Common Sense For UPSC

Common attributes of the toppers: 1. They are single-minded about what they want. They don’t chase multiple goals like – making money, finding a date and also clearing UPSC. 2. They are willing to put in 100% effort without the fear of failure. 3. They don’t stop when they are tired, they stop when they are done. They always go that extra mile, squeezing and making the most of every single day of their preparatory time. 4. They are not afraid of making mistakes. They learn from their mistakes and those of others too and don’t repeat them. 5. They set very realistic goals and plan for them. Not a super-human 14 hours a day schedule, that makes them run out of steam in 2-3 days. 6. They are not too emotional about success and failure in the examination. They approach the subject clinically like a doctor, do what is needed and move on. 7. They have the capacity to delay gratification. They aren’t hankering after immediate success. They are willing to put the effort that it takes today, kn...

She is a human being. She smiles a lot. She is taller than me. Here's a proof: I met her at CP, New Delhi, last weekend. She was being accompanied by her friend when I saw her. I didn't recognize her at first instant though her face was quite known to me. She was like an ordinary citizen. She was walking slowly and was engrossed in talking to her friend. I started following her and patted on her left shoulder. Me : Excuse me! *she turns back smiling* What's your good name? Tina : Yes, I am Tina. *we shake hands* Me : *don't know what to speak* I..err..never expected to meet you here. I thought IAS officers are always protected by security guards and the UPSC topper must be having a Z+ security. Tina : *she replied smiling* My house is here in CP, I was just going to the vehicle parking area. What's your name? *She stopped walking and started talking* Me : I'm Kshitij. Tina : So Kshitij, How did you recognise me? *she asked this with a grin on her face* ...

करोड़पति बनने के बहुत से व्यापार है मगर इससे पहले करोड़पति बनने का आपके अंदर जुनून होना चाहिए। जब तक आपके अंदर जुनून नहीं होगा तब तक आप करोड़पति नहीं बनेंगे । जब तक आपके अंदर अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने का ताकत नहीं होगी तब तक आप करोड़पति नहीं बनेंगे। मैं आपके साथ एक व्यक्ति का प्रेरणादायक कहानी प्रस्तुत करता हूं। एक व्यक्ति जिसके बारे में मैंने सुना है उसने अपने लक्ष्य प्राप्त करने के लिए कई उतार-चढ़ाव देखे। मगर अंत मैं वह करोड़पति बना। उसका नाम सुमित मलिक था उसने अपने जीवन में कई उतार-चढ़ाव देखे उसने कई व्यापार किए। शुरू के व्यापार में असफलता मिली। सुमित मलिक मध्यमवर्ग के परिवार से था उसके पिताजी जी बहुत शरीफ और मेहनती इंसान थे उसने अपने पिताजी से मेहनत और लगन के सारे गुण प्राप्त किए थे सुमित मलिक अपने आप में एक शक्तिशाली और मेहनती इंसान था सबसे पहले उसने जो व्यापार शुरू किया। उसने किताबों का कार्य शुरू किया। दिल्ली के बाजारों में जा जाकर किताबें बेची। दरियागंज दिल्ली का पुरानी किताबों का बहुत बड़ा बाजार है वह वहां से किताबें खरीदता और दिल्ली के कनॉट प्लेस बाजार में बेचता। काफी समय त...

My lovely wife takes care of my study table. She doesn't jumble my books and notes. I am grateful to her. A neat and tidy table helps me in studying for longer hours without interruption. I've started preparing 3 months back and aiming for few exams in coming time, SSC being one of them. Sharing a picture with her when she bought few plants for the study table in order to increase my productivity and positivity while I am at it. To be honest, I get all the positivity and motivation just by looking her put these efforts. Thank you. Source : Rohit Kumar Fagna

Your holistic time changes means you need to get up at a time which your flight demands. If your flight is 3 in the morning you need to report at 2. Sometimes the flight times are odd like 3 in midnight. It is really disturbing at times because this profession disturbs your sleeping pattern You don't get much holidays means there are no specific holidays example in a normal business there is holiday on Sunday but in aviation business you don't get holidays on specific day or festivals like Diwali , holi or raksha bandan. (You get sick leaves in aviation but for specific leaves you need to report earlier ) Sometimes the passengers get too aggressive with air hostess. Example I saw in a interview where a passenger asked for a drink multiple times. Air hostess catered to her need but when she knew she can't provide more drink to passenger. She denied but the passenger behaved aggressively shouting at air hostess. Air hostess have to become guardian for passengers till air hos...
