True Success

Success is a common word about which all have heard of, but we believe that only a few people get to be successful. We often leave everything behind and run behind success, and we often picture success as a medal in the neck or signing autographs, however that is not real success. Real success is not only hitting the target. It is what we get as a fruit. In this post, I am going to take an example of schools and students. Now, even in school, there is a ranking system and most parents want their child/children to surpass the class; but, never realize that their child is not learning anything or enjoying the process of learning. They keep pressurizing children who then come under the impression that they are losers if they don’t top the class. And if you are under pressure and are not happy doing something, you’ll never be able to do it. By this, they do not learn anything but keep learning the concepts for the sake of it, but don’t know, rather don’t care to understand, why it is being taught, or what the real-life applications of it are. After they enter the real world they will regret having done that and will think what was the whole point of their “success”. Instead, if the parents tell them to enjoy the process of learning, and develop them in the field they are interested in, they would be able to get a job or be successful in that area. Our world is biased towards exams but reality can do a u-turn. Parents have to understand how reality is and why being the first in all exams doesn’t always mean success.

I would like to conclude by saying that I the idea to write this from my friend in 2018. Most of them said that their parents would punish them if they don’t get more than 90 marks in all subjects. I never got the logic of that and that’s why I wrote this. Bye!
