Being a student, we are more scared of our exams than we can ever be from monsters or even from zombies. Have you questioned yourself why? Let's talk about why today.
Not only in CA, but students of all competitive exams have to deal with same situation. Examiners flunk by 1 marks and that cost them month or sometimes year making them feel worthless. They start questioning their ability, sometimes even their existence. All the negative voices that surround you will slowly demolish like a old building with weak roots once you start raising your positive voice.
We get so involved with our syllabus, books and lectures that we forget that we have a social life, family and friends. Spending hours in the library or on our study table we fail to see bright sunny day outside or hear beautiful music that is produced by rain during monsoon, and in winters cold waves touching our cheeks and making them red. We, students, have created our own world which is nothing but a loop of syllabus, exams and stress. And if after all these efforts we fail to clear our exams or fail to achieve expected results we are filled with sorrow. This sorrow and sense of regret grows more deeper because we fail to communicate this with our loved ones, Remember exams are part of life not the heart of life. Just opening up your heart and thoughts to them will help you wash out all toxins of your mind.
MYSTERY-A DAY BEFORE EXAMS
We are not talking about students who complete their syllabus a night before the exam but students who were truly engaged in preparation throughout the year. A night before the exam our minds is filled with dejection. We already assume that we are not able to present our exam as per expectation. This negative assumption leads us to a state of rejection where we reject ourselves and our ideas which leads us to make blunder mistakes in our exams. Even if we know the answer we will doubt ourselves because we have already presumed that we are going to make mistakes. WHEN LIFE IS ALREADY FULL OF SILLY MISTAKES IT'S BEING WISE TO EXPECT THAT IN 'EXAM PAPERS' TO-SOURCE UNKNOWN.
Everyone is aware of the fact that before exam we have to complete our syllabus, do multiple revisions, solve previous year's questions, attempt mock test papers but these things are sometimes not enough, even after all this we may face failure and this is normal in all competitive exams.
Let's discuss what more to do other than these already known points to keep yourself calm. firstly, take a chill pill and be confident about your preparation. A free mind is always an efficient learner than a mind which is full of unnecessary thoughts.
Secondly, don't stress yourself about what you will see in question paper, stressing yourself for these needless thoughts will create a pyramid of thoughts on top of which negativity lies.
And at last centralize yourself on what you have already studied rather than what you haven't. Make sure even if you know 70% of the syllabus you know it 100% and with confidence.
Being an Indian once in your life you have heard,"karm kar fal ki chinta mat kr", this sometimes get tough because even after making all possible efforts, after all sleepless night we face failures but may be instead of a single of fruit you are going to have a garden of the tree which will be full of fruits so it will take time. Exams will never teach you how to deal with life as a person. The best teacher is experience learned from failures. At the end you are capable enough to collect all your thoughts which appear as a jigsaw puzzle collecting them all, arranging them will turn them in a beautiful picture called life. Hope this helps all students out there questioning themselves, "why they are stuck at just one part of life?"
MOVE WITH FLOW ….
