Marks
are just an index of what one was successful enough to produce during the
examination. Examinations could indirectly be termed memory tests where what is
being measured is the students' capacity to memorize points and reproduce it in
the paper, than the true potential of the student. Stressing yourself over a
piece of paper with a bunch of numbers on them is hence foolish. For this fact
alone, judging a student based on his or her marks is meaningless and
derogatory.
Given the fact that your marks don't matter to a large extent, the way it is being propagated on social media is downright stupid.
Grades are secondary, given you are really talented. But extraordinarily talented students are rare gems. In the season of CBSE results, parents, teachers, friends, stand-up comedians might lecture on how grades are not important, but that's mostly because most of them don't want to dishearten you. In an ideal world, where we'd like to live, your marks won't matter. But in the real world, your marks do matter. Marks are the fruit of the labour for students who had put in great hard work and is not something that should be denied by patronizing social media updates.
Your marks do matter but don't let them define your future. Believing that marks are everything and will decide your career, your growth, your life is not true. The essential truth is somewhere in between. Marks are your entry ticket to the platforms where you get to showcase your skills. Top colleges in India provide you that platform. Getting good grades matter in that context.
There are a lot of successful people couldn't make it to top colleges but most students who went there went on to become successful in their lives. In this context, it is better to rephrase, "marks don't matter", to "average grades is not the end of the world."
Average grades is not be the end of the world, if you are successful enough to navigate through this difficult world. So, it may be fair to say - if you have average or low grades you are required to be smart, extremely hard working, nimble and self learning, risk-taker, and hard-shelled to be successful.
Every coin has two sides. There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that you were not capable to score up to your expectations but the good news is that there are more important battles and examinations ahead. As someone had said, failure is the stepping stone to success. Someone who hasn't failed in some tiny battles early on in their life, someone who hasn't reached the rock bottom, will never know how to win the war later.
So never lose heart
