  • one of theeeee best experience will be the change in behavior of the chief protagonist of point 5 before and after selection :smile:
  • Can someone tell the best way to not fell in love. I mean if we don't fell in love then there is no issues for break up.
    Actually I like some & I didn't concentrate on my study past few days.
    WHAT TO DO I DON'T KNOW??
  • UPSC exam considered as one of the world's toughest exam. share how you deal with this toughness ... you can do it by sharing examples .. like

    (1) failure ,
    (2) less marks in test series,
    (3) not able to complete targets ,
    (4) home sickness ,
    (5) break up issues while preparing etc.. (any other such examples.)

    your suggestions can help others a lot.... enjoy sharing..
    235 are not so much of an issue but biggest is dealing with failure..each failure takes an year of your life and it takes lot of time to recover from it...
  • folks you can come up with other problems and there solution as well..@aristotle4841 well done..

    This is how I deal with the following.

    (1) failure

    When I failed for the first time, I cried out my heart. I cried so much that I felt like I am crying at someone's funeral. Moments later, I had headache and a running nose. I went to wash-basin to clean up my face. I already have a mirror-cracking looks and when I saw my face, I felt like punching the mirror. I looked ugly. Boys should never cry.

    (2) less marks in test series,

    CSP is my test paper. I know this is too much of an attitude but in my place, we dont have any shops that sells test papers. So, what I do is I revise a lot and directly appear CSP. There's no question of getting less or more marks here. Either you are in or out for a year. If in, I smile. If out, I get to see my ugly face again.

    (3) not able to complete targets

    I currently have this problem. My targets are super small yet I am running late. Jesus, I need rescuing.

    (4) home sickness

    In my case, it should be sick-home. Yep. I am sick of my room. Day in, day out and for years - I am in my room. I'm not growing, rather I'm fermenting myself here. Having said that, there is nothing like home.

    ,
    (5) break up issues while preparing etc...

    No break-ups as of now. I wish none would go through this grind. It's hurting to see being separated from your loved ones. And, when it hurts, I cry. I dont want to cry. Reason stated in point 1.

    @roxtar ji.. it depends what is important for you in life now.. it is that you are looking for love and willing to take risk with your career for that. because that is for sure that your attempt might be jeopardized with such an adventure.
    just think about parents and focus on your immediate goal i guess that is prelims.. forgive me if i said anything offended.
