Author’s note:

Examination in our education system is mainly a memory test. Memory is important, but it is not everything to be successful in life. Our system given label of ‘failure’ to millions of students across the country every year when results of exam are out. Thanks to our system, the amount of frustration, the students, their parents, siblings and others suffer at such occasion is unimaginable. Here are couple of paragraphs on Anupam Kher’s words of wisdom on failure:

“When you come from a small town to a big city, everything dwarfs you,” he confessed, then narrating how his dad, though, had taken away his fear of failure at a young age. His school in Shimla had a way of promoting students from class 10 to class 11 before their final tests were declared (Later, if they had not passed, they would be demoted). One day his father came to school, and took him to the expensive Alpha cafe for a meal, and Anupam was wondering what they were celebrating. His dad then told him he had failed class 10, but he wanted him not to fear failure, it was ‘nothing to worry about’, hence the costly meal. And so, he said, “My father took away my fear of failure at the age of 16.” Failure is full of possibilities…! (Anupam later passed BA in Economics, third class with 30%)
