School failure is a part of life not the end of life

On Saturday, the second failure conclave at DEHRADUN witnessed the presence of some of the eminent people who went to great heights in their life despite witnessing initial hiccups in their lives.The conclave witnessed the presence of featured poet and Padmashree awardee Liladhar Jagudi, retired professor of Physics from NAS College, Meerut, Yogesh Sharma and associate professor Pernell Gooch from University of Sweden. All these people had one thing in common that they all witnessed failure at one point in time during their school lives.Addressing the gathering, Leeladhar Jagudi said that failing is not the end of life and students must not feel bogged down by a failure. He shared he stories from his school in which he told how seldom he used to go to the school. “We would spend time bathing in river or catching fish. I ran away from home at the age of 13 and reached Rajasthan, where I got a part time job as a night watchman. I also enrolled myself in a school where I failed five to six times. But this did not sway me from my quest for knowledge,” said the Padmashree awardee, who is also a globe trotter. Yogesh Sharma said that he failed in Physics in the intermediate exam. “This did not dissuade me. I completed my doctorate in the same subject and went on to become a professor,” boasted Sharma. There are many students who are pursuing PhD in physics under his guidance. Pernell Gooch, said "she had to repeat class when she was in the sixth standard." She then went to Copenhagen to pursue the academics where she married a British Youth. From there they went to Sweden and lived on a farm where they milked the goats for living. It was then that Pernell decided to complete her PhD at the age of 40.The conclave is the brainchild of RLEK chairperson Avdhadh Kaushal. He said "society usually hails those who are achievers and ignore failures. But, that does not mean those fail to clear exams have low IQ or cannot become achievers in future. That's the message we want to give as lakhs of students prepare for the board exams."
