Firstly let me tell you that when I started preparing, I had never thought that I would be penning down my thoughts to help fellow aspirants some day. So, its a great feeling, a surreal one.. and feel really blessed that my thoughts can help someone. Earlier, when I used to read other toppers’ strategies, I found it hard to believe when they used to say that they never expected getting a good rank. I would think ..no no ..they must have been really good at preparation/studies etc and must have been aware of their intellect and quite confident of their success. But trust me, with the benefit of hindsight; I can say that when we start, we start with self doubt, lack of confidence, fears and uncertainties. Quite quite possible, one of you reading this strategy here will emerge as a top ranker next year.
So, I would say- start wherever you are, at whatever stage you are, full of apprehension, full of self doubt or lacking self belief BUT remember the only way you can go is UP..higher and higher….and that is doable when you are ready to slog yourself, work diligently and remain optimistic.
