Exam is always on

When we were children we had fear for exams. Sometimes paper was easy sometimes difficult. So we have to solve each and every paper to the best of our knowledge and quality. Here the latest thought is everyday is like an exam. Some peoples avoid examinations and hardships during their struggle and opt for favor/short cuts etc. then they definitely in life sometimes face critical examination by the situation.

The life is a complicated subject to discuss. But I am courageous to discuss it in my views. First thing we have to understand that life is a journey of Individual. I am giving one example to understand, if I have to go from Delhi to Mumbai I board a train I book a seat, then in my compartment the fellow passengers joined (its family members) , neighbourhood office colleagues are in same coach and society is in same train. Every body has different time with me to travel to leave me on their stops.  Here one thing we must keep in mind that the husband and wife are co-passenger in journey and they can not interchange seats. Their stops may be different (life expectancy is different for each one) but they feel that its same. So whatever decisions one take, whatever act one do he/she alone responsible for it none other person is responsible. Our aim should be peaceful journey and do act on the works which gives you happiness, If you are happy tha...
