of your life and forget every single thing in the world.

BONGO Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 without a C in english language and maths, you won't even get a f**king job, unless it's total wank.You NEED them, regardless of uni, for your whole life you'll have to call on them two results. Others are handy, but them two are iperative. I had to resit both. I wish i got them first time and saved a year, but tgetting them second time round ended up with me getting my job now, and 6 years in, i know i got a job and a career until i retire, which, with a steady wage, is very comforting.Get it right and you'll be riding with a clear mind.Like riding, to get better you gotta work on the stuff you're worst at. So put that to school and get all your results up.bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br3n Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 your simply studying the wrong things, Your career should interest and excite you as much as riding does... Its only when your enthusiastic and really interested in your job that you excel at it, and seeing as money is usually a bi-product of sucess I think its pretty important Dont go to 6th form just for the sake of it, I personally found 6th form and a levels the BIGGEST waste of time ever. Changed college/course and its much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed Maths and did mediocre in english at GCSE. Never went to Uni and have a GNVQ and BTEC. Im currently earning 13K at the bottom level of IT, I have several job interviews which all look promising for new jobs ranging from 18 - 30k. Now id like the 30K job but it requires 5years of expreience in Tech support with knowlege on Microsoft exchange server 2003 and network administration. Thats not a qualification, thats just starting at the bottom and working up the ladder. GCSE's and A levels are not the be all and end all, but putting in the effort now will help you at uni, will help teach you to just blank out riding and knuckle down and get you work done, getting you a degree and also enjoy the student life.

JoNnY__Mc Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Cheers for making this thread abdab I really haven't a clue where I am right now... no plans for the future...Riding always seems to take priority, which is gay because at times I hate it, and its never gonna earn me serious money... I spose you just gotta knuckle down now, get the grades... start your career... earn some money and then ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thats wrongIt's not wrong at all mate. The large majority of jobs that are decent things to go for, require Maths and English. It's not even debateable. Yeah of course there are exceptions, but decent employers want to see a C in maths and English, that's the end of it. SImply becasue you have managed to get an alright job without them doesn't mean otherwise, it means you're fortunate, and could have easily lost out to someone higher qualified.i'm not being argumentative, but on this occasion, i happen to know from experience that i am right, and i'm certain i would be backed up by a lot of people.Get them or you won't go as far as you could if you had them, that's almost guarenteed. You got for a job with some results and experience, but without them, and someone else goes with the same as you, but has them....you ain't gonna get it. Nevermind that though, becasue when they sieve through the applications, you'll be thrown out anyway becasue for a decent job, they're almost always going to require the C in maths and english.bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I'm 21 soon and spent most of my A levels ridding my bike. I've never been one for revision, only took 2 A levels aswell.Anyway got a B and a C and am now doing a degree in Architecture.Moral of the story is ride your bike, everything will work out fine, P.S. I dont know if it's just pompy uni but if you're a mature student i.e. 21 then you automatically qualify for a place. So screw up your A levels have a laugh for a few years then go to uni and study what you want.Lifes a goodun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everybody is fortunate enough to be able to pick things up easily and get away without a lot of revision and hardwork. Just because you're lucky enough to be able to blag a few exams doesnt mean everybody else is. You're 20 and handing that out as advice The moral of the story is not what you just said. Its listen to Bongo and his sound advice! Not only wisdom but plant based metaphors. Genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) SHIT. I have A levels starting next week and I'm only JUST doing enough work. Bongo is right, sort yourself out like I'm trying to for the next 3 and a bit weeks and so long as you've put the work in it'll be fine. These past few days I've been blowing off riding and even the girlfriend trying to make sure I'm getting enough work in. It's gay but it's gotta be done.Just think of the summer ahead. Gunna be ACE!EDIT: If you're thinking of Uni too, just think, the better you do now the easier it'll be to get in.It's also yet ANOTHER good thing to look forward to. Personally I can't wait to get there and start living all by myself. In the middle of Brum... woooooo!
