Marks --- Can they make or break your life?
In this world of competition, everyone is trying hard to give their best, trying to fit themselves in the parade.
The news about the children committing
suicide; unable to score the desired results is petrifying and atrocious.
But do marks have the power to rule
over your entire being?
Do they determine the success of your
entire life?
Are marks or grades the only way one
can discover the talent and capability of students?
The fact that marks are important has
been given a lot of unwanted importance which is no doubt having a detrimental
effect on today’s generation.
Yes, in a certain way, marks can prove
to be useful as a method of evaluation and a base to conclude who’s capable of
getting into those big institutions and who’s not.
It’s good to know as to what level we are
or how much is the scope for improvement, but considering them as your destiny
or fate decider, makes no sense. That simply isn’t fair.
It’s quite disturbing and irritating
being compared to other children time and again by one’s own parents. The child
is going to do his or her level best if provided with proper and much needed
support and understanding.
Comparison is not going to help in any
way.
Marks, however, give us entry into the
reputed universities. That’s good.
If you want something, you got to work
hard, take efforts, nothing’s going to stop you.
But if in any case, for any genuine
reason you aren’t, it’s not the end of the world. You can still do better.
This method of evaluation based on the
marking system has its own pros and cons. It’s upon us how we take it. The ball
is in your court. You can make it or break it.
So, whoever you are, reading this
right now, tons of luck to you in all the walks of life. You are much more precious
than you think.
