The title itself clarifies the most things but some will be like huh… what problem will a student face in this advanced technological era where everything is provided to them before they even ask?? So my friend this article is for you. Let me start from the beginning where every elder describes their school journey as hard as a journey to Mt. Everest like we don't even have any problem in our life. Just because we have a school vehicle to take us to school and return us home or because we study in a well-renounced school near our home does not mean we don't have any problem.

Now let me prove my point on behalf of all the fellow students. It is true that now we have reduced syllabus as compared to the previous generation and we don't have to cross a river on our way to school but let me ask you, have you seen a student of KG and their bags??, they are a lot times heavier than their own weight! We are expected to memorize every single line of a book and don't forget about the main thing, “ Sharmaji ka beta”(Mr Sharma’s Son) who always and always come in between your conversation with your parents, who ace in all exams and is an all-rounder while you are just a poor guy with some average marks. The thing is we are compared to someone else in every aspect of our journey as a student which was not the case before. Today most students are suffering from mental health problems like anxiety, eye problems even depression because they are made to believe that if they don't succeed in this way they have no future… but let me tell you, you are not alone. Every person in their life have at least once experienced failure even the most renounced personalities like Sir Elva Edison to Elon Musk have but they became successful because they learn from their mistakes.

I truly agree with the fact that there is a lot of competition within a particular area of work but that doesn't mean that we should waste our precious student life competing for something that we never truly desired for. Enjoy the process of being a man you someday will be proud of. Don't give your future self a chance to regret, be yourself, learn from others failure and yours too, be happy for what God has given you and lastly stop following the crowd blindly. DO WHAT YOU TRULY LIKE!!
