Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, and Well-wishers,
I want to tell you that I salute the uniqueness of each one of you and respect your individuality. I firmly believe that no one is perfect and that imperfection is alright. The student life is an enjoyable journey of making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. In our pursuit of excellence, we often forget that it’s okay to make mistakes, to stumble, and to learn from our failures.
We live in a world where marks and grades are often seen as the ultimate measure of success. We’re constantly told that if we don’t get good grades, we won’t get into a good college, we won’t get a good job, and we won’t be successful. But I’m here to tell you that this is simply not true.
Marks do not define your worth as a person. They do not decide your future or your destiny. What matters most is not the grades you get, but the person you become. What matters most is not the marks you score, but the lessons you learn.
Life is about so much more than just fetching marks. It’s about exploring your passions, pursuing your dreams, and making a positive impact on the world. It’s about building meaningful relationships, learning from your mistakes, and growing as a person.
So, I urge you all to remember that you are unique, you are important and you are in this universe with some purpose. So find out the purpose of your life. And in doing so you may stumble. It’s okay to make mistakes. Because it’s in those moments of imperfection that we learn, that we grow, and that we become better versions of ourselves.
Let’s not get so caught up in the pursuit of perfection that we forget to enjoy the journey. Let’s not get so focused on fetching marks that we forget to live life to the
fullest. Let’s not get so focused on short term success that we forget to find the purpose of life.
Nelson Mandela rightly said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
So, let’s rise above the pressure to be perfect. Let’s rise above the stress of fetching marks. And let’s remember life and the purpose of life is more important than any grade or score.
