Marks are neither the measure of Education nor the Success….

Every year, the CBSE 12th Class Result  come as an Eye opener to all of us and the bitter reality dawn  on us about the stress and the pressure which has become an indispensable part of our children’s lives…

Thousands of students across India securing above 95℅, is compelling enough to make us sit together to introspect the situation.

The admission to many prestigious Colleges and Universities is becoming much tougher every year  with a large no.of students securing 95% and above.
Then what about the students who have not been able to fare well?

Where is it going to take our children to?
Shouldn’t we consider some other options, other than the traditional ones, Engineering, Medical or MBA?
Marks or the knowledge without creativity is meaningless.

if knowledge is the tool in one’s hands, creativity is the expertise or the skill to use it effectively.

So, one must try to acquire one or the other skill which fascinates him the most and should try his level best to attain proficiency of higher order in it.
When one’s hobby or anything of his interest becomes his profession, nobody or nothing can stop him from reaching the top rung of the ladder of success.
We can find hundreds of such examples of such people around us who are excelling in their respective fields as they chose their hobby or the area of their utmost interest and had even developed and groomed it to the fullest without bothering about their marks or their rank in the school, state or the Board.
The most glaring example is that of the Great Physicist and Nobel Laureate, Elbert Einstein, who was compelled to leave the school as he resisted the traditional methods of teaching with undue emphasis on memorization and rote learning only. There was no room at all for creativity or imagination.
And the rest is history. The theory of Relativity, as invented by him, is the basis of all the nuclear operations.
To sum it up, the students must sharpen their creativity or imagination, hone their skills in the areas of their interest and the rest will come to them naturally, effortlessly, whether good marks, high rank or admission in any course in any prestigious College or University!!!!
