Saying goes that an “educational system is a game that forces the kids to compete for limited social resources,” where the winner and loser are in a dichotomy. But we see win and loss in a broader context as we age. It is often noted in history that “winning a battle but losing the war.” Recently, I watched a TV drama in which a king posed a question to assess two princes to choose his successor. The younger brother, in his desire to win, resorted to senseless killings; meanwhile, the older brother received advice from his council: “Ambition makes you a winner; justice makes you a real leader.” As a result, the younger brother won the contest but lost the throne. I often wonder if our educational system stresses too much on “win and loss.” The Bible teaches us that sin is an act against one’s conscience. I know what I’m doing is wrong because my conscience tells me so, yet I do it anyway, often because I only know “Ambition makes me a winner.” “Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. Some people have deliberately violated their consciences, and as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. – 1 Timothy 1:19.” I am willing to see my kids set sail with aspirations, but if they pursue their aspirations without justice, they will end up like the younger prince in the story, “won the contest but lost the throne.” “A Journey to Aspire and to Serve” is the school theme for the next three years. It is because a faithful servant believes “Ambition makes them a winner, justice makes them a real leader.
