Every test just a bend in the path
The HSC results are out. As students rejoice or suffer heartbreak over their marksheets, what message would you like to send them?
Right now, and for about the next six years, your brain is primed to learn, grow, strengthen and help you become whatever you want to be. Don’t worry if you don’t yet know what that is. There’s time for that. In the meantime, be open to new things — people, places, experiences, adventures, ideas — and see which ones feel right.
Everybody has it in them to be great at something. Don’t let a test, an assessment, a person, a mistake or a bad grade tell you anything different.
You have incredible power to open all sorts of doors and shape the life you want. This power is yours and nobody can take it from you. It’s yours regardless of the marks you get. You can’t even know the doors you’ll open, and you’ll find the way to open them whether you get the grades you want or not. You don’t have to have it all figured out just yet.
Your path will be crooked, unexpected and beautiful, which is exactly the way it should be. Don’t let any of the bends or detours change your belief in your own potential, or the wonderful depth and richness of you.
Devanshi Maheshwari sion to a top college shouldn’t make anyone depressed.
All the colleges will teach you the same thing, and finally it’s the university from which you get the degree.
Focus, study well and make a career out of what you love. Don’t forget to take part in the extracurricular activities in college. These will help you make memories.
For those who couldn't pass the exams, just remember that failure is not the end.
Start preparing for the next exam and meanwhile perhaps enrol in a diploma courses that interests you.
Abdulla Mansoor Das despair. That is the rule of life. We cannot perform at our best all the time.
Congratulate all those who have done well. After a few days, analyse your performance and move on. Life will test you with several exams over time. Some you will win , some you will lose. Share your pain and agony with friends, relatives or a counsellor.
For the parents, remember you have given birth to your child and not to a marksheet. Hug your child whatever the results. Announce the results and never feel ashamed of your child.
Do not avoid your child nor criticize him or her publicly.
