The entrance exam is basically a game of passion, right? We have to do things that we have never done and we have to push ourselves you know the advantage of having people like Ravi sir, Apurv sir, and Zainab ma’am are they’re very passionate people. I mean I was listening to Ravi sir’s speech and you know you can see the way he was speaking, the passion that he was showing that is what makes all the difference. He very rightly said that content is no longer a problem.
The problem is organization. The problem is you know continuing to you know walk towards your goal. So, now that you are here and now that you are in the safe hands of passionate people, very intelligent people, highly accomplished people, right? Who have proven themselves that would not be a problem.
You have something to look up to and the second thing is to take advantage of the fact that there are so many of you sitting here, right? When we study alone or when we study with small groups, there are some advantages but there are some disadvantages.
Company is what you need and Dr. Ravi was very nice saying that you know some tests you would not perform well, right? The person sitting next to you might be doing well but please remember rather than getting jealous. Jealousy is a very normal human emotion.
It comes out very naturally. It is a very basic human emotion but it is a very bad emotion. Why is it bad? Nothing good comes out of it.
See, if you are angry, you can still say that I will do it. If you are sad, you do something good in life. If you are happy, you do something good.
When you are jealous, you do nothing. You just burn yourself. So, and it’s a matter of you know it’s just tweaking the thought in your head.
When the person sitting right next to you performs better than you rather than thinking, how did he do it? How did this donkey do it? Right? Rather than saying that, if you just tweak the thought in your mind that he is doing it, let me see what can I do. Let me learn from him. Just that one sentence in your brain and your emotion changes.
Rather than feeling jealous, you start feeling motivated. See, it’s a mental game. Finally, you have to keep changing all these thoughts, right? This is what you have to do.
Don’t be jealous. Learn from others. Motivate yourself and enjoy this wonderful camp.
All the best.
