If you are starting answer writing or you want to master it.

I strongly advise - good vocabulary and keywords make the 'cardamom effect' in your answer recipe . So to provide that beautiful scholarly flavour in your ans , I would suggest :

Think in keywords
Talk in keywords
Write in keywords

Practice it !

Probably tomorrow or may be in next 2-3 days the prelims 2024 results will be Out . But before that I wanted to share something. The things, we have all learnt in these many years . Here "We" means the people who have "passed this exam" as well as those who failed "did not pass this exam" . We are sitting together and letting you know our thoughts right now.

See, tomorrow some 14k will pass and a lot won't find their names in list. You will cry (we all cried once) but sooner you must realise the reason of that pain. Understand what was that mistake you committed. What was that "extra thing" these 14k people had and you need to do now. What is that gap ?

Personally, I didn't want to tell this but letting you know . There was a time right after my engineering that I could not qualify a single written competitive exam. I took time of 1.5 years then i successfully qualified multiple written exams (including some engineering side) like SSC , GATE , BARC , UPPCL , CDS , AFCAT, AIIMS AE, DMRC, multiple prelims of UPSC- CSE , UPSC- ESE , UPPCS , HCS etc. and many more engineering side exams, finally got selected in many too.

The only learning I want to tell you from my past is - learn from your mistakes. Make yourself your better version on daily basis right after your results. In next days if you want to Cry- do it , but get up again and fight back .


Watch this short clip & understand

Ye jo success hoti hai na , failure ke aage hamara intezaar kar rahi hoti hai.

It's sometimes like
Fail - Fail better - Win.


If you pass - fight more to convert it in mains . But if you fail then -
Do not worry , we are here. Jo bhi hoga sath mein dekh lenge , sambhal lenge.
Take care of yourself in next 2-3 days. ❤️
Watch this short clip. Dont cry but learn . 👇

Even if you are 1% spritual, then do you think anything is in your control ?
Even your own thoughts ?
Even this prelims result today which is already locked ?
Anything ?

Reality is - Nothing is in your hands my freinds. Just respect the opportunity you got , respect the situation wherever you are.
Trust the GOD. Respect HIS plans for you (whatever it may be) and go with the flow.

Rest already shared here whatever I wanted to say yesterday.
