HOW STUDENTS FAIL EXAMINATIONS


          The rate at which students, fail in examination is becoming alarming ; something has to be done about it. But before we can do something about it, we need to know the causes. Let us therefore look at some of them.
           It has been discovered that some students fail because they fail to attend classes. They will leave their homes in the morning pretending to be going to school. They then go to various places where they carry out many activities like Playing computer games, smoking, etc. 

 
Some of them engaging in gambling, betting etc.

        What does a student who does not attend classes will write down in an examination? Such students do not have anything to write down. Eventually they will fail.
         Another thing that accounts for some student's failure in examination is lack of concentration in class. Some students attend classes quite alright but, their minds are not on the lessons being taught. While lessons are not going on, they may be thinking of what games they are going to engage in. They may even be busy in the classroom reading junk. Some will be busy playing one prank or the other.
          Yet, some students who have been quiet serious get to the examination hall and misinterpret questions. This may be Because of poor knowledge of English language. Once the question have been misunderstood, the answers given by such students will be totally wrong.
             There are some students who fail unnecessary because they are afraid. These students get into examination room and they become so upset that they cannot remember what they know. They become so frightened that they are unable to solve problems which, before the examination they could solve very easily. The knowledge of these candidates is not properly tested. They fail because of fear.

The Power of Small Acts: How Everyday Kindness Can Change Society

   In a world filled with big problems, many people feel powerless. Poverty, stress, emotional struggles, and social division seem too large for any one person to fix. Because of this, people often believe that only major actions can create real change. But society is not only shaped by big decisions. It is shaped daily by small human actions — the ones we often overlook. Why Small Actions Are Ignored Modern society celebrates big achievements. Large donations, major projects, and public success stories receive attention and praise. Meanwhile, small acts of kindness go unnoticed. Holding a door, checking on someone, listening patiently — these are rarely recognized as meaningful contributions. Over time, people begin to underestimate their value. This creates a dangerous belief: “If I can’t do something big, I might as well do nothing.” But this is not true. The Ripple Effect of Kindness Every small act creates a ripple effect. When someone experiences kindness, they...

WHEN SOCIETY NORMALIZED PAIN AND CALLED IT STRENGTH

  Somewhere along the way, our society learned a dangerous habit: we started calling pain “strength” and silence “maturity.” People are expected to endure, to move on quickly, to stay quiet, and to survive without complaint. If someone speaks about their struggles, they are often told to “be strong,” “stop overthinking,” or “focus on the positive.” While these words may sound supportive, they often dismiss real pain instead of understanding it. This is how emotional suffering becomes invisible. The Silent Rule We All Follow There is an unspoken rule in society: Don’t show weakness. From a young age, many are taught to hide tears, suppress emotions, and solve problems alone. Over time, this creates individuals who look fine on the outside but feel deeply exhausted inside. They keep going, not because they are okay, but because stopping feels unacceptable. Pain doesn’t disappear when ignored. It simply learns how to stay quiet. When Pain Becomes Normal What happens when a s...

WHY KINDNESS FEELS RARE IN A TIRED SOCIETY

  There was a time when kindness felt natural. People greeted each other warmly, listened patiently, and helped without expecting anything in return. Today, kindness feels rare — not because people are bad, but because society is tired. We live in a world that moves too fast and demands too much. Everyone is rushing somewhere, carrying invisible burdens, fighting silent battles. In such a society, kindness often becomes a casualty of exhaustion. A Society Running on Empty Modern life rewards productivity, speed, and achievement. From morning to night, people are pushed to do more, earn more, and become more. Rest is delayed. Emotions are postponed. Humanity is put on hold. When people are constantly tired — emotionally and mentally — patience becomes thin. Small inconveniences feel heavy. Empathy feels like extra work. Kindness, which requires awareness and presence, slowly fades. This does not mean people don’t care anymore. It means many are overwhelmed. When Survival Repl...
