If you want to focus more, you have to learn how to DE-FOCUS. If you want to keep filling a vessel, you also need to know how to empty it,” says Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his ‘Pariksha Par Charcha’ programme held at Delhi’s Talkatora stadium.
The Prime Minister during his interaction with the students addressed various issues faced by them during exam days.
Modi, who went down the memory lane, gave students examples from his own life and said that even in his exam days he went for a dip in the village pond every day. He said that it is extremely important for us to be in touch with the five basic elements .
Students asked different questions, ranging from reasons behind not being able to concentrate, role of electronic gadgets to internet being responsible for hampering the concentration levels. The Prime Minister had some really interesting answers for the inquisitive students.
Modi gave students possibly all the mantras to deal with exam stress but what came as a surprise was when a student asked him a question which made our Prime Minister go through ‘Pariksha’ instead.
The student asked Modi, how would he as the Prime Minister of the nation prepare for his exam in the Lok Sabha elections next year. The question made everyone burst into laughter but not only did Modi laugh at the witty question but he also came up with a chucklesome reply.
PM Modi told the student that had he been his teacher, he would have encouraged him to take up Journalism because only journalists ask questions which leave you topsy-turvy.
Question to PM, 'how are you preparing since you'll also be facing an exam in the form of Lok Sabha elections next year?' PM answers, 'if I was your teacher I would've guided you to take up journalism kyuki aise lapet ke sawal journalists hi puchte hain.' pic.twitter.com/wLJ7wxPxQ2
