Numbers.
There's more than one way to Judge a person.
It's usually around this time of year that students start getting anxious. Worrying about what comes ahead. Finals done, careers full steam ahead, and more importantly, the rest of their life hinging on this supposed last piece in a big puzzle yet to be complete.
If you look back at it, it's quite funny building a human for the first 21-25 years of their life, and telling them that those years were fundamental to their eternal well being. It's shocking that we're all ranked in numerical grading and order, compared to one another, with nothing separating us but percentages. But what happened to being unique? Why is it so important that the only thing you have to show for yourself is a number, and not an individual.
By no means am I to tell you that your education isn't important, but it's not the be all and end all of your existence on this planet. There's a bigger picture, and many more pages to your story, triumphs; big and small, battles; lost and glory, and people; love and fall. With average life expectancy at 85 years, you have 60 years of your life ahead of you. What you achieve or don't achieve now, will not shape each and every day of your life to come.
It's reported that only 27% of people get jobs in what they graduate in... So that tells you that it's not everything. You are shaped by yourself, the person you become is the person you build yourself to be, the dream you have can only be achieved by you, no one is going to out there and work for you to achieve it, apart from yourself.
When you get your result, think of it as a building block in a bridge. Just one block, and trust me when I say this - a whole bridge won't collapse given the presence or absence of a single block.
Think of it as a brush stroke, because many masterpieces are made up of a million and one strokes, and not determined on one.
And finally - think of a fish.
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it's stupid" - Albert Einstein.
Last but not least..... Good Luck ;)
