Agree. I had 13 marks in Maths in Class 10, not even passing marks!!! This hasn't stopped me from becoming what I am today. Life is a different calculation all together, 13 in Maths has no value today.

Totally agree with you on this. Formal academic evaluation is highly overrated. Here is my 12th marksheet. I quit formal education soon after. Today I run a company that manufactures critical components for the Oil & Gas industry. Life has been my biggest teacher. pic.twitter.com/reB9J9qatS

A friend of mine sent me your post. At first, I didn't consider it. So, I typed "Nitin Sangwan IAS" to confirm it.
To me your underlined "mark of Chem." is more effective,guidable, motivational and reliable than hours of seminar by motivational speakers.Thank you very much,sir!. pic.twitter.com/Q2WBCpTKO0

Very well said sir, very inspiring. The first and foremost thing is someone need to change our Indian education system which mass produces machines, brain less machines. This system is killing and spoiling many dreamers and their dreams. Above that parents pressurize their kids.
