India-KXIP fan Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Some comments on page reek of hate/jealousy even though they try cover it up. Already comparing achievements, themselves with someone in school. Others are clearly just cheeky trolls :--D Hate the strong. Support the underdog. Human nature. But I bet the guy couldn't give less a fark what people say. Great achievement. Must have beaten heaps to get this? :hatsoff: ^^true.I studied as much as I could :nice:
moniker Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 GabbbarSingh @GabbbarSingh Sarthak Agrawal, the All India CBSE topper is on St Stephen's Admission waiting list. Well done Education! Wow!!! We really need an overhaul of the Education System. Ironically, it shouldn't be that much of a surprise if a topper doesn't get a sureshot seat. Shouldn't just be based on the academics. If his interview didn't go well then I can understand him being on the wait list, topper or not. But the issue here is having quotas everywhere that's wrecking up the education system.

He should be able to do the job on it though. :nice: Though I personally feel interviews should be for jobs only not to get into uni/college.

Why don't you try to reply to specific points raised by the people here instead of going on a typical ad-homenium rant and calling people names?

CSK Fan Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 What do you expect from Indians ? Jealousy and insecurity reeks from every pore in their body. They can never imagine achieving even close to what this guy achieved' date=' so they have to put him down in some way. Mediocrity/incompetence is what Indians are known for.[/quote'] What achievement is mugging up a class X book? We pride ourselves on such useless achievements and forget to give our kids real skills in life. We have had toppers right from the beginning of time, what have they achieved for the country? Where are the greatest scientists, the businessmen, the path breakers out of these? Marks are a stepping stone and not an achievement. It gives you a start in life but you should be celebrated when you use that start to achieve something Despite not having the best academics, US has some of the best innovators and path breakers in the world and our toppers go and work for them If you think people are jealous because some kid's photo will be in the newspaper for 2 days and then forgotten for ever, then you are mistaken. I am just sad at the over hype of an academic achievement as some sort of success in life when life begins after academics. If Indians want to get somewhere they have to get their priorities right. I have seen no other countries making marks as such a parameter of success instead of real achievements in life. That is not the point of education In fact your post clearly shows why Indians are known for mediocrity and incompetence, because we have our priorities wrong and we celebrate such useless landmarks instead of real achievements. People think they have already 'achieved' things when they got their marks, so they slack off later in life, rest on their academics and do not work hard. If tomorrow someone comes up with a method to change the lives of millions or invents a new thing, he will not even get the same coverage a person getting certain "marks" will get

CSK Fan Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Some points from an interesting article I read which talks about how the rich, who make it big, think differently which might relate to this topic http://in.askmen.com/career/1095882/article/how-rich-people-think Rich People Believe In Acquiring Specific Knowledge ... while average people think the road to riches is paved with formal education. "Many world-class performers have little formal education, and have amassed their wealth through the acquisition and subsequent sale of specific knowledge," Siebold writes. "Meanwhile, the masses are convinced that master's degrees and doctorates are the way to wealth, mostly because they are trapped in the linear line of thought that holds them back from higher levels of consciousness ... The wealthy aren't interested in the means, only the end." Rich People Teach Their Kids To Get Rich ... while average people teach their children how to survive.

On the point of "Rich People Believe In Acquiring Specific Knowledge", I read something in the book Outliers (or maybe it was The Tipping Point, I don't remember exactly) by Malcolm Gladwell - he was giving reasons for why children from affluent families (in America) are more prepared to face the world, much more confident, and have a varied skill set as compared to children from poor families - its because their parents are very highly involved in their education and take care to see that their children don't have much free time to waste or to go into drugs/crime etc. Even during the holidays they send their children to swimming/tennis/music classes etc to make sure that they not only learn these things but also to make sure that they don't have time to waste. And most importantly, right from a young age they teach their children to be assertive and not be afraid to ask for anything - this makes them very confident as adults.
Straight Drive Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 99.6%. Amazing. Great result for the kiddo.

CSK Fan Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Another Indian topper, this time in the UK http://www.deccanchronicle.com/140824/world-europe/article/indian-origin-boy-hailed-brightest-student-britain An Indian-origin student, who scored a perfect five in his main subjects with 100 per cent marks across the board, is being hailed as the brightest student in Britain. Asanish Kalyanasundaram achieved the highest possible grades in maths, physics, chemistry, biology and critical thinking as part of the five main subjects required at A Levels in Britain. The 18-year-old, who simply says he is "delighted" with his score, is now off to Cambridge University in October to study medicine. He is considering becoming a surgeon but has not decided the branch of medicine he would like to specialise in. Another Indian doctor :cantstop:
