WORLD'S TOP 10 FINANCIAL CENTRES - Opportunities for you

Dear ACCA Candidates,

The crossroads are here again. With Results now out, there are mixture of happiness, distress or even relief. ACCA is tough, but ACCA students are tougher! I feel honoured and proud to be working hard together with students. These are high quality people because they face challenges and overcome them. To balance secular work and to study part time requires amazing determination, discipline and energy. 

A famous statistic is 85% of ACCA graduates passed but not on the 1st attempt on every paper. In other words, a majority of 170,000 graduates worldwide or 144,500 graduates went through tough times and succeeded! To find out examination styles, use of technical answers and manage in tight exam time requires both experienced lecturers to show the way and sheer practice on the part of candidates.

To pass ACCA exams and working full time simultaneously is something to be highly commended. An achievement! As this is the case for majority of our students being working class.

Pic 01: The man who worked so hard to achieve ACCA - the famous CEO of Air Asia. Will you?



Note that Tan Sri Dato' Tony Fernandez too am of this category. He graduated at 28 years of age. That is what he can do best in view of his secularly heavy responsibility in Virgin (UK) Group. This is MORE SO with our students working in stressful Malaysia.

Congratulations!

On a side note, please don't be mistaken to think that ACCA develops you as an Accountant. No! You could reach for the skies like Tony who used ACCA to become a CEO of one  of the Most Valuable Brand and market capitalisation in Asia!

Below are samples of why as a lecturer, I am honoured to work hard with these candidates.
Hi sir, i'm your July 2012 intake student for P7 @ KL Malvern international college. I have checked

Sir,

As for those who need to re-sit, may you increase your determination and energy even more. "Never Give Up! I say once again, Never Give Up!" as Winston Churchill the former Prime Minister of Britain willed the nation to face the formidable tasks of facing Hitler's Nazi advancing force in Europe. Human spirit is the most powerful weapon in the world. You harness it, you will join elite Chartered Accountants.

Conclusion

Bring in immense Motivation to complete the journey. Here are some wise quotes on studying:

"When you study, remember not to give up. Exams are the jungle, and by studying, you make yourself the lion. You will enter the class and look at everyone arrogantly, feeling like the king. You will win this battle and tear everyone apart. When you study, remember: Never, never, never, never give up!" (Giannis Koutivas, nd)

"How is it that I can remember words to a song from years ago but can't remember what the hell I studied for last night."

"A very large portion of a true students work must be done outside the classroom."

Have a great productive 2013!
