When things go against you

Dear friend,
If you ever feel like things are not going right and you  aren’t able to perform to your fullest due to this then for a moment go into flashback and try to remember that moment when you felt a lot of confidence.It may be before or after any test for which you were well prepared ,may be after completing a chapter which you earlier thought will be hard to do .Now think of the process that happened before you got that confidence within you.Yes,I am talking of the preparations that you did in the right direction in order to gain that confidence.Now your job is to repeat that process and gain confidence in every topic you feel low..I won’t say that it will be easy but I can assure you that it will be worth it.
See, everything in this world is relative i.e. nothing is absolute . It is all upon how you take it.

I remember that day when the results of KVPY were to be declared.We gave the paper online and didn’t have our responses with us .Nobody was sure about the marks they were getting ,so was I.
Then came the day of results with one more surprise .The MAS list of the NSE Olympiads were also declared on that day.BINGO ,I checked the results and found that I had cleared the MAS of all the three olympiads that I gave.Then I checked the list of students in KVPY shortlisted for interview and found that my name wasn’t there.I checked the cutoffs and BOOM .To my surprise it was the same as I was scoring.I couldn’t figure out what was happening as we didn’t get our marks by then.When we got our marks I was so depressed to see that I was just short of 0.25 marks .Yes!!! just a mere 0.25 marks .I was sad & depressed.
Then came the turning point. Mumma came to me and said “Beta, tumne koshis kari thi achi .Wo tumhare marks me dikh rha hai.Par wo 0.25 marks kyu kam reh gaye ,yeh toh tumhe khudse hi puchke pta lagega.”
I thought upon this whole night and got the answer when I asked it to myself.I wasn’t giving focus to every topic.
Every being that god has made is provided with ample of opportunities,it just depends on us whether we choose to open our packet or not.
This long story wasn’t to brag about myself, but to make you understand that whenever you are in any problem (emphasize ‘any’) then going into depression won’t help you out.
BUT giving the problem a second thought will definitely help.
On a concluding note Dear friend please NEVER LET YOURSELF DOWN.
There is a solution to everything you just need to work upon searching it.
Mahalo!!

Keep sleep OFF

Aloha Amigos! Feeling sleepy is something I encountered a lot during my JEE preparations :p. Here are some of the tried and tested foolproof hacks (as in my language) which will solve your problem: Develop a habit of reading and understanding things fast.This will help you a lot. Try to take most of the food in breakfast ,a light dinner( try avoiding much rice made stuffs in lunch),and have a very light dinner.(trust me!!! I didn’t eat anything made outside my home & my mumma took special care of my diet during my preparation time.Sometimes it was monotonous and fustrating but at the end it was all worth.) Take power naps (it is a short sleep taken during the working day in order to restore one’s mental alertness).These power naps are very helpful in improving health issues also like blood pressure,stress etc. Adding some science into it.You must have have experienced that sometimes when you get up then also you are not satisfied with it.Also it must have happened that y...

Making out maximum output of every hour in your day

Seems like you already have that spark of motivation in you to excel in JEE.Let me help you keep that spark alive. Following are some of the hacks(my language if you have read any of my previous blogs) that will definitely help you to bring out the best of you everyday. First of all don’t target any rank or marks,rather try to improve upon your capabilities everyday. Now science is a proof that those people who study late night have a higher IQ than others.Sharing my own experience,what I did for this was that whenever I was at home in the afternoon then I used to sleep for sometime and then at night I used to study extra time ,4 times of what I slept in the afternoon.(Ex-I slept 1 hour then i used to study till 4 am and then again wake up at 8:30.) Try to take naps at those times when you can’t do anything productive eg-while travelling like in my case I used to sleep a lot while traveling in metro. Everyone does hardwork but those who do consistent hardwork are able to ma...
