MarKS or KnOWledGE ??

I pity the students who sit for hours together and mug up chapters just for the sake of few meaningless numbers that will be printed on a paper that's obtained from our nature!
Do we ever think what we are learning from this so called, " EDUCATION " ?
We carry kilos of books everyday and in the end we only try to remember the things we mug up, just to pen them down on a paper in an examination.Our future is dependent on these stupid figures which can only get us a degree in some reputed institution, but not " QUALITY EDUCATION " .
Assuming that I'm being criticized for calling our marks as stupid figures, and someone is ready to state that these marks are indeed the outcome of quality education. In that case i have to mention few facts that most of us are aware of!
If Albert Einstein or Thomas Alva Edison had worked on their grades, then today's physics would not have existed.There are numerous examples to show that marks are totally different from the knowledge that we gain.I do not say that marks are meaningless.What i intend to say is that marks are important but knowledge is ultimate and that has to be our destiny.

Now that the exam heat is up, everyone is busy studying and aiming for great marks.
My advice is that please aim for knowledge and marks shall follow suit!

All the best for your exams !!
