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!!

Being a dropper how to handle the biiiiig syllabus of JEE?

Greetings Friend! Now without wasting your time, directly let's come to your question. I would suggest you read this article and understand it fast. And make this a habit, start with this answer if you haven’t started yet. Being a dropper isn’t your weakness or liability. It is a strength for you. How???? Preparing for Mains January's attempt, you don’t have to worry about your board exams anymore. You have experienced the real exam environment & you know well about the process that takes place in the exam. You are aware of the mistakes that you made earlier.Take a note of them.This year you should be in a win-win situation & for that, these mistakes and consistent work towards your goal will help you out. How do I complete such a big syllabus? First of all the syllabus isn’t big. We make it feel big to us. Hacks (my language)for making the syllabus small: 1st one I have discussed in the starting of the answer. Most of the chapters are linked. When...

It’s not about being violent, it’s self defense

Getting punched in the face is a sobering experience. But it also teaches you that you are stronger than you think. But many people don’t want to go through that process of pain We as human beings don’t like getting hurt. We are naturally averse to pain and instinctively shy away from it. The paradox of combat sports/ systems whatever is that a lot of good strategies are tending to counter intuitive to some degree. People very easily confuse karate as a violent sport. It isn’t a combat fight sport which promotes violence. Rather karate is for self-defense purposes. Even Karate means empty hand self-defense art.  In the beginning the ability to defend against an attack falls back to free fighting techniques. Defense relies on the easiest and perhaps favorite techniques. The advantage here is having been attacked in class, a confrontation on the street is not a new situation. Distancing is second nature. Reaction become automatic. As one progresses the underly...

Defeating the terror of Mathematics

Namaste! If you are also one of those who has the fear of Mathematics then you have come to the correct place. Directly coming to the question, I talked with some students who feared solving maths problems and found that the main cause of this terror is skipping the basics. Most of the students with whom I had a talk, were not clear with their basics. I remember I had a classmate who didn't even know how to divide numbers but was studying topics like HCF & LCM. It was for sure that he won't be able to score in the tests and the same did happen. The key to getting rid of this terror is to make the basics clear and then gradually proceed to the higher-level questions. Start with the basic level problems, study and understand the theory properly, move to the next topic and repeat this process. Just make sure you are following the order and not skipping anything. Following this method, you will soon build up confidence as you keep on increasing your level. Consistency i...
