Motivation is the first thing that you need,
Even before the study material.
Too much of a philosophical statement, is it?
But you must answer this to yourself once the post ends. Anyways.
Hello, fighting souls! Remember the bittersweet truth is fight always goes on and every person alive in this world keeps something with himself that motivates him/her.
I used to read motivating blogs, guiding posts, read quotes and watch inspirational videos to help myself to hold on to what i had chose and recommend you to do whatever motivates you whenever you find yourself stuck, instead of taking these things to be a waste of time. In the long run, you will recall that these were the things that actually made you win the race.
Remember one thing, the scariest question you find during this race is-
'How to complete everything in less time...'
That is the time when you need to tell yourself dealing with the mind is the real challenge, not the syllabus.
Everyone with whom you will be competing are on the same page on which you are. All that makes a difference is who writes the book till the end. Preparation every next moment will be just increasing the probability for you TO CRACK GATE GrATEly, so the goal has never been to do each and everything available but to increase your probability as much you can.
Do the things that keep you motivated, even the pettiest ones. Here, the italic expression will have a different story for every single person reading these words. For me, as i mentioned every single person, one exists too. Counting my petty things... I had made self notes of points why i wanted a good rank and had pen down reasons (better if mentioned as dreams) attached with it, also A picture that reminded me of my goal was always as a screen cover on my phone be it self written statements,quotes or dream college's picture or gate syllabus or some screenshots.
Besides these, A mini calendar near my desk to strike off each date to realize importance of every passing day and Motivational quotes written on random paper pasted around. Well forgot to mention motivational songs for a good sleep before day ended and.. and.. yes running like an idiot from metro station on my way to the institute in morning for the class just to remind i was in race with self ( though, i like running and thus not really an idiotic act according to me :p ) and then another petty thing was.. waass.. oops list ended i guess, may be i should have added more and may be why i did not end up getting below 100.
Do not think you are ordinary and aren't capable to achieve that GrATE, you have already lost the battle then. Do not have any kind of regret, if you are reappearing the regret of wasting a year or if left a job or taking leaves or if in final year and have had any backup. All you got to remember is TO CRACK THE GATE GrATELY AND
DO make your own story of petty things.NOTE- Let your questions not trouble your mind and preparation rather let it bother the comment box below.
