Life is the Most Difficult Exam

Life is the most difficult exam, indeed, but at the same time, I would not call it an exam in the first place.

First of all, you can prepare for an exam, but you cannot prepare for life. There are no preparation materials, but you do learn and prepare for the upcoming questions throughout the process.

Secondly, it is difficult as there’re many ‘subjects’ in one exam. It is not like a Maths exam, which includes only problems in mathematics. Life is made up of family, relationships, jobs, education, business, money, financial problems, health problems, and many other problems. It is demanding to cope up with it altogether. Besides, it includes not only theoretical tasks but practical ones as well.

Since everybody has a different question paper in life, you cannot cheat. Nobody knows how many questions they have to answer. And there is no final point. It is not an exam that you can pass or fail. People behave like they have an eternity to pass the exam. But it is not so. It’s impossible to pass this exam. The result is the same for everyone. We can only enjoy the process and leave an origami out of the exam paper as we leave the exam class.
