Imagine yourself traveling from your University/College to your home after graduating. I'm telling you to imagine this, since this is probably time for carrying all the things to your home. Although you'll be visiting back, but practically, never for a prolonged duration. Now, if I tell you that no matter how hard you try, you aren't going to reach home. Depending on your capability, circumstances, luck and everything else, maximum you can cover is 80% or 90%. So suppose you are studying in Mumbai and stay in Goa, no matter what you do, you'll end up in Raigad or Ratnagiri, at the most Sindhuduraga. How would you feel?? You aren't going to reach Goa. Never. Not today, not tomorrow. You'll never reach. This is how I feel when I get a report card or grade sheet or rather after every result. I feel incomplete. Its not that I always try my best, rather, there are times I don't even try getting anything, for I know I'm reaching nowhere.
Coming to some other aspects, I wonder how admissions are given solely on the basis of some scores- on entrance exam scores these days! Do we value other skills? There might be a guy in your class who must be good at sports, or probably in some arts like drawing, singing, playing musical instruments, or might even be having exceptional experimental skills. There must be a guy who must be good in managing some small things, events, etc. There must be a guy who is just average at everything he does, like managing events, studies, sports, everything but nothing exceptionally well- a jack of all trades. But our society weighs everything on scales like %, gpa, CTC,.......
I wonder how these things will evolve. I have absolutely no idea how things will change for betterment. And by that time, we'll loose a hell lot of people, good people, who could have come up with their creative minds, revolutionized our world, solved our day to day problems.
We deliberately make people impatient in our educational systems. For instance, students are tested and are made to wait for results for a certain time, wherein they are made anxious, results are then declared. Everyone knows that at some time results would be declares, known. If you focus on results of research, or development of an organization, there is a considerable uncertainty. You might end up at a place with no specific results to show, to prove, and here's where patience plays a role. Aren't we skipping this important part from our curriculum? There are several other anecdotes I can state.
I feel this world is some kind of jugaad, wherein everything works fine, and people move on with the things without giving much thoughts to anything, just living their lives, rather surviving and not actually living. Things will change for sure, but, by that time, people like me might lose patience, would probably lose positive thinking, might get depressed, start living normal lives, start being mean for others won't let them live.
Its all going to change. "Survival of the fittest". Evolution is certain.
Till then, I wish you luck, to live your lives, play with beautiful numbers like GRE/TOEFL/IELTS/GATE/JEE/GPA/%........and what not unending scores as well as some other mind-blowing numbers like CTCs, age, 1/2/3/4BHKs, 2/4wheelers, ........
