Exam Warriors is a great book authored by the present Prime minister of India Narendra Modi which has been dedicated to the youth of New India. Being full of great wisdom, knowledge and matchless expertise its energizing and inspiring content seems influenced by several expert knowledge gurus. The author has brilliantly and skillfully assembled several great mantras to advise great things to his readers. The book is a collection of thirty-four mantras (among which the first twenty-eight are directed towards the students and the next six are for the parents of this country) and many more tips for teachers and other readers.
The book’s chief aim seems to inspire and guide the students skillfully so that they can face their exams and their lives efficiently and more prudently.
The author begins by suggesting that students celebrate the exams like festivals and never let the exam stress bog them down. The exams are only a means to check their current preparation. They are not about the life and death of the students. The students have been brilliantly advised to keep smiling and even laughing during the exam times to keep them in joy and delight. The students are advised to face the exams like warriors and not to present themselves as worriers. The students should aim to pursue the knowledge. Exams are only a means to attain that purpose. The students must know that their biggest competition in this world is with their own selves and not against anyone else. They should know the value of the present and learn how to enjoy every particular moment with self-discipline and diligence. Because the present is God’s great gift for us the students must learn to live “here and now.” The students must also learn to use the technology properly. Technology is a positive force multiplier. Students have every right to get attracted to it. But they must not let themselves become addicted to it which could be dangerous and devastating for them. The students are also brilliantly taught to learn the importance of rest, sleep and play particularly during their exams which is a comparatively stressful time for them. Students are advised to have confidence and believe in themselves. They should take every new test or exam as their own exam and use their methods properly by choosing their own styles of writing, discussion and arguing without any hindrance or fear.
One of the most important suggestions, I think the book shares is that to cheat is to be cheap. Students should prefer defeat over cheating. Human creativity must always prevail over cheating and plagiarism.
Students must also learn the skill to mix themselves with others artfully. They must learn to step out of their comfort zones and play the vital roles that the community or society might expect from them. The students must also be able to create their own opportunities and be the masters of their own destinies. They should also feel grateful to all those who have helped them during their journies like their parents, teachers and all others. The students must pay attention to depression. It is increasing at an alarming rate in our country. Students must learn to express their feelings properly. They must never suppress their feelings that might bring devastating results for them. The students must also know that great goals are those which are within the reach but not easily achievable. This means that hard work is a must for attaining real success in this world.
The author has also shared some valuable suggestions for the parents. They are advised to keep encouraging their children without any breaks. They have to back their wards to achieve the real heights. The parents must learn to become their child’s friend if they are not already. This shall keep the depression away from their children. They must also learn to give freedom to their children to choose their dreams according to their own wills and tastes. Sometimes the parents try to fulfill their own unfulfilled dreams through their children which leads to threatening consequences. The parents must learn to keep their minds open. They must be ready to give and allow feedback from both sides. They must also work together with the teachers of their children to solve all the issues hindering the proper educational growth of their wards.
In conclusion, we might say that Exam Warriors is a great guide for all the students and their parents who are serious about achieving educational success in the real sense. Mr. Prime Minister has also shared a letter of inspiration and affection with the teachers who have been declared as the real gurus of knowledge in this book. Therefore, I think it is a must-read for all lovers of education and knowledge. The great thing about this book is that you can read it in a few hours only and gather knowledge which might be greater than knowledge extracted from many other books put together if you are able to concentrate properly. Then it gives the readers a rare chance to give their feedback and share their own mantras on the Narendra Modi app.
