Exam Tips by Narendra Modi

PM Narendra Modi's 'Mann ki Baat' for the students preparing for exams in February 2015:

    The brighter your future is, the brighter India will be.
    My wishes are with you as you (students) will shape the future of the country.
    Success should be for your personal happiness and not to compete with anyone.
    I want to say to those who are going to appear in examination to treat it like a festival. Every child of this nation must be happy. Write the exam happily, with a smile on your face. I am sure you will do well.
    Parents should not immediately ask their children as to how their exams went.
    Life has its ups and downs, nobody drowns because of that.
    Don't be disheartened with bad results.
    You should have enough confidence that you will do well in the examination.
    Believe in the knowledge that you posses. Your efforts will not go in vain. Have faith on what you have studied.
    If you have expertise and have worked hard, then it will not go in vain.
    Be warriors not 'worriers'.
    Don't take examination as a challenge, take it as an opportunity to know yourself.
    PM Modi gives example of a cricket batsman to explain things to students. "A good batsman is thinking about the ball he is facing not about the match, or series. He is thinking about the present," he says.
    You should become your own guide. One who becomes his own guide touches new heights.
    You should set a standard for yourself and test yourself against them, why compare yourself with others.
    There are some students that work on new targets each day, with a new vision and new energy.
    Girls excel in academics these days even though they help their mothers at home during examinations.
    I understand that doing well in examinations is important but sometimes we think too much about the future or are lost in the past. Can't do that during exam time. We need to be in the present.
    If you want to compete, you should compete with your own self and not with others. Let today be better than yesterday.
    Comparison with others sometimes bogs students down.
    The pressure from relatives and friends puts a lot of strain on the students to perform. Parents are always worried about what their relatives will think.
    PM Modi suggests students not to take examinations as a burden and stress themselves while preparing for the exams.
