We are in the season of exams, for all those in education, and those who are not we are in the season of asking for supplications to succeed. They are either working hard revising or chilling out thinking that they do not need to revise. We were thinking about tests and wondering why we need tests.

In education tests are in place to make sure that you have learnt the lessons that you have been taught. So the exam is a reflection of your understanding or lack of. If you fail then you cannot progress with your life and you may need to take another route to a job or you may need to resit the subject.

Similarly, the tests of the world are exactly the same. We are given tests to see if we have learnt how to deal with a situation. And if we have learnt to deal with them then we are elevated to a higher grade and this helps us progress. If we fail then we are stuck until we get the message and or get through the test.

So when you face a test know this is your chance to reach another level and pass with flying colours. Don’t curse the test because you think that its too difficult to bear; if you make it then be aware that that you have reached a new level in this lifetime and in the next.............
