New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi on Friday urged students not to see success in exams as the sole aim of their education and said a person’s character and temperament, and not just grades, determine success in life. “Education is not just for exams but for life.

Exams mean testing yourself,” Modi said at his annual ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ event. He said that the ultimate goal is not marks but overall development of life.

Modi said he believed in focusing on future goals instead of obsessing about what happened. He said, “A leader told me, you have turned 75.

I replied, 25 are still left. I don’t count what has passed.

I count what is left. ” His advice to students was: “Don’t waste time counting what’s gone. Think about living what’s ahead.
