Author and entrepreneur, Ankur Warikoo on Wednesday again shared his Class 12 CBSE marksheet on Instagram to highlight that academic scores don't determine one’s future success. Warikoo, known for bestselling books like Do Epic Shit and Make Epic Money, revealed he had scored just 57 out of 100 in English, giving out the message to young students that marks aren't everything.

While sharing his marksheet on Facebook, Warikoo wrote, “I scored 57 in English in my Class 12th board exams. Today I get invited by top companies and colleges across the world to address their employees and students. I scored 93 in chemistry. And never touched the subject in my life again. I scored 87 in physics, pursued it until I realised that's not what I wanted to do. During that time I felt my marks are going to define my entire life.”

He further added that things are going to be fine even after not getting the best score possible. “And I am sure you feel the same way today. I understand. I hear you. I see you. And if there is only one thing that I would love for you to know - it is this: It's going to be ok. You are going to be ok. As long as you have yourself, you are going to be ok. Don't ever give up on yourself,” he wrote.

Internet Reacts

Several internet users responded to his post by sharing their own experiences. “Beautiful message! Don’t let your grades or marks determine your self-worth. It’s disheartening to see students placing themselves under extreme pressure to score high marks. It’s high time parents and students realize that scoring low marks or even failing an exam is not the end of the world. Don't unalive yourself over this, kids!” wrote one of the Facebook users.

Disagreeing to Warikoo’s point, another user wrote, “I don't fully agree, you have done some preparation for the exam and hence you could score those marks. As you mentioned you scored 93 in Chemistry, so must had prepared and studied for that, or else the score wouldn't have achieved. You may not have continued the studies of those subjects, but that habit of study & preparation remains forever. So marks do count.”

“Your journey is inspiring! It proves that grades don't define your future. Life is more about finding your true passion and listening to what resonates with you. Keep believing in yourself, and never lose sight of your dreams!” wrote a third user.
