Hello to all hive users 🤗❤️🙏
Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life🙂
Many children of the same age group study together in school or college. You must have noticed that there is a lot of difference in studies among all the children who study together. This is because every child has a different mind and every person is a different person in his own way, his talent may be good in some other thing which other children do not have. There are some children who are not able to understand things quickly and it takes them a lot of time to understand things. But there is nothing wrong in this because every child's mind is different. You must have noticed that among the trees and plants around us, some trees and plants grow very fast but the growth of some trees and plants is very slow but this does not mean that the one whose growth is slow is of no use because there must be something special in it too. The same thing applies to us humans as well. Nowadays people have complicated things a lot and they feel that life has become a competition. That is why you must have noticed that today's school students take a lot of stress of studies because they think that all this is a race and we have to get ahead in it, but in this race people forget to enjoy those two precious moments of life which are never going to come back.

Now if we talk about taking a gap year, then this thing depends on the purpose for which you are dropping the year. Suppose you are a student of class 12 and you prepared for many competitive exams while being in class 12 but you could not get selected in any good college and you feel that if I prepare for some more time then I may get selected, then in such a situation if you prepare hard for 1 year and study well then you can definitely get selected. There is no harm in taking a gap year because if you take admission in a wrong course by imitating someone else in a hurry then you may have to regret it for the rest of your life because if you do not like that course then it is obvious that you will not be able to get a good job because you will not be good in academics. If you choose a course about which you have good knowledge and in which you can give better performance, even if you have to take a gap of 1 year or 2 years to prepare for it, it is okay because your future will be better.
I will give you an example of this thing. In our country, if you want to become a doctor, then you have to pass the NEET exam and it is a very difficult exam. Many students start preparing for it from class 10 itself and work very hard, only then they are able to qualify this exam. Many students take coaching for 3 years to 4 years after class 12 and after discussion they get selected. Now I will explain you with the example of two children. There are two boys who are good friends and both are students of medical stream and study together in class 12. The goal of both the children is to become doctors and for that they start preparing for the NEET exam in advance. First of all, both of them take coaching together and after about 1 year of coaching, both the children give the exam but none of them gets selected. Now the first boy loses his courage and he thinks that he should go to some other field in the medical line, so he chooses some other course. But the other boy thinks that whatever hard work I have done this year, there might be some shortcoming and he thinks that if I prepare for one more year then I might get selected because he knows where not to make mistakes and how to prepare. On the other hand, he might also feel that my 2 years will be wasted and he might feel that it is a risk. Now the point comes here because many people think that this is a very big risk but if he takes a gap of one more year and prepares well then it is possible that he might get selected in NEET and once a child gets selected then his future will be bright.
The other boy who was his friend will regret that if he had also prepared for one more year then maybe he too would have been selected. After the course he is doing now, he will get a job. So even if he works all his life, he will still not be able to become a doctor and will always be on a post lower than a doctor. Just because of the difference of 1 year, there will be a huge difference in the lives of both of them and this is the advantage of taking a gap year.
Some people think that by taking a gap year, our years get wasted and we fall behind our peers but this is not true because if you use time properly then you can improve yourself so much that you can progress more than your peers. If by taking a gap of a few years, the coming years can be better then there is no harm in taking a gap. This gap will improve your skills and you can achieve perfection in all those things which you might not have been able to do before.
A person should himself think about what is best for him because if he listens to the people of the society, he will never be able to improve himself. That is why a person should himself think about what he should do so that his future can become better.
