Today I speak on a rather deep and intense topic. All you audience out there, put a hand on your heart and tell me, is academic excellence everything in life? Is that all that determines a student’s ability?
I’m sure all of you must have heard of the news about the intermediate second year results. That came out just a few days back. This almost came like a shocker for all the students. Even the state toppers of the previous year failed. The students seem to be very angry and have expressed their dissatisfaction on a public platform with the way the math papers have been corrected. But keeping all this to the side, the only thing that just shook me was the fact that a student, who shall remain unnamed had committed suicide just because he was astonished and taken aback with his scores. Is education exerting an unnecessary and harmful influence on the young minds?
Think of the agony of the those parents who eyes were filled with hopes for their children. How painful would it be. It’s good to aim high. But it’s not always good to want to achieve only the sky. One must be happy enough with the ceiling too. How can a student forget the value of life, the value of the love of his parents and friends. I find this so disturbing and unacceptable. May their souls Rest In Peace and may we never have to hear such a news ever again!
Take care. Much love♥️
