I don’t know what’s with the Indian society that the status for being right is the most important thing as an individual. This right doesn’t mean moral right or ethical right. It means you are forbidden from making any mistakes for your entire life. You are giving exams for the rest of your life and people, society and friends are constantly judging you to check if you are right. When your profession is not related to sports than losing is not an option. You have to win every day, every minute and every second. You have to be optimized as if you are living like a swiss watch precision of 99.999999999999999% anything less means you are a total failure and are miserable.
