THE MAGICAL ELEMENT FOR CLEARING EXAMS !
I was just passing through college premises, and overheard two people on my way out saying “arrey yaar tujhe pata hai, yeh baar to result kharab aaya hai “¦boss apna kaise hoga? ” And I started thinking, The student without even attempting the exams, without even putting a show of his own, sunk into the feeling that he might not clear. And that is the moment when, something that Sir Albert Einstein quoted struck my mind, “Imagination is bigger than knowledge.” Knowledge can take you from A to B, but imagination, can take you everywhere. It is this imagination that one needs to have, that, one WILL clear through. It is this belief, this faith they need to have in themselves, and the logic is very simple, if one doesnt believe in himself/herself, why should anybody else believe in them? In my life as a student, I have never come across a student who doesnt study. Everyone gives the best on their part and still only a few clear. Did you ever wonder why? Because, only a very few believed in themselves that they will sail through and it is exactly those very few, who managed to clear. So, is it only about what you study and how much you study? And the answer is NO, its NOT”¦. Consider that 21/2 hours paper as the second innings of a cricket match. The innings where you have to chase 100 runs and the overs are 3 and MS. Dhoni is the last batsman. And the moment you convert things, the first statistics, that you pull out, is the average runs per over. You realize that Dhoni needs to put in 33.33 runs to an over, and he is the last batsman, the pressure is mounting. Imagine, Dhoni losing his confidence at such point of time. Maybe the bowler (i.e. the question) or just the pressure to score so many runs pulls him down. Do you think, if he loses his confidence at this point of time, would he ever be able to bring a victory to himself and his team?? Ever?? Whether he is capable of doing that or not, is a secondary question, but does he feel he can do it or not, is what is more important. The exam scenario is exactly the same. You need to believe in yourself that the task is achievable for you. Positivity is what has changed a lot of things, for a lot of people. The best example that comes to mind is our father of the nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. It was his belief in Satyagraha that turned India into a free nation. Thus, one has to understand, than anything else, is to believe in themselves that they are able to crack it. The most important factor post the BELIEF, is to be ABLE enough to achieve what you BELIEVE, and that is something which is in your hands. A lot of people who might be attempting for the second time, would feel at the time of studying, “yaar yeh toh aata hai, yeh bhi kiya tha last attempt mein.. etc etc etc” But, if you knew everything, why couldnt you pass then? Because, the way you have studied isnt right to put you across the border. Keep one thing in mind; papers are never to be predicted. The more you predict your paper, less is the chances of getting through. So dont try to study selectively, but make you sure you study smartly.
