Its that time of my life when a set of multiple choice questions decide whether I am worthy of continuing to work or not!! Life can be so cruel sometimes!!
I detest the concept of examination for the simple fact that today’s examinations are strictly memory-centric. There is very little scope for anyone to show one’s talent.
Coming to the point of talent, I’m forced to detest today’s academic system also. Why is there no scope for students to pursue their talents in schools? Students should have the opportunity to explore their talents and if possible make a living out of those talents!! The situation has come to such an position that talent is strictly talent and nothing more. It is not an option for a profession.
I say, if x has a talent for music, then x should probably concentrate on his/her music, get better at it and make a life out of it!! In all probability X will go on to become great at what he/she does!! Not all can be an engineer or doctor and those aren’t the only professions in the world!!
The world throws so many other options at you and yet engineering or medicine seems to be the only ones that are visible? This is gross negligence, short sightedness and ignorance on our part which leads to the world having hoards of people who are in the same profession but have no work, hoards of people who are engineers but who’s have loved to be architects, hoards of doctors who’s have loved to be chefs and businessmen…. The list of woes of such people is never ending!!
This is the pitiable state of our people!! And that brings me back to my first statement “I hate examinations”! I said that because I have one today and its scaring the shit out of me!! I don’t understand how a memory test qualifies me to sit where I am!! But I guess that’s how today’s world is and I guess as long as I live in it I gotta play by its rules!! So gotta rush now!!
A set of questions await my answers!!
