Author: G. Pavan kumar, teacher. How to succeed in Competitive Exams? This is a million dollar question. Everybody search for the easy ways to get success. Firstly, you have to know that the goal comes from your need or interest? If Concern towards the success comes from your interest, it gives you inspiration so that effort for success should give as pleasure as success gives you. But ‘the need of success’ generates the fear of failure. We more concentrate on the ‘success’ than the ‘effort towards success’, which gives us anxiety. So, the effort towards the success is more important than the success. In this regard we have to consider the following: 1. Get pleasure from the subject you elect. It gives you inspiration. The inspiration simplifies your effort. 2. Prepare the ‘material’ for the syllabus from various sources. Standard material makes things easier. 3. Prepare a PLAN (Time Table) for the preparation. The plan should be easier and the implementation should be solid. No negligence in the implementation should be occurred. Once the PLAN is prepared no alterations should be done. 4. Implementation of the PLAN is the crucial thing in whole preparation. Many aspirants get failure in this stage. If you want to get something, you should lose something. So you must leave the things which obstruct your goal. To succeed in the competitive exams pass the following four stages: 1. Knowledge 2. Understanding 3. Application 4. Skill I. Knowledge: In this stage the aspirant should remember the subject as it is in a book. Most of the people face struggles in this stage and they stops here. But if anybody stops here they will not get the success. II. Understanding: In this stage in order to remembering subject, the aspirant understands it and gets the ability to explain it. They give the reasons, examples and find the differences in that subject. They can find the relationship between the topics. The aspirant who reaches this stage is at the half of his goal. If luck permits they will succeed in their goals. III. Application: In this stage instead of thoroughly understands the subject the aspirant applies this knowledge in many other unknown situations. They completely understand the subjects they elect. 75% of this kind of people will get success IV. Skill: Skill depends on how accurately and speedily the aspirant analysis the subject. In this stage speed and accuracy is very important. If the aspirant reaches this stage they will surely succeed in their goals. Any aspirant who wants to succeed in the competitive exams should complete at least three stages stated above. Otherwise the success is like “Sour Grapes”. A person who gets the success will not have four hands or two heads. They are also common human beings like us. The difference between success and failure is interest and fear. So love your goal what ever it is. It gives you pleasure and success. Best of Luck. Some great quotes about success: “Dream and Aim are sensational words. Make your dream as your aim but never make your aim as your dream” remember it. Success and rest don't sleep together. Success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan. Success is doing what you like and making a living at it. Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started. Success leads to insolence. … [Read more...]
Review: 100 Days of UPA government
Author: Mona Gupta, New Delhi In spite of setbacks like drought, swine flu and Sharm el-Sheikh, UPA has made steady progress at the start of its second innings by taking some crucial steps. But it has plenty of problems to deal with. In its first 100 days, UPA 2 has had to negotiate some sharp bends with drought and swine flu but it hasn’t lost momentum. But then it has to run a five-year marathon. Following is the analysis of the first 100 days of the UPA government on 10 major sectors. 1. Judicial System: The judicial reform journey started three months ago with law minister Veerappa Moily. He had a smooth drive till now. Moily’s roadmap on judicial reforms had four major components • Make judges declare assets • Make them accountable for misconduct • Reduce the huge pendency of over 3 crore cases in trial courts and the high courts • Speed up the snail paced justice delivery system. The UPA government is in the final stages of preparing a blueprint on appointment of ad-hoc judges for clearing the backlog and tune up the justice delivery system to reduce the average life of litigation from 15 years to 3 years. Priorities: • To reduce pendency of 3 crore cases to manageable levels by 2011 • To reduce litigation life from 15 years to 3 years by 2011 • To bring in a law to make judges accountable for misconduct Misses: • Judges Assets Bill way off the mark, SC judges virtually make it redundant • Promise of laptops for trial court judges by 2009 not kept • No concrete plan to persuade states to increase trial court judges’ strength Challenges: • Finance. Will Centre assist states? • Executive’s role in appointment of judges • Will the impeachment mechanism finally be simplified? 2. National security: The home ministry continues to be on its toes, maintaining the pace it set last December while launching its grand plan of shoring up the country’s security and intelligence infrastructure after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. First 100 days of the second UPA government appears encouraging. There’s perceptible improvement in intelligence sharing, which shows in the fact that the country has not witnessed any terror incident beyond the disturbed zones of Jammu and Kashmir and Northeast. However, the continuing Maoist mayhem remains a major concern particularly. The recent chief ministers’ conference on naxal issues showed encouraging results with non-UPA ruled states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and West Bengal showing signs of narrowing differences over security matters. Hits: • Four NSG regional hubs — Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai — get operational on time • Peaceful conduct of Amarnath yatra, World Badminton Championship and Independence Day celebrations despite threats Misses:• Increasing casualties among securitymen in anti-naxal ops • Jharkhand, despite being under central rule, continues to be a soft target for Maoists • Alleged fake encounter cases in Manipur virtually derail peace process, raising questions over methods of security forces Challenges: • Ridding states of naxal presence. Hope rests on the upcoming grand anti-naxal operation • Strengthening nationwide security, intelligence infrastructure • Handling the boiling Northeast. Focus has to be on a solution to Naga issues; elimination of Ulfa in Assam 3. Health: Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has probably been the country’s busiest cabinet minister. With a global pandemic — the first in 41 years — threatening to infect two billion people across the globe over the next two years, which includes 33% of India’s population, health minister has his hands full. Besides swine flu, Azad’s crusade against fake drugs has made his critics sit up and take notice. Ghulam Nabi Azad has also been working hard to fill vacant medical posts in rural areas. Doctors willing to work in farflung areas have been told they will earn double of their urban … [Read more...]
