1654th BLOG POST -->>
Recently, the first of the many
important results for few students have been announced and reading about their
worries and anxiety many people have spoken about how important or unimportant
the marks that they have secured are. Whenever we speak about something as
sensitive as this, we should be very clear and responsible about what are we
about to preach to the students who are already very confused about their
future. Confusing them more is only going to add problems to their already chaotic
mind. I read so many people writing to the students that whatever you have
scored is of no prominence as life is all about how much talented or skilful you
are. People have ended up giving examples of Sachin Tendulkar etc. trying to
justify how even if you are not good at studies is not worrisome. This is a
completely irresponsible message that you have received, my dear little
friends.
Let me be very clear with you,
whatever marks you have scored are going to stay with you forever in life. This
cannot be changed now. There was a whole year when your parents wanted you to
struggle day and night so that on the day of result, you do not have to worry
about the percentage marks printed on your result. You were expected to think
above that about your future and further education. But because you didn’t
understand the important of this percentage, rather than thinking about further
educational prospective you have, you are stuck in blaming yourself for scoring
very low percentage. The first step is to ACCEPT THE REALITY. Accept whatever
marks you have got and just believe that it is only going to add up in the
total marks you score in your life.
If one series goes bad for the
Cricketer, it does not mean that he cannot score again in the next one. Now,
accept the marks that you have in your hands and try to understand which
subject interests you the most. Also tally your interest with the marks you
have scored in that particular subject. Sometimes, we have wrong assumption
that we are interested in something while the result keeps displaying our
mediocrity in the same. So, the result has to be given some weightage while
thinking about which subject you need to continue in the future with. Get yourself
admitted in whatever- good or bad college, as per the opportunity you are
getting, and start learning more and more and try to secure a better percentage
this time. What has gone is something which can never be changed. What is about
to happen is totally in your hands. GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY.
Whatever opportunity you have now,
just get it and keep reminding yourself that you do not want to be disappointed
with yourself ever again on the day of the result. Do not think about what
others think about your result. Only think about your dreams and what kind of
efforts and marks you need to achieve the same. TALK WITH THE PEOPLE who are
already doing what you are dreaming to do in life. Take their advice and learn
how they used to study. Incorporate those ideas and structure your daily
routine accordingly. The process of improvement is the only process that will
take you ahead. If you have secured bad marks this time, it is no confirmation
that you are not going to score big the next time. Similarly, for the students
who have scored very well, do not think that this will continue forever. Little
break of concentration and ego can bring you down like anything. At any time
remember that someone somewhere else is preparing to overtake you. Any minute
that you waste by not studying, someone else is gaining immensely out of this
opportunity.
I am giving my example to you
where I scored 61% in 10th, 55% in 12th, 58% in
Graduation, 68% in Post-graduation and 78% in my last post-graduation that I
did. It was something after 12th that I had determined to achieve
because it was enough embarrassment twice by scoring below average marks. I had
taken an oath of not scoring less percentage than what I had scored in my
previous examination. And this is how I started becoming better in studies and
today I have confidence that I can study anything and pass with good marks
because that becomes my only target when I study. But do those percentages
scored in 10th and 12th std not haunt my career today? It does. But it gets covered by the good marks
I have scored in my Graduation and two Post-graduations that I have done.
So yes, the journey is not over.
It is just one series that has gone bad but to ensure that you still lead a
great lifestyle and life ahead, you will need to set your routine and make
study a prime focus for yourself till the time your educational phase does not
end. Give importance to education now as you have whole life to follow your
passion and interests. Do not ignore studies for any other interests by reading
about foolish examples of how people did well in their life by not studying.
These people were excellent in their talent/skills since their childhood itself
and got right direction to move towards. If you are on the same journey, I take
you as an exception but if it is not, then damn, STUDY for your next exam and
prove yourself that you can achieve any marks that you write on your wall and
make it a target. BEST OF LUCK for your future from another mediocre student. 😊
Thanks.
