No, you can’t be sure of increase in marks. In fact, in the revaluation form it is written that YOU HAVE TO FOREGO YOUR CURRENT RESULT AND ACCEPT WHATEVER YOU GOT WHICH COULD RESULT IN INCREASE, DECREASE or SAME (NO CHANGE). ”Read full answer”And that means you are not going to get the best of two marks. You might be having 6–7 points in exams and you might have wanted to stretch that up to 8–9 points. But if you fail at doing so then your new marks will be Zero (if failed) or 4–5 (if decrease) instead of your 6– 7 (same). Got it !!!REVALUATION PROCESS OF DELHI UNIVERSITY IS HORRIBLE.COVID-19 Revaluation NoticeRead and understand this notice thoroughly before you proceed for revaluation.http://www.du.ac.in/du/uploads/Examination/10052020_Revaluation-Notification.pdfThis is going to be a long answer (Approx 10 mins read), but it is going to resolve most of your queries.You have three options or more depending upon the situation you are in :1.Rechecking : Rs 700 It means they will just count the marks, summing up marks or better say Re-Totaling.2.Revaluation : Rs 1000 it means they will check your answer sheet again. Three invigilators.3.Copy of your answer sheet : Rs 1200-1500 That’s exorbitant amount.Please verify the fees on your own. They might have updated after 2018.Don’t go for Rechecking. That is of No Use. Copy of transcript is needed in the case you might be failing for 2 years and not able to clear your exams after all of your efforts or you might want to challenge Delhi University in court.Coming to Revaluation process :Revaluation process of Delhi University is horrible. Not worth your money i.e, Rs 1000 for each paper. This will not ensure your increment of marks. If you are failing in some paper in 3rd-year result, then absolutely go for it. Otherwise, don't take any risk. I have learned that DU revaluation paper is checked by low standard teachers who don't care about the future of a student. Their one little mistake can cost a student his reputation, one whole year and no further admission in PG and no general competition exams.Let's start with some statistics, in the year 2017 May Exam, around 1425 students have applied for Revaluation of 3rd-year paper and out of that approx 850 students have been passed. You see the rate approx 60% of the students have been passed. Does that mean they have been failed deliberately or due to ignorance or negligence? It seems like they have made a revenue model out of this.Delhi University earns over Rs 3 crore in revaluation fees, rechecking answer scriptsDip in English Honours' Grades Across Delhi University, Students Cry Foul Play - DU EXPRESSLet's come to process for applying revaluation :First, you have to apply for revaluation within 15 days of the date of declaration of result and that too offline. You need these things :Your admit card,Your Marksheet,your College ID card,Revaluation form and a copy of Fee Receipt (take note of transaction id or payment reference number).After you got all these documents. Check your college administration whether exam related concerns are under South campus or North campus. In my case, I have gone to the North campus. Go to Viswavidyalaya Metro station Gate no 1/2. Take E-Risckshaw to Reach Delhi University Main campus Gate no. 1, Upon entering take the first left cut. Go to window no 2. Submit all these documents and Hope for the best.You will be paying online but submitting your documents offline. I don't know how students outside of Delhi NCR would have felt when they have to come from distant places and just to submit 4 sheets. It would have cost them at least Rs 2000 for not-so-sure-result. In the revaluation form, you will be signing and giving your consent that you have to forego the current result and accept your re-evaluated result no matter what. The fee Rs 1000 for one paper is exorbitant compared to other universities.Here goes my story (similar to yours) :I have experienced this. At present, I am pursuing Post Graduation in Statistics.I have been enrolled in BSc Math(H) in Rajdhani College of Delhi University in 2015–18. I had 8 SGPA in 5th semester and I was expecting 7 SGPA in 6th semester along with an improvement paper (Riemann Integration) of the 4th semester. I had obtained 5/10 Grade points in the paper of Riemann Integration in 4th semester. So I had taken improvement exam in the 6th semester with the intent of making it to 7/10 and spent Rs 400 for the same.But when the results are declared on 10 July 2018 for the last year 6th semester. My hopes are shattered. I had been failed miserably in 4th-semester improvement paper and obtained just 4/10 Grade points in the 6th-semester paper in which I am very confident of scoring at least 8/10.So I decided to go for the revaluation process. I spent Rs 2000 for two papers revaluation fees. Even the results are declared very late approx 2 and a half months but I was unable to take admission for Post Graduation. I got 4/10 in both papers in which I have opted for revaluation. 4/10 is passing criteria and avoiding the embarrassment of failing.My result were out in the last week of September i.e, almost 2 months (10 July - 28 September) after the declaration of graduation results. They will also send you result in an envelope within 10 days of declaration of results on your address. In the mean time, you can check and download the result from the official website.University of Delhi | ExaminationAbove link contains the list of Revised/No change results since 2016. If you are gonna apply for revaluation. Then your result will be declared here. You have to download both pdf corresponding to your year and session. Then you need to look for your name in those pdfs.Revised ResultsNo Change ResultAlthough I have managed to secure First division with a score of 6.784 CGPA But that was not worth my time, money and effort. I would have obtained more than these marks without going through this tedious procedure and mental trauma.In the end, I will say I just wasted my Rs 2400 for less than expected marks. I should have opted for not taking the improvement exam. Don't depend on revaluation procedure and better prepare your papers prior to exams.Now I am planning to file a case against Delhi University Exam department. Let's see how the matter will unfold in the court. Time to fight back and being possibilist.Edit 1:Students are asking me How to pay the fee? Search on Google “dumisconlinefee”.

The time has finally come for me to tell my story here. I’m contemplating how much of it I should tell. What if people judge me? What if they pity me? Even worse…what if they don’t believe me? Should I go anonymous? Eh I’ll just give the Medium level version. Just minus some of the extra details.When I was born (December 1994), I was born to a very messed up “family”. I had 4 siblings. 2 older brothers, an older sister and one younger half brother. This is in Pennsylvania by the way. The foster care system varies by state so it may be different in your state. Anyways, my biological mother and father were never married. My father was an alcoholic and my mother…well I assume she had many mental issues or just a very low IQ. Maybe learning disabilities? The county never told me. (Apparently my records are locked away and I can’t access them so I won’t ever really know the details exactly.) I don’t remember too much. Just that is was very dirty. We lived in a house surrounded by the woods. I only remember it being very dirty and there being chickens inside the house. I remember having the 4 of us put into one crib. My brother trying to steal a yogurt from the fridge and me being to afraid to eat it. From what I do know, we were put in dog cages, severely underweight and often dirty. Sometimes not wearing clothes. My father made us eat off the floor like animals. He would hit us (me being 1–2 years old.) My half brother barely able to stand. He beat my brothers, left us in the woods and worse. From what I was told by the county, they found my sister and I in a bathtub upstairs. We were found naked and both bleeding from out productive organs. I’m not sure what that means. They never gave me a clear answer when I asked if he raped us. They always just said that it was possible. When I was 3, they took us out of that place. I started my first round of foster homes. I bounced around to 3 homes. I never stayed at one for more then a few months. I was so young then. I don’t really remember much from that time. I remember one of the foster siblings would fall on me from the top bunk. I remember being scolded for not eating food I didn’t like. I remember watching as the foster family gave their biological children numerous gifts on Christmas while I got a stuffed barney toy. I remember wondering why I wasn’t treated the same. Wondering why I always had to move. Being so young, I never understood what was going on.Then I was adopted at the age of 4. At first it was great. It took me a long time to call them Mom and Dad. A few months after they adopted me, they adopted one of my brothers as well. It was good for awhile. Normal. I started to go to preschool. I showed signs of being different even then. Unlike all the other girls who would play with the dolls or girly stuff, I would play with the dinosaurs by myself. Then at around 1st grade, everything started falling apart. My dad had lost his job. He drank and often got angry. Then the beatings started. The mental abuse, physical abuse and verbal abuse. I will never forget the sound of my dad punching my brother. Or looking him in the eyes as he choked me or threw me like a stuffed toy. He broke my brothers arm, gave me a concussion…possibly two and just constantly beat on us. I remember hiding in my closet and covering my ears to try and drown out the skin on skin impacts. The physical abuse was just a start. They locked the fridge and cupboards. Constantly manipulated me. They even forced me to hit my brother once. They emptied our rooms. Made us clean their entire house, backyard and front yard just because. They always made it clear that they regretted adopting us. One of the most hurtful things was hearing my father threaten to make his wife choose between us and him. It was so bad that I didn’t talk in school. I’d be so afraid to come home. The mind games they played, the manipulation, the feelings of worthlessness they bestowed upon me…all of it for 10 years. Going from my biological parents to growing up in this environment…really messes up a kid. I was bullied in school. Outcasted. Nobody wanted to be friends with the kid who rarely talked. The girl who didn’t have friends. The girl who spent all her time reading instead of playing at recess. I was always the kid they didn’t want on their team or group. All of this because of how I grew up.When I turned 14 and was about to start my first year of high school, my brother had finally had enough. He told the guidance counselor at my school what was going on. Showed the bruises. I never went back home. I never saw my parents again. I went into my first foster home. The first one I would actually remember anyway.Foster home #1#1 was okay. It was an emergency one. I wasn’t meant to stay there. When we left that night, I was terrified. I was going to be in so much trouble when I finally went home. I was so fearful of the beatings I was certain were to come. My brother and I were eventually separated. I stayed with the 1st family until after the new year. I left in February. That was hard. I had actually made friends at the school I was at. The foster family itself though…wasn’t the right place for me. I was just beginning to go through puberty. I remember sneaking to their computer at night looking up how to use tampons because I was too embarrassed to ask. I would listen to music to help myself cope with everything. The foster mom found out by seeing the search history. I came home from school one day and she just tore into me. Screaming at me for a good 30 minutes. I couldn’t even say anything. I didn’t know how to explain myself let alone defend myself. In February, my case manager showed up at the end of the day and told me I was moving to a new home and school. She told me to say goodbye to my friends and to clean out my locker. I was shocked. I had finally made a few friends. Was on a swim team. Was doing okay and in a second it was all just ripped away. So I moved onto the next home.Foster home #2#2 I stayed at until the end of the school year. The foster mom was married to an older guy. I’d guess 15–20 years older. They were weird. They were fostering a baby and another child a few years younger then me. The foster mom ate baby food. Like as part of her meals. That was always weird. Other than that though, they were harmless. No crazy yelling or anything. I had also made friends at that school but only one. I was very hesitant to making new friends again as I didn’t want to get attached to anyone again. By that time I was behind in math and science. I still loved to read and write though. After the school year came to an end, the foster mom wanted to go on vacation. So I went on respite to another house. I ended up staying at Foster Family #3 until I turned 18.Foster Family #3.The last foster family was … so many things. Many bad and a few good. This family had way too many kids. Many they had adopted. They were strict Baptists. They had adopted a child who had severe issues. Borderline crazy. FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome), bipolar, multiple personality disorder, aggressive in both verbal and sometimes physical sense etc. She was 21 but basically had the mind of a 12 year old girl. She constantly had melt downs. Punching walls, screaming, fighting, threatening etc. I watched her attack my foster parents and even at one point tried to attack me. The parents insisted that I call them mom and dad. This I had a hard time doing as I didn’t consider people I knew for a week to be my parents. Usually I avoided using the words but sometimes I would have to. I hated it. They controlled the music I listened too (I listened to Justin Bieber, Keith Urban, Disney songs etc. Anything that wasn't scary and felt like something I could connect too. I never listened to the songs about sexual things/cursing/violence etc) They forced me to go to their church. Refused to let me wear shorts that were an inch above the knee. (The foster sister would blast Little Wayne and wear yoga shorts outside all the time without an issue). I ended up actually loving contemporary Christian music. It was never scary and I related to many of the topics they talked about. It usually brought me comfort. Music as well as horses were always my stress relievers. Music more so then horses. Eventually I did decide to become Christian. However never the strictness of my foster parents. Eventually they fostered another girl. This one was 10–12 with the exact same issues as the older girl. The only difference is that they put her in the same room as me. The room I was in was barely big enough to walk in with the two twin beds and dressers. More often then not, I would come home to find my foster mom wrestling her to the ground or her punching the walls, lashing out, trying to hurt herself or those around her. All of this constantly took a toll on me. For someone who grew up the way I did, seeing this sort of thing just made me feel more and more alone. More out of place. School was my only outlet. Even there though it was hard. I was still quite but managed to make a few friends. The chorus teacher saved me. I hung out in his room for lunch, study hall and any other classes I could. He would give me singing lessons, guitar lessons, piano lessons or just listen to me vent. He gave me the courage to sing in front of my school even. Something I never would have been able to do. My foster parents also had many pets. They were pretty dirty and lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. The house constantly looked like a train wreck. More often then not, they expected me to clean it. Do the piles of dishes, laundry and other housework. For me, I felt like a drone. Just mindlessly and silently doing as I was told.When I turned 18 I knew I had to leave. They made it seem like they wanted me there but they also couldn’t afford to have me there.It was around that time that I discovered Korea and Kpop. I latched onto Kpop because of the bright and happy music. Most of all though, it was all the research that constantly stated how much safer South Korea was. No guns. No drugs. The guys were supposed to be way more respectful etc. The word “safe” is what caught me. That was all I wanted. I was tired of being so afraid of everything. I constantly had nightmares. Was always jumpy. Afraid of the world. So I decided that I wanted to go there. Of course 5 years later, I am much more educated about other countries. I still want to go though.I ended up couch surfing after I got out of foster care. I had managed to save up enough money through cleaning houses and other odd jobs. I had just enough money to buy a plane ticket. December 17th 2013. I moved to LA. I’ll never forget that day. With nothing but a backpack and 20 dollars to spare, I got on that plane. I was homeless from the start. Its another story but I ended up getting raped by a homeless man 10 days after moving there. December 27th also so happens to be my birthday. After that I just lost it. I was so angry. So frustrated. Why did people just keep hurting me. No matter where I went, no matter what I did, people were just cruel. It was a hard lesson to learn but I learned it. It took 5 years. Moving 9 times the first year and 7 times the second. Starting from Jack in the box to Starbucks to Coffee Bean and now a steady restaurant Job. 5000 in debt from a student loan I took out in desperate attempts to get on my feet. However I made it. Working on a youtube channel and currently a successful Facebook page about Asian culture. (Feel free to follow. Page name is Jenny Lynn) I have serious and realistic plans of going to Korea long term in the next year. Maybe might give dating a shot at some point too. Who knows. I came a long way and have so much farther to go.After going through all this, I honestly consider myself lucky. When I talk to the brother I grew up with, he is so angry and bitter. Me? Nobody even realizes that I’ve had a tough start unless I tell them. I’m as normal as everyone else. Or at least in their eyes. I still have nightmares. Have trouble communication what I feel. I’m terrified of confrontation and will do anything I can to avoid it. I jump at most sudden sounds. Fireworks may make me cry. Sometimes I feel jealous and so far behind. Seeing people younger then me going to college. Driving a car. Working in jobs that pay more then minimum wage. Sometimes I feel helpless. Hopeless. However whenever I feel that way, I focus on music. Korea has helped me in ways that nobody will ever understand. (I could write for days about this haha). I tend to be afraid a lot. I’m hesitant about dating. I can’t just hookup with someone. I tend to like Asian guys too but as a non Asian girl, I’m usually looked upon as someone to experience. So I don’t really date much. I’m 24. In many ways I am very behind. However I have more life experience then most 40+ year olds. I’ll stop now as this has gotten very long. If anyone out there is reading this…just know that no matter what your circumstances. No matter what it is that you’ve been through…just know that it can and will get better. It’s usually a very bumpy road but eventually it straightens out. Fighting!Edit: Thank you all so much for all the upvotes and comments. I finally made a video about my story. I talk about everything in much more detail. Please check it out on my channel “Jenny Lynn”.

It’s no exaggeration that this, right here, is the most dangerous notebook on the planet.Source: Personal effects of 'the mother of modern physics'will be radioactive for another 1500 yearsBut why? What’s to be seen here but some random drawings and calculations scattered on the pages of an old notebook?Perhaps if you’d take a closer look….Source: The radioactive legacy of Marie CurieNo, I mean literally a “closer” look.This notebook belongs to the esteemed Marie Curie - the brilliant scientist whose work opened a whole new field of research, that is the science of radioactivity.Having spent most of her life working with radio-active elements, her papers, clothes, home furniture, and all of her belongings have been contaminated by radiation.Source:Personal effects of 'the mother of modern physics'will be radioactive for another 1500 yearsHoused in The Bibliotheque Nationale in France, Marie Curie's notes are all kept in lead boxes due to the dangerous level of radiation in them. And if you wish to take a glimpse at her century-old manuscripts, you‘d need to sign a liability waiver and wear protective clothing to shield yourself from the deadly radiation.Source: The radioactive legacy of Marie CurieInked on these papers are equations and abstracts on the studies of chemical elements. But what radiates from them, in every sense of this word, is the legacy of a unique person. The legacy of a woman who refused to settle for less than a lifetime of achievements, and a reputation that outlived her physical bodyMarie Curie started very humbly, and even struggled to get education. But thanks to her hard work and extraordinary dedication, she went on to become the most famous and widely respected female scientist in history.Marie Sklodowska was born on 7 November 1867 in Poland. Her brilliance was evident early on in her life. She was an outstanding student and performed exceptionally well at school. This, however, didn't guarantee her a seat in the University of Warsaw, which only accepted male students.Undeterred by the rejection of unjust society, young Marie decided to continue her education in the Floating University in Warsaw, which was a secret underground institution that provided education mainly for Polish girls.Her love affair with science had to be kept a secret.To support herself and her sister, Marie worked on the side as a tutor while still continuing her studies in secret on the hope that one day she would be able to move to Paris and gain a higher degree.Source: Marie Curie | Biography & Facts”All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child”.The beginning of a wonderful journey:The year is now 1891, and Marie is finally able to pursue her childhood dream. She moved to Paris and started her studies at the Sorbonne. She invested all her time and energy in her dreams. But with aspirations this high, there’s always more to pay than sweat and sleepless nights.With very little money, Marie could barely afford a living. She survived mainly on buttered bread and tea. Sometimes, she would even faint from hunger! But never was she starving more for food than for knowledge.Source: Dr. Marie Curie (U.S. National Park Service)“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained”.Upon graduation from the Sorbonne, Marie met Pierre Curie. The two immediately connected as they shared the same enthusiasm for discovery. Their marriage in 1895 marked the start of a new journey.Thanks to their immense efforts together, Marie and Pierre Curie discovered polonium and radium in 1898. This accomplishment gained them international recognition. Marie’s love affair with science is no longer a secret. Her name is now on the headlines of newspapers.Source: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/who/our-history/marie-curie-the-scientist“I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries”.Long gone are the days of dreaming:In 1903, the power couple won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering radioactivity. Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.(It’s important to note that Pierre took a stand supporting Marie when she was first overlooked for the Nobel).On the results of that research, Marie Curie received her doctorate of science in June 1903. She was the first woman to receive a PhD from The University of Paris.Yet, all of this was just the beginning…..Source: Marie Curie | Biography & Facts“One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done”.Accomplished and now more optimistic than ever, Marie Curie continued her work on the study of radioactivity with higher aims. But her life took a tragic turn in 1906 by the sudden death of her husband Pierre. He was hit by a horse-drawn vehicle while crossing a busy street in Paris.The news of Pierre’s passing left Marie devastated. Not only was he a husband, but a partner in crime, in life, and in her great scientific pursuits.Pain and loss disheartened her not, but rather fueled her soul as she vowed to continue alone what they had started together.Curie buried herself in her work. The lab became her new home. And those childhood dreams grew infinitely larger.Source: Marie Curie: 7 Facts About the Groundbreaking Scientist“ I have no dress except the one I wear every day. If you are going to be kind enough to give me one, please let it be practical and dark so that I can put it on afterwards to go to the laboratory”.Her extraordinary efforts culminated in another Nobel just 8 years after the first one.In 1911, Marie Curie won her second Nobel Prize for isolating pure radium. This time in Chemistry. And this time solely under her name.She became the first person ever, male or female, to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice.Madam Curie voyaged to where no man had before.Beyond a second Nobel:Having experienced the bitter taste of loss herself after her husband’s death, the famed scientist invaded the battlefields of the First World War. Not to wage war on the enemy, but to help those who were suffering on the ground.Thanks to her enormous medical contributions, she proved, firsthand, how science can be a force for good in the world.With the assistance of her 17-year-old daughter Irène, Marie Curie took to the front lines of the Great War in a mobile X-ray truck to help the wounded soldiers with the very technology she helped build.She oversaw the implementation of hundreds of radiological units during the war. Appropriately, Curie became the director of the Red Cross Radiology Service.Source: The Nobel Prize | Women who changed science | Marie CurieMarie Curie in a mobile X-ray unit during the First World War. These mobile units became known as “Little Curies”.Surrounded by men. Standing up for women.Not to undermine the accomplishments and efforts of other women in the scientific field specially in that period of time, but it touches me deeply to see this….Source: Solvay Conference - WikipediaThis historical picture was taken during the Fifth Solvay International Conference in 1927. The smartest scientists in the world gathered in Brussels in October of that year to exchange ideas on the Quantum Theory.It’s often referred to as “the most intelligent picture of all time” with a collective IQ that nears infinity (figuratively).Photographed here are 28 of the brightest men in the twentieth century. And seated right in the front row is one Marie Curie.Of the 17 Nobel Prize laureates in this photo, Not only is Madam Curie the only female, but the only one who reserves two Nobels.If you ask me, this is the height of glory.On the symbolic gates of heaven:Curie’s life was as inspiring as it was tragic.All of her remarkable achievements; the two Nobels, the uncountable awards, the honors, the numerous titles, the international recognition, the extraordinary discoveries, all of it came at a terribly high price.On July 4, 1934, Marie Curie died of leukemia aged 66. She had suffered from aplastic anemia, believed to have been the result of decades of radiation exposure.It is often said that you’re more likely to be killed by someone you love than by a stranger. Curie’s love was, above all, science. And since childhood, her yearning for knowledge had trumped every other desire or fear.Ultimately, it was the love of her life that ended her life.Source:Marie Curie - Death of Pierre and second Nobel Prize“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less”.Marie Curie’s life story was concluded on that day. What a wonderful and meaningful life that of hers was!However, one more chapter was yet to be composed…..The Heir to the Curie throne:Remember Irène? Marie’s teenage daughter who helped her with her humanitarian efforts during the First World War? She turned to become a hero of her own story.Irène followed in the footsteps of her mother. She excelled at math from a young age, and later expanded on the works of Marie and Pierre.In 1935, a year after her mother’s death, Irène Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with her husband Frédéric Curie for discovering artificial radioactivity.She followed in the footsteps of her mother till the end….On March 17, 1956, Irène Curie died at the age of 58 from leukemia due to her prolonged exposure to radiation, mainly from polonium.Two years later, in 1958, her husband Frédéric died from liver disease. His death was also the result of radiation exposure.The Curie family is arguably the most academically inspiring of all. There are three Nobel Prizes in this picture. No other family matches the Curies’ record in this respect.Interesting fact: While the Curies reserve three Nobel Prizes, 45 countries in the world have won just two or less.Source:Marie Curie - WikipediaYes, this family right here received more Nobel prizes than entire countries!I’m going to leave it at this…..A phenomenal legacy that radiates with ample reach:The list of firsts and onlies in Marie Curie’s resume is beyond impressive.Her exceptional academic accomplishments have catapulted her into a household name and a role model for women throughout history.She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. The first person to win two Nobel Prizes. And to top it all off, Marie Curie is still, to this date, the only person to be awarded the Nobel Prize in two different sciences.This record hasn’t been broken in 109 years!She’s also still the only woman in history to be twice awarded the Nobel Prize.She discovered two chemical elements, polonium and radium. And coined the term “radioactive”.She was the first woman to receive a PhD from a French university. And the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne University.She essentially established the field of radiation therapy for cancer, thanks to her work on X-ray.Madam Curie is deservingly regarded the mother of modern physics.And in her own words, this is how she managed to do it…..“Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas”.Not only have her accomplishments not been paralleled in 100 years. But her notes, a testament of her greatness, will also remain radioactive for 1,500 years……I’d like to conclude with this….If a time traveler had met young Marie on her way to the secret university she resorted to after being spared the right to proper education, or when she was spending all those countless hours studying with an empty stomach during her first years in Paris, and laid out to her how her life story would unfold, how do you imagine she would’ve responded?Source: Marie Curie - WikipediaHow would you respond if a time traveler visited you today and presented you with a similar prophecy?Well, a time traveler probably won’t pay you a visit anytime soon. But what actually is within the realm of possibly is for you to lead a life as inspirational, as successful, and as glorious as Madam Curie’s.If this doesn’t motivate you, nothing will.I have the utmost respect for Madam Curie.
