OH NO !! It's exam time , i haven't revised or bought assessment books ! What if i fail ?!
Before you start picking up your textbooks and flipping through frantically , pause for a moment . Breathe in the still air . Listen to the birds twittering outside .
think - why do we panic / faint / have anxiety over examinations ?
It may be that we panic just because others do ! It is quite difficult to not want to be like others . Unconsciously , all of us are actually " copycats " of each other . For example , why do we brush other teeth every morning ? There is no law that punishes people for not brushing their teeth .
Then why do we still take the trouble to do something not enforced upon us ? It's because we've grown up in a place where society hates people with stinky breath in the morning .
Similarly , we might want to score a certain grade just because others are doing so . Such a goal can become too unrealistic and does not meet our needs .
Therefore , seek not comformity but self-improvememt . Remember , there is one and only person you're going to compete against - yourself !
