Don't let anyone's opinion of which you should be friends or live with, dictate who you will be friends or live with. People will talk. They shall say some terrible things. But that doesn't mean you have to listen to everyone. Never ever worry about - log kya kahenge. At the end of the day, you are the only one who will face the consequences of your actions, so don't let other people make your decisions for you. “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” – Tagore This famous quote is from Rabindranath Tagore’s drama ‘The King of Dark Chamber’. One can’t cross a river by merely standing and staring. Similarly, one can’t clear the competitive exams, by dreaming and reading success stories. One has to take a step and leap forward. One has to overcome the procrastination and should start reading the best and necessary material as per syllabus to succeed in the exam. The hardest thing in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.” - Bertrand Russell Knowledge and hard work are not sufficient to clear the exams. To succeed, one has to do smart work. One should know what the most scoring areas in the preliminary are and the main examination, one should know which books have to be read and which books have to be avoided to become an officer with minimum efforts, aspirants have to be tactful. Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” – Buddha This Buddha’s quote is not only applicable to the journey of your life, but also to your exam preparation. Realize the power of the ‘now’ and make the most out of your present. If you failed to study yesterday, don’t get carried away with that disappointment. Start every day a fresh and study with focus every day. “Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.” – Einstein Many aspirants think that only those having inborn talent can become officers. But, this is not true. It is only with your sheer hard, you can succeed in any competitive exams. With only your persistent and disciplined hard work, you can complete the syllabus and succeed in any exam. In life, one cannot achieve success without facing failures. Don’t get disheartened when you are not able to clear the exam in one or more attempt. One must know that failure is a very normal thing. Analyse your mistakes in your previous attempt, learn from them and prepare an action plan and execute it. Success will be yours. Arise, awake, and, stop not till the goal is reached. - Swami Vivekananda
