@Behemothsaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

Delighted to see good bonding here on forum page, that's how should we treat each other. Envious environment serves no purpose. My best wishes to everyone here.

The content generated today at this thread is much richer than I think combined content in last 30 days. You all are really so talented, so inspiring, just keep the positivity in the forum no matter what the result is. Remember the importance of journey lie in the journey itself not only in d destination. We all tried, we all perspired, we all learned, so we all are winner irrespective of d result. Just remember this famous quite that most of u are already aware of:
it's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Roosevelt.

"You found yourself in your struggle. The truth is what you came for, and you found it within your strife."
It's surprising how we often find inspiration in the least likely places, and how moments of struggle bring out the best in all of us. This quote is from Brooklyn nine nine, and I think this is only apt for tonight. Also, while awaiting for the dreaded mains result, we all found a reason that's going to make us push harder, irrespective of the outcome. And those of us who still feel jittery, guys it's okay to take your time as long as you reach your goal.
P.S. after reading these messages, I deleted telegram. I'm done speculating when that PDF will become, I'm now prepared for whatever is in store for me.
Cheers guys, and All the best, for the results and life?

From the movie Troy

Messenger Boy: Are the stories true? They say your mother was an immortal godess. They say you can't be killed.

Achilles: I wouldn't be bothering with the shield then, would I?

Messenger Boy: The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.

Achilles: Thats why no-one will remember your name.

@KatsumotoI never really felt bad about failing 2 prelims before until I wrote the mains exam this year. The atmosphere was unreal to me. I've seen aspirants with dengue take injections right before they entered the exam hall. There was hope all around. Parents helping their children out with this and that. Spouses encouraging each other to do well. Aspirants who were trying to utilize the lunch break. Aspirants who have written 3 or 4 mains. If I had seen all this during my first attempt itself, I would have definitely worked much harder. I am a changed man after the mains exam regardless of the result.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

Success? I don't know what that word means. I'm happy. For me, success is inner peace.
