Students’ Speak: Give your best and don’t think about the consequences

By: Madhav Sharma

Fear is nowhere, it is just in your mind. If you think that there will be some bad consequences after doing any task then automatically you will be afraid to do that task.

So, you should have known about the consequences but you shouldn’t think about this all the time otherwise you will not be able to give your 100 percent for that particular task. Let’s take an example to be clear about it. When you start learning to ride a bicycle, most of the time you will not be able to ride your bicycle the first time. You will fall while learning, you will get up and will try again. And finally, you will be perfect after some time. But from the start, if you will just think about falling down from your bicycle then maybe you will never try to ride it.

So, you will fail even without attempting for once. So, the first thing that you should never leave is practice. You should always try without thinking much about the consequences. We all have heard it somewhere that practice makes a man perfect. And it is true because of the number of times you will do any task, it will be easier for you to do the same task in the next attempt. And one day you will be perfect in doing that task.

Now if we talk about students, they fear that they will fail in exams, they will not get good placements, they will not be able to make a good career, etc. While preparing for any exam be it JEE Main or JEE Advanced or CAT, you should be positive about the result. You shouldn’t think that you will fail in that exam. The more you will be positive, the better the result will be. Give your 100 percent while preparing for the exam and don’t think about the result. Because if you think about the result all the time then you will not be able to prepare yourself. So, while preparing for your exams, forget about all other things and just be focused on your preparation and exam. And talking about placements, if you have cleared your basics and you have good command on your subjects then you will definitely get good placement. And you will have a good path for your career.

So, you should never think about the consequences and results. Because if you do this then you will be afraid to try to do that as well. And always be focused on your preparation rather than the result. And always remember one thing, try to learn from your failure. Because failure always gives lessons. You will get to know about the reasons for your failure. And it's not bad to take support. Getting support and being dependent are two different things. Never be dependent on anyone but you can ask for some support from someone whom you trust. So, keep practicing and keep learning from failures because one day you will definitely get success. At least try to do it, because if you will not try then you will not learn anything. And remember one thing that failure is the first step to success.
