Success in life is measured by self-awareness and knowledge, which brings maturity and growth. However, in the context of student life, success is often mistakenly equated with the marks obtained on a result sheet. In reality, these scores have limited value in shaping practical life outcomes. Measuring success solely by grades rarely equips students with real-world challenges.
Under the pressure of parents and societal expectations, students often resort to unethical methods—cheating, writing answers on their palms, or sneaking in notes during exams. When these actions are exposed, the student faces embarrassment. Yet, such behavior stems not from malice, but from the overwhelming focus on securing good grades.
Interestingly, children labeled as "unfocused" or "weak in studies" demonstrate remarkable focus when they attempt to cheat. Their fear of failure pushes them to find ways to succeed by any means necessary. This raises an important question: Can a child who displays such determination truly be considered weak? The problem lies not in their capability, but in the misguided approach they adopt to achieve their goals.
As teachers and parents, it is essential to instill strong moral values in children. We must help them understand that exams are not just about obtaining high marks, but about honestly evaluating their knowledge and skills. True literacy and success are measured by how well they can apply this knowledge in real-life situations.
