This question has been on my mind for some time now "Which is better? to be on top or to be down?" And at this point, my conclusion is leaning towards the latter.
Haven't you noticed that if a person is always failing, everyone is happy if he passes but if a person is a medalist, everyone is sad even if he got a high grade but did not get the medal? So see, from there, you can say that being down is better than being on top because everyone has expectations - even yourself.
It's just like starting a game or a semester or term with high grades but when you reach the end of it, you lose or get really low grades. The feeling would be better if you did not do good at first but became victorious in the end. Other than that, if you feel bad at first, at least that feeling would push you to do better or prove yourself but if it was the other way around, you'd feel frustrated because you wasted the achievements you have gained. The only catch there is if you do not seek to improve yourself when you're down...on time.
Besides, if you are on the down side, there is no where else to go except to go up. In other words, "bilog ang mundo". That's just my opinion, based from experience HAHA! By the way, this is not only about grades, it's really about where you are in life. But then again, it depends on where you see yourself - if you're on top or you're down there. Maybe the solution is, change your perspective!?
