Did you hear the news!?Your friend exclaims as he calls ...
On 4th{he exclaims!!}is the time of your life...
A cold shiver runs down your spine as you ponder ...
Sigh!At last, the day has come.At last, your vacations
{or rather your life...lolz} is coming to an end .
The next immediate cheering thought is
It had to come one or the other day?Why not on 4th then?
But that certainly does not curtail your visits
to the nearby Mandir ...in fact it increases.
You can hear chattering ladies in the trains, neighbours
whom you had never seen before{but they claim of seing you},
long lost relatives and friends and many alike ...all ...
really all eager to know what numbers are printed on your
marksheet.
Why sooo much hype?
Why increase the tension already haunting in the poor
kids mind?
I have got nothing against anybody and feel really wanted
when someone asks about me and my results.But I would
like to mention that if your intention is to join someone
in their happiness or encourage them in their sorrow only
then bother asking.
Dont just merely ask for the sake of asking or to have
enough knowledge for the evening gossip.I would like to
mention here that I really admire one of my friends who
called me up well in advance to relieve me of my tension
rather than just merely ask about marks.
Hmm...I think I am going away from the topic ...
Coming to the point...I have seen and experienced both the
ways...i.e.being successful as well as not being upto
the expectations and hence consider myself eligible to write
on this topic.
Apart from ,
- Being humble , on the earth and kind
2.Being firm on your choice, avoid looking down on underachievers
and thanking all those who have helped you achieve,
I cant think of any more advice for achievers.
For those who feel they have not been upto the mark here
comes the dadiji advice from a kiddish person.
- If you are looking at these advices probably you consider
yourself an underachiever.
First and foremost...STOP THINKING that you are an
underachiever.Who told you that you are a failure?Learn to
neglect these people first !
2.Keep your marksheet away ...consider ...only for some time
that you are a winner...Ya ... a winner.I understand that
this may seem weird .But to be frank, only when you are happy
and satisfied you can make a right choice for yourself.Cry
all your might out!Release your feelings and let your loved
ones...I repeat ...your loved ones... know how you feel.
If they are cheering /criticising you, listen to it all.
I have read in my Hindi text book that the decision you make
after releasing your feelings are apt and suitable.
- Be alert and smart. Look for all the possible options
under your category of marks.Ask as many people as you want.
..enquire about the new courses and degrees.
Dont hesitate to ask even the achievers about their future plans.
You might end up getting some valid information.
4.Fill up forms of those colleges you feel you will get
admission.Now, how do you know that? Well...ask the senior
students as well as the staff about the last year cut-offs
and the number of seats.By applying little logic, you will
have an idea about where you can hope for admission.Keep
in mind those minority quotas and reserved seats.{ though I
really despise this kind of reservation and feel that this
is clear injustice...How can a caste distinguish one student
from the other...ridiculous!}
5.Never...ever give up your dreams looking at your marks.
In our Indian system of education{which deserves another revu}
no importance is given to practical knowledge.
Just mug up and throw!
These crammers who end up getting high percentages in the
high school practically fail at professional courses.
6.Last but not the least...accept your weakness not
forgetting your strengths.If you have scored less...
dont blame the examiner or your teachers.
Whatever has happened has happened!Even if you have given
your papers for revaluation there are less chances of your
marks increasing or so.Dont live in the hope of getting
more marks .
Whatever happens is for your good.Analyse your past but
live in the present and plan for your future.
Respect God and all your prayers and believe in his plans
for you.
Good luck,
Bonjour
