Contemplating On Those Academic Pursuits.....

Hello my friend sukumar794 JI, Hunger for qualification would never end. We learn everyday something, however on emight be older as per birth records. You will laugh, if I disclose that mu hubby who is six yrs older tahn me is even now trying to complete his PG at the age of 71. I fail to understand, what he is going to get. He convinces me by saying ' a self satisfaction' for completing his outastanding job. May God bless You and have a great time.

Hardships and sufferings in my student days has also taught me discipline in my pursuit to get the best out of life. In those we have to pass every exams set by the Government and without getting through any one of them will mean a year of retention unlike now even those who did not pass the exams get automatic promotion to the next class. The quality of academic standards in my country has not shown any improvement as the result of this ruling. I was never a smart student but I studied hard. I managed to scrape through in my exams. Academic education is important but it is not the means to all ends. Each one of us has certain skills, capacities and interests. These constantly change.

It is true that as a student we have targets by way of examinations and have stiff preparations.On a personal level, I have spent many hours of concentrated study and burnt midnight oil even in my work [in fact I feel that this was even more intense than what I did at the time of those wonderful student days-tHen the time and pressure drove us ]because once you get older the love for the subject and pride in your own work[which of course was always there even as a student]set some internal targets .It is because you become your own evaluator and you yourself become your own critic.
