MESSAGES FOR THE STUDENTS TO BE COMMUNICATED BY THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS FEARLESS EXAMINATION WRITING
5. We should inform the students that there are many medical colleges, engineering colleges and good professional institutes all over India. Every student with reasonably good marks need not worry too much about getting an admission in the institutes of their choice.
6. In every steps of one's life there will be examination, written test, interview and it will continue till the last part of profession. Exams are part of the life and job. There are examinations for the doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, judges, advocates and so on.
7. Even in the profession/ job there will be fear while undertaking the wok . Think about a surgeon doing surgery, judge giving / reading the verdict, a singer singing in an auditorium, a soldier fighting in the battle field, a police man facing a mob, a mahout controlling an elephant, a forest guard protecting the forest, a pilot controlling the flight, a driver driving the bus, a tree climber going to the top of the tree, the fishermen in the sea, the cook amidst fire in the kitchen, film producer, the actor, the cricket player, the swimmer, ! Everyone of them will have fear in the inner core of his/ her mind even if they are experienced in the same field for decades. So the fear is a common feeling for everyone in the world.
8. The student should remember that the fear cannot solve the problem of exam writing, it can only aggravate the problem of forgetting what is studied and what is to be memorized while writing the exam. The student should take the exam seriously but fearlessly.
9. Marks of the exams are important but not crucial for a good successful life. It is only one among many parameters. Marks in each class is only a stepping stone for the next class. No one is going to ask how much marks one got when he is working in a reputed office. None has asked Mahatma Gandhi about the marks he got in his exams when he was spearheading the Indian freedom movement. Ranks and distinctions are important but not an inevitable parameter in life.
10. Life is not school or college education. It is only a small part in our life. Socrates, Jesus, Albert Einstein, Ramakrishna Parmahasa, Ramana Maharshi, Amruthanandamayee, Sai baba, Sree Sankaracharya and many great did/ do not have college education. They are remembered not based on their academic qualifications.
11. Mahasrhi Valmeeki and Maharshi Veda Vyasa did not have Ph. D. But hundreds of Ph.Ds are being taken in Ramayana and Mahabharata.
12. Follow the life systematically and customatically. Practice the scientific customs and rituals in the life. Let our life become useful + fruitful + purposeful + peaceful. That is what is meant by glorious life (dhanya jeevitham). Waking up before 5.30 am, a prayer sitting on the bed, morning bath, prayer in pooja room, few soorya namaskaram for the body, a prayer before taking food, taking the blessings of the parents before leaving to school, taking the blessings of the teachers during the exams, after returning from school, playing for sometime and living with nature, taking the evening bath, prayer with family members, spending some time with parents and reading with a pleasant face and calm mind upto 10.30 pm. There ends the day routine. Never study later than 10.30 in the night particularly during exam days.
13. Attend the classes, recollect whatever is explained in the class and discuss with friends casually on the subjects. After studying, try to write down atleast once. Do all these without tension.
14. The student should remember that there will be positives + negatives in the life, success + failure, happiness + sorrow, profit + loss, fiends + foes, criticisms + appreciations. Life is nothing but experiencing all these positives and negatives boldly.
15. Prayer should not be for getting what ever is asked. It should be for getting whatever we deserve. God will not give rank or distinction in the exams. God can give you courage and blessings to study well and present them well if we are good enough. God can give self confidence, courage and opportunity to develop and progress.
16. Let the parents, teachers and students remember that it is the responsibility of the parents and teachers to spend few hrs every day for making every child good and great.
