Happy Examinations
Happiness is your last exam paper

Dear Children,

During this period, your Principal and teachers must have given you ample valuable suggestions and guidance, and inspiring messages to boost up your confidence. My first suggestion to you is, accept their advice with grace; for I know, they sincerely wish the best for all of you.

Time is precious and now that the examination is fast approaching, it has become very precious! All through the year, you may have been giving a step motherly treatment to the syllabus. But now the month of March is approaching - it is the 'testing time' for you. Even at this stage, if you realise the true worth of your inherent power, without doubt you can give a spectacular performance in your exams!

Draw your time-table, budget your time according to the importance of the subjects, and make the best use of the hours and minutes, which are now in short-supply.

The tongue is wagging desperately to learn so many things by heart. Yet, you are unable to grasp the meaning of what you have read! You sincerely wish to concentrate, but cannot! It wanders in tens of directions. What do you do then? In fact, in the real sense, this lack of concentration is the basic problem with you students. This is the root cause of all your difficulties!

So, according to me, it is not enough to give you merely the suggestion, "Concentrate! Make proper resolutions! Be brilliant among the brilliants etc.” The proper suggestion would be- How to concentrate? How to unfold brilliance? How to be enthusiastic from within? How to read the syllabus with concentration and dedication? You need to know such a procedure through which such qualities can grow and bloom in your heart; you get the sparkle from within!
