Is academic excellence a true measure of one's success in life? Is there a correlation between successful people and the marks they secured in their academic career? Companies are reported to have decided not to take top rankers because they were found to have tunnel vision.

It is true that hardly any country is run by rank holders. It is those who dabbled in much more than mere academics, who seem to fit the job. So what is the big deal? We often forget to tell our youngsters that the achievements of great men and women stood on the foundation of the mistakes they made in their formative years.

Behind Winston Churchill's perfection lay a history of failures. By making a student walk the tightrope of tough time schedules, stressful assignments and anxiety-ridden counselling sessions. we not only rob them of the fun of childhood but also cause damage to their social, mental and physical well-being.

The present system leaves them no room to err. Error, however is the backyard of perfection for it is by learning from mistakes that we become better and brighter individuals. There are limits to the child’s elasticity - stretch him too far and he could snap. Ten years down the line, it won’t matter which college one went to or how much one scored. Don't we all know what qualities matter at the stage of life? All that goes into building one's character or personality is acquired in the course of day-to-day life and not by scoring high marks in examinations.
