Achieving something really splendid,requires enormous efforts and patience as well.

My class 12th:

I left my class 11th hostel and took a rented room with a friend. All the beautiful memories of class 11th hostel, all close friends and the comfortable environment of my hostel: all I had to leave. Only thing in mind was to crack medical entrance exam

1. My roommate was not studious. He just wanted to get a good percentage. Bit friction occured between both of us.
2. I had to lock myself for studies since in 11th I did not study much. I had to cover that too. you can understand the stress of covering 11th, 12th, board, medical entrance and engineering entrance in 1 year
3. We could not afford a good house or cook. Each day we had to struggle for food. I was missing the comfort of hostel.
4. I tried to avoid my close friends in hostel for 1 year many often.

That 1 year was like 1 lifetime. Each minute was a moment of struggle: related to studies, friends, food, accommodation.

Only thing that helped me was patience and consistent effort .

And finally I cracked both medical and engineering entrance exam and got into IIT Kharagpur.

This is the power of patience.

Were all those sacrifices worth it? Hell yeah

Life is a full circle. Again the time came.

Civil services preparation:

June 2016:

I put my best effort. Yet I could not qualify for 6 marks.

I had to restart everything from scratch.

June 2017:

I put everything possible this time. Last time I could not qualify just because of 6 marks. I put my heart into it. But again I failed.

It feels so disheartening when your whole year goes to waste. I thought to leave the preparation and work on my Start up full time. My personal life was at stake. My family's financial condition deteriorated.

Amidst all these distractions and struggles somehow my close friend persuaded me to give one more attempt. That one year was hell of a time.

It takes immense grit to get back to studies and study the same books, notes.

April 27 2018:

Finally patience paid off. I got into Indian Administrative service. (IAS)

Whenever I look back I see two things. If you want to achieve something big in your life, you need equal amount of effort and time.

So patience is the key. It keeps you motivated amidst all the negativities and it keeps you moving towards your goal.

Stay positive and work hard in right direction. You will win.
