Students are not Machines

 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬


When we reach the age of 7 to 8 years, we are forced by our parents to learn the tricks and ways of achieving success. We are put in a world of competition; our parents tend to make us the machines that can only understand the language of success. We are not taught the lessons of failure, that one day we can fail also.


 Parents’ high expectations of their children in the educational field have become one of the normal things in our society. Patents’ unrealistic expectations of their children lead their children to stress and anxiety. Students’ lives are being put at risk by compelling them to achieve what their parents desire.


It is awful that parents think that getting maximum marks in exams is a sign of success. They covet their children to be "marks machines," but they don’t even look at the priorities and skills of their children. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, parents decide the future of their children; children are forced in the selection of fields. When children don’t achieve the anticipated level of grades and position, then parents feel unhappy and downhearted. Relationships between parents and children become miserable because of unrealistic and high expectations.


Parents need to take care of their children when they don’t achieve the expected grades and ranks in a competition. Parents should not criticize them in such situations, but should give them incentive and motivation that getting low marks in exams is not the end of their life.


Many students secured low scores and failed instead of strenuous efforts in the recently held PMC MDCAT exam. Now the failed students need motivation and support from their parents in such a situation. Parents ought to realize them that if they do not pass the concerned exam, they will get other opportunities in life to be successful in the future.

Library; the place of wisdom

 We, human beings, dwell with different domains in various departments and places of the world. Every single person on earth has different spots of happiness and pleasure. Some people feel comfortable inside the walls, while many others feel happy outside the walls and boundaries. Every place in this world has its own significance for living in its cradle. Some places are bound to avail calmness, tranquility and peace, while other places insure you liveliness through different pleasant and unpleasant sounds, uproars and clamors. Though we, human beings are free to choose our own habitat, yet, I choose to spend exquisite moments of my life in a place where thirsty and curious os souls for knowledge are fed with wisdom, enlightenment, reasoning and rationality, this place is known as the library.
