Are you Struck

Are you struck ?

Uff mere dil me thodi thodi si jagah thi ,uff tune bin kiraye ye jagah li, kuch keh bhi na saki ye kaisi bebasi ..... uff ...uff  ... mere dil me :P

Exactly tension is just like that , always came unwontedly and yet so welcomed by us. Exams are near and many more things still need to be done. And boom! You can’t even realize that you got struck upon something. When you are in tension, you think of multiple things, I need to do this, i will do that and then this must be happen by the time and even a simple friction delay seems like hell.

You wanna do many more things as per your capacity ... but hey hey! You are struck with books in your hands 24 hours a day with almost nil or say half production of your capacity. The long term pending chapters of costing are still in the “to do list”

You have less time and so more to work but still why can’t you perform at your best.... Why the hell you are struck when you are fully aware of it.  Let’s find out how tension plays its part in your half pending aspirations.

1.       Believe :-  You can achieve only if you know how to believe. You know you have less time to do. A little time to achieve the perfection. Somewhat somewhere your mind starts becoming rational and gauge your performance according to the stressed time  and its not upto the mark. This scenario seems like end of the world for you. As there is not even a single chance that you can go ahead  and do it better.

“Don’t let your believe shatter no matter what happens”.

2.       MAP :-  You may fight with your believe but you still wanna move ahead and really wanna excel in doing what you are required to do. Fear of exam is taking its toll, its not a good time to evaluate and criticize yourself for your mistakes. And then with a single ray of hope, knowing your low performance level, you plan to go ahead. A minor fault in your planning is enough to crash your confidence.

“The best time to have the map is the before you enter the forest. Don’t plan each and everything but still don’t let any loopholes. Your planning should always strike a balance between the available time and your capacity in that period rather than the pressure of things to be accomplished in that time frame.”

3.       Accomplishment of other things :- Sometimes you can’t concentrate on main just because you think that you should perform your task in hand. Once its accomplished , you’ll be doing your main work. And bang! Here’s the critical mistake lies, sometimes these things haunt your mind so much that you are not ready to give upon them unless its’ completely done.

For example ,you are solving a cash flow problem in an exam hall, you know you have 3 hours to accomplish your paper. And suppose cash flow was your first question which contain15 marks, You know your skill. You believe you are simply perfect at it. And once you have enough confidence of being the mast of cashflow, you start solving the question. Now the question should be end in 30-35 minutes. But you spent your 5 minutes thinking  that you might cover your whole question correctly. Alas! Things always don’t go in required way. DAMNNNNNNNNNN ...........  something went wrong with your methodology. And your whole question is wrong now.

Just tell me what you gonna do , invest other2.15 minutes for rest of the questions or just be adamant to finish your task in hand ! Obviously your focus will shift to other question in spite of the fact how master you are of cash flow.

Same thing happens with our last days or initial preparation too. In initial preparation these things don’t matter but last time rush is truly dedicated to all such mistakes. So choose wisely 

“Because sometimes your strength can be your weakness or vice-versa”

Lastly I can sum up easily:-

“It’s good to be adamant but it’s not always worthy enough to be struck as success lies on the smoothness of the road not on a roadblock”

Be Passionate

Whenever we think about the word “Passion”, we start to imagine a person who has love and burning desire to achieve his goals, aspiration. It’s something that’s more than words. There are many persons including me have asked ourselves “Why are we not passionate towards our goal”? 

There may be many persons who had tried out “The secret” formula, the power of visualization and imagination and all efforts but still everything turned out to be a case of sour grapes. 

Let’s just do a little exercise...

“Think about any moment when you have thought and said it and felt the same that I wanna be CA”

Can you recall that moment?

Bang on! You hit the bull’s eye.  

 

Aham... wait!  This picture is not anymore clear in my eyes.  It’s not my cup of tea now.  I won’t say you to count all the benefits of achieving your aim. Because you may say I wouldn’t do that for all the tea in china.

So the actual point is what makes you passion keep going? Why can’t we just be consistent towards our passion? 

 

There are 3 factors which leaves a deep impact on our passion:-

1.       Effort

2.       Believe

3.       Success 

In short if any of the factors is missing in the coordination then surely you will lose your track. Let me illustrate this with a simple instance

Suppose you complete a big chapter after spending 5 hours on it. In between you missed your favorite show/ match or whatever.  Your mind would ultimately calculate the cost and profit balance in subconscious mind.  Afterwards, you will evaluate your performance from the ranking worse to excellent. In case if your rating is excellent, believe will boost up. Otherwise your shaken believe will ultimately affect your dedication toward success.

It’s getting little complicated to understand. Let’s make it easier

You are playing a game say skittles or temple run or Rune master. You play first game. You lose but you know you can do it better by having second bite of cherry. Now this time your performance rose. It’ll ultimately create your interest. The more and more success you achieve, the more you wanna spent hours on it. And ultimately you even forget your lunch while playing the game.  But let’s say you didn’t succeed even on having second bite of cherry. After several failure attempts you would even give up on the game rather than going bananas for the same. And with passing of time, you may even lose your interest up to such an extent that you can’t even clear the easiest level whereas you were challenging yourself on the other side of the road. 

The same case happens with studies as well but we don’t realize it. Rather than focusing on circumstances and other persons/ things and associate our performance with these factors. Let’s just introspect a little.

 At the end, nothing is more enjoyable that getting back your lost passion. Because passion is not just a feeling, it’s a fuel which says your capabilities and you are beyond the circumstances.
