Refrain from blaming luck for your failure



I am not lucky, I belong to poor family, I could not afford higher studies, if at that time I could have got the guidance I would have also raised. These all are lame excuses.

We must refrain ourselves not only to narrate but to think like that. Blaming luck is wastage of time & energy as others will not take the point and chances are high that it may turn out to be inferiority complex which is injurious all the way. 

Equation in any case has changed & it is now 90:10 that is hard work followed by luck. After having worked or executed as per plan, whatever are left over chances based on hard work can be termed as luck. 

MBA aspirants who wish to clear CAT can’t afford to think in any term other than well planned preparation.

Be objective about failure and find out reasons

It is rightly said that failures create new opportunities. Impossible says I am possible. Likewise many motivational adages can be found but it is certain that those who accepted failures gracefully have come back with new aggression and had been winners.

Reasoning is to find objectivity in failure and faux pas for not accepting it. Who did not fail? Gandhi, Faraday, Archimedes, Edison and off late space projects even. 

The more detailed operation of finding reasons of failure is done, that definitely compels one to accept and come up with new dimensions. 

Many comeback stories can be read and absorbed but with nil exception to the golden rule that none of the failure lost heart and most of them vowed to do so differently and that lead them become legendary in this competitive world.

Take time off; try something new



Monotony will definitely creep in while doing job or project in monotonous way. That’s the attitudinal problem and needs immediate action plan to rectify. 

Interest and enjoyment are almost synonyms in regard to job on hand and it may be even exam preparation. If will power is lacking or interest is losing that means that we have followed others without putting our own thinking behind the project or preparation. 

Once we are clear then we need to shun previous shortcomings and rejuvenate yourself with fresh ideas. 

Take time off; try something new as that will help you to get new and freshness in your ideas.

If you are MBA aspirant then read some books on literature, religion,arts,social sciences while reading beyond text books, you will develop different horizon.

Avoid self Pity



This is the worst you can do to yourself. Situations may come wherein you might feel that if you would have done this or that, things could have been different. Mind it there are many ifs and buts.

Do not shut yourself off from the outside world. Continue to discuss with friends and peers alike and look forward to genuine comments so that failures can be worked upon. 

Having remorse is different than taking on failures head on and taking vow to reconstruct and come back with full force. That’s the way of winner and most of the successful personalities have adopted this basic only. 

Look at our own Yuvraj Singh. He not only came back but never gave any inkling to hide his cancer suffering and took so boldly that today he is as sought cricketer of Indian Team as he was earlier.

Ignorance is no excuse



Indeed it is clear that in PI there is absolutely no excuse on ignorance. Max you can say that “I am sorry I am not aware of” But that will open Pandora box of new and volley of lethal questions from PI selection panel. 

If the area of question is from domain knowledge of subject then it is for sure that rejection will follow but on the contrary if questions are of general nature then if not sure, you can positively be on tone of  admitting not knowing but better would be to supplement the willingness to learn the same in future.

Mind it, such a general advice likes above is also ignored many a times by all of us. We continue to sustain our own mind set which is injurious thus need to be changed. PI is also a test of reading and observing   positive mind set of the candidate.

Work it out and be successful in PI.
