Exams will not define you
Dear student reading this blog post,
I just wanted to take the time to wish you the very best of luck for this year’s exams.
Please keep the following in mind:
Doing badly in an exam is not the end of the world. Exams do not and will not define your future success in life or (more importantly) your happiness.
Be kind to yourself. You can always (in theory) study more, revise more efficiently, read more cases. However, in truth, there is both a physical and a psychological limit and your body/mind will start complaining when you cross it. Listen to its voice.
Try to enjoy this period of time and the exam process, if at all possible. View exams as your opportunity to showcase your hard work, not as a make-or-break moment.
Keep calm and carry on. This too shall pass and you will only emerge stronger and more experienced.
Best of luck,
Dimitrios
