One Sherlocker’s Success is the Entire Community’s Success:

This just goes on to show that hardwork, with the right guidance and self belief clubbed with perseverance gives tremendous returns.

I wish someone made me realise this in my early 20s/late teens.

Systems are set to use your vulnerabilities. Insecure people are compliant labourers and eager consumers.

Guilt & Shame are emotions to regulate your behaviour. You’re not flawed!

Society/Economy/Systems thrive if you believe there’s something wrong with you and you need to please others.

Absolutely NOT! You’re ENOUGH. Never forget it.

New Year’s is less than a week away. Fresh starts are always welcome in life.

Never forget, you create your own reality. And if you’re the creator, why not create an upbeat, exciting one!?

@UPSCneil

This text prompted me to ask myself, is UPSC not enough of a lottery in itself, that we need another one?

Personally I refrain from ‘promoting’ even this UPSC lottery. It’s a competitive exam to get you into the ‘civil services’.

It’s a generalist service, encapsulated as a ‘Management’/‘Administration’ job by one former civil servant in this book ‘Not just a civil servant’.

The भौकाल around this exam is created by the coaching machinery earning crores of rupees due to its over-glorification and now even mainstream media through movies like 12th Fail & whatnot.

Is it a good service?
Absolutely it is.

Are you a part of nation building?
All of us anyway are, just be being an active citizenry truth be told.

Is it a lottery?
Yes & No. You don’t purchase the ticket with money here. You purchase the ticket with your hardwork, and the right guidance. Beyond that, it’s a lottery without a doubt. Don’t let survivorship bias fool you otherwise.

Anyway, enough of Christmas positivity for the day! :)

Everything is an Art beyond a basic content aggregation, whether it's finding the right option in MCQs or writing a relevant answer.

Identify the art and then practice like your life depends on it!

@UPSCneil

Training your inner monologue is crucial.

Once you stop seeing yourself as ‘incompetent’ for both wanting to do the ‘hard’ things and start finding ways to get over the ‘procrastination’, is how you make progress!
