Cheating has become the norm in many places around me. They all know the consequences of cheating but because they know they can easily get away with it, they engage in it all the time. Nothing good comes easy.

The teachers who encourage students to cheat do so, so that they can be liked by their students and collect gifts from them. They may feel helpful but they're not really helping the lives of these students.

When these students graduate, they enter professions they know nothing about. They end up struggling in those jobs and aren't really helpful and useful to their communities.

An example is a friend of mine who didn't really enjoy reading. She thought studying was a chore and so spent more time doing more enjoyable things. When it was time for exams, she would be so relaxed because she could pay people to do her exams. The lecturers were also settled, so that she'll get good grades and please her parents.

Did it do her any good in the end? No.

She ended up getting jobs at big organisations fortunately. But she couldn't cope because she couldn't prove she could do all the things listed in her CV. She wasted many years looking for new jobs, entering them and not knowing what to do. She would often get frustrated with herself and everything.

She realised her mistake and eventually changed jobs. She's taking each step one by one. Reminding herself, that it's difficult but not impossible. She's growing everyday now, realising that there's no easy route to achieve anything.

You know, cheating is not the main problem. It's the common drive to have it all and not sacrifice anything. To have an easy life without doing the necessary work.
