I had to keep that thing in my mind all the time du ring exam preparation that only 5-6 People are going to pass out of 100. Writing the correct answer and expecting to get the marks would have been the biggest mistake I could have done. Because I cannot underestimate other participant in the contest, that’s why I assumed that everybody is going to put their efforts for the sam e exam, and among 100 it’s obvious that atleast 30-35 people can give the right answer for any part icular question but not all the 30-35 are going to Pass the Exam. Clear enough. So, writing the correct answer and expecting a spot in top 5 represents that I am still the poor guy who didn't understand the game yet. And there's absolutely no place for the weak people in exams like CA, hence there's no choice but to be Strong. Knowing all these things I was bound to put extra e fforts, something which majority of the students might not be doing in their preparation. I researched, I surfed, I asked and then found few things. I did it and frankly it was a blind game because I didn't know whether it’s going to work or not. But taking the risk again is only option which may give you return. And on the other side I was happy somewhere because the moment I decided to do something extra was the moment I sepa rated myself from rest of the world. In my eyes I was no more a person picked up from the crow d. First you only have to feel that you are special and then the world will participate in your belief.
