3 idiots

As students, we should never chase for the ranks. Competition is a silly game that eats us from within. Getting higher grades than our classmates doesn’t prove our intelligence, it doesn’t make us smart. Studying for the sake of getting “uno” isn’t studying at all. That’s pressuring ourselves. We should study for the sake of learning. We might fail at times but the most important thing there is the fact that we've learned a thing or two. Hard work is of course a vital ingredient of being a student but the motivation for that hard work should always be because we want to learn. Motivations should always be good and selfless.  We study not for the sole purpose of proving ourselves better than the others, not because we want to be on top or because we want a display of medals and trophies to brag about to our friends. Rather, we should study because we know we have the potential of gaining knowledge and sharing whatever it is we’ve learned to other people we will meet along the way.
