Examination Tension and Homeopathy
Unable to get deserving grades in an examination or interview even after through preparation is a heart breaking incident. But many of our students are facing this dilemma. It is usually the result of anxiety and fear many of us face prior to an examination or interview.
Some of us will get to overcome this fear and anxiety by simple words of encouragement from family, friends and teachers. But a lot many of those who suffer from examination related fear and anxiety need to get counselling and medication.
Over expectation, feeling of insult that is imagined if performance does not match with that of siblings who where shining stars of yesteryear, focusing on results at time when the effort ought to have been better on delivering the acquired knowledge are often the cause of under performance.
Usually a general state of anticipation anxiety contribute to fear of examination.
Parents, teachers and relatives who are unwilling to accept anything other than the best grades pressure kids to feel insecure.
While the words of caution, encouragement and attempts to get the best out of the students is necessary, it is equally important to assure them that they are accepted for what they are and not for measuring up to the expectations we have of them.
There is no point in putting undue and unbearable pressure on kids.
In this era of cut throat competition it is very common place to see parents who are instilling anxiety in children.
In this context two things, one expressed lucidly in BHAGAVAD GEETA , in the discourse between Arjuna and Krishna; and the second one a quote from one of the greatest scientists of our times is worth remembering :
Krishna told a beleaguered Arjuna :
Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma phaleshou kada chana
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani –
Meaning :
– You have the right to perform your actions, but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions. Do not let the fruit be the purpose of your actions, and therefore you won’t be attached to not doing your duty.

And Albert Einstien is quoted as saying
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein
While the best thing to do is to provide a conducive atmosphere for kids to study and excel and at the same time let them have our unflinching support and acceptance.
