“There is a crack in everything. It is these cracks that allow light to get in.”(3) In addition, there is always much and more one can learn from his weakness. It is only when we realise where we are not doing enough that we know where to start to improve. No farmer would have a bumper crop without having a few meager yields first and understand what grows best in the field. Same goes for us students. While many may hold the belief to do well in everything under the duress of competitive parents, few realise that there is always what one is good at what one is not. Thus, by gingerly analysing our performance in school, we would have a trenchant understanding of our weakness and try to avoid using it in the future. For example, a student who is skilled in theory science may find it demanding to do pragmatic experiments. He would thus focus on his forte and put it into actual use in his career for a better job prospect. Therefore, defects could help us to better analyse the qualities we have, and be more perspicatious in making lifelong decisions. Moreover, the myriad kinds of shortcomings we have can actually ascribe to the display of the myriad kinds of individualities in this world. Imagine a world where all its residents are perfect and flawless, socialising in a formulaic way with unquestionable decorum, since everyone is perfect and independent, exempted from the need to rely on another person or share his inner world with another soul. What a listless and depressing world it would be! People living like robots, finishing their work most efficiently, and limiting any unnecessary movements, the world would be crammed with aloof hearts partitioned by icy steel-like skins. By comparison, in the actual case, our life is frought with imperfections and defects, but now think back on that, how adorable they are! It is because we all have something we are not good at or some shortcomings in our personalities that we strive to achieve our various aims, by putting into prodigious amount of efforts and time to mould ourselves into better individuals. It is because we have our own tender parts in our hearts and weakness in our minds that we crave the warmth from another soul, creating strong bonds with other people with shared happy memories. How wonderful it is that we are not perfect! Indeed, we all have some 'cracks', but that are actually what make every one of us special and unique.
