Nice, tough hustle, isn’t it?😂

Muhammad Ali “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'”

An hour metro ride to Karol bagh for coaching and then, sometimes picking the final plate in the mess at night for 15 months, but not missing a single class was all in the process. Maintaining consistency nearly felt impossible!

“Success inspires you, motivates you but Failure teaches you & Teaching is more imp than mere inspiring. “

JEE taught me to be humble.

UPSC taught me patience and perseverance.

I tried very hard at JEE and the hardest at UPSC, adding them to my list of professional failures.

Hand in hand were the Personal failures which were equally bigger and disappointing.

But nothing has changed and I hope to continue adding to the above list, learning and growing on the way.

I now understand that maybe my peace is in the process, in the hustle, in the journey, and not in the destination after all & the majority learn this as they undergo the process,

My journey is the story of almost all the academically good students in India. He wants to get into IIT or Do MBBS and then try luck in UPSC ... Even after passing from IIT, he will join an International Bank or IT company no matter his choice of stream ( civil, mechanical, etc ) ... They are chasing a dream which is predominantly money ... They don't know what is their ultimate goal ... Their beautiful life is only after chasing some unknown dream .. some people have done IIT, IIM, UPSC and when they realize that this is not what they wanted, they became entrepreneurs .. my point is why try luck everywhere and waste the energy ?? Choose a goal and stick to it, enjoy the process, and make every second of it worthwhile
