Exams… are they really the end of the world?

Exams create a tremble, right? Just one word sends a chill down the spine. One starts imagining eight or nine hours of intensive study every day, a huge number of chapters to prepare, parents’ most famous dialogue, “jao ja ke padho” when we take a break and of course, no games, no social media, no TV, no outings, etc..

But, on a more serious note, are exams really the end of the world? See, we should take seriously these examinations but we must also learn to understand that it is a formal test of knowledge or ability in a subject or a skill (I have copied this meaning from a dictionary!). What I mean is that you should take exams seriously, but if you get bad results, is everything finished? No, it is NOT!

Be confident and optimistic. Failures are a must in a successful person’s life. Being a good person is much more important than being a topper and that is what counts in the long run. There is a lot of pressure from society, peers and parents, and you can’t get rid of those nosy relatives and neighbors, who can’t help but keep asking about your results. 

  

Its not always that you have to be good in studies to be worthwhile for yourself or for the society. I personally believe that everyone has his or her own talent. So, rather than regretting about your results, try to explore yourself and your abilities, climb the ladder of self improvement in the field you think you are the best. May be you are a good dancer or an excellent artist.

Go out, play, feel the air, sunshine and let your mind churn out something special by shoveling into the wilderness of original thoughts. Try to discover the new YOU! Just chill Dude, as God has something amazing in store for you that you will get sooner or later in Life! Cheers!
