Author Chetan Bhagat recently posted a tweet directed to students saying how a piece of paper cannot define them. He also shared his CBSE Class 10 mark sheet that marked him as an average student. He explained how glad he is that he did not let his class 10 marks affect him. Before becoming an author, Bhagat worked as a banker.
Check out the tweet:
“My class X mark sheet. Aggregates to 76%. I remember how powerful this piece of paper felt. I was 15, but written off – as the average student. Today, this is irrelevant. And I’m glad I didn’t let this affect my belief in my capabilities. No one piece of paper can define you”.
