MESSAGES FOR THE FEARLESS EXAMS


MESSAGES FOR THE STUDENTS TO BE  COMMUNICATED  BY THE   PARENTS AND TEACHERS  FEARLESS EXAMINATION WRITING

These are the messages specifically  meant  for  the students which should be given by the  parents and  teachers.  These are only  the directions and guidelines,   which should be understood first and present to the students systematically and customatically. The wordings, the way of presentation, addition of their experiences,  etc should be done by the teachers  and the parents themselves.  Their experiences and the experience of other great and good men also should be incorporated  in the explanations .  The ultimate aim of the narration is to build  self confidence in the students  and remove the  fear  complex. Explanations should be in simple words,   in  low voice, in a casual way without  much seriousness  and with a pleasant facial expression and voice, attractive like story telling.  Total duration of the presentation / discussion can be  limited to 2 hrs as such or as parts in  few days in  different classes or occasions.  Few points should be repeated and make the students repeat the same .  Tell the students  the following points  ( need not be in the order given).

 Start by saying that "all the modern scholars and professionals in the world  who have received the  school and college education  have written  examination as the part of their education. So there is nothing  unusual in facing the exams".

1.    Everyone who writes the exam will have fear complex which is  common at any  level.

2.    Even those who are   contesting for election will  have a fear complex including prime minister and president.

3.    The parents and teachers also should explain   their experience in the  school and college days.

4.    They should explain the  privileges of the lucky  students studying in the modern   academic institutes. And    also the   fate of the under privileged poor children  begging in the streets or working in the   factories for a meager  salary.

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.

17.  The parents should remember that   their child is spending every working day only 7 hrs  with the teacher in the school among 40 – 50 students. But their one or two children live with them almost 15 -17 hrs during each working day and almost full time during the  holidays.  The teachers can make the student great, but the  parents should make  the child good and great. The parents brought the child to this world without their request. So start  giving nutritious food for the body  and give good messages + experiences + stories with the message  from the age of 3

18.  Remind everyone that  none is  permanent  in this world. Everyone  will be here only for about 80 yrs or so.  How long we are living is less important . How we are living is more important. That is the realization of the truth of  life. In this journey of life, the studies, exams,  marks, ranks, etc are only small parts. They are not  the challenges  of life and death in our life.

19.  Let  the teachers and parents devote small part of their  time, energy and knowledge  for making  each student good  leading them to greatness. Let there be the integration of science and spirituality,  modern and ancient, logical + rational + scientific experienceable and experimentable knowledge in  every teacher, parent and student. 

20.  Our prayer and blessing of our motherland to all teachers and parents
