Being a rebel is not about bunking classes, wearing torn jeans, fighting with your parents, screaming that society sucks etc. Being a rebel is getting down to doing what you believe in, putting in hours of hard work, taking crazy risks and inspiring people to follow your path. Being a rebel is not cool. Its boring with lots of hard work.
Effort counts twice- Angela Duckworth
- Why students withhigh SAT scoredrop out more (an the end) atWEST POINT BEAST inUS -When you are challenged in a variety of ways in every developmental area- Mentally/Physically/Socially (The System will find your weakness).
- Scripps National spelling bee- How a kid with average verbal ability went further than those with good verbal intelligent. For example in FINAL ROUND INDIAN kid could correctly spell A-P-P-O-G-G-I-A-T-U-R-A (a musical term)------"We still have hard time in spelling/pronouncing "HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE". :D
Conclusion-
- Talent*Effort = Skill
- Skill*Effort = Achievement
Talent* (Effort)^2= Achievement

You know when I started meeting folks in the real world, ( as opposed to the virtual forumias world ) one of the key things that struck me was the variety of people that write civil services. It is difficult to imagine.
Among the first ten mock interviews that I took was of Pranjal
It was the first time I observed that why visually challenged candidates may not always score well in interview ( though normally we would think that the board will have sympathy with them ). And I also how extraordinary effort a lot of people have put in.
In retrospect, I have come to realise that people who may have studied all their lives , won laurels all throughout , with a sense of entitlement may always be beaten in the race by people who work hard now - despite their positive or negative backgrounds.
Some of the experiences I have had may look incredible even I told them - because they are difficult to believe.
So yes , effort beats genius anyday.
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति। || 2.63 || श्री भगवद्गीता
English Translation:
Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of the memory. When the memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined.
हिन्दी अनुवाद:
क्रोध से भ्रम पैदा होता है, भ्रम से बुद्धि भ्रष्ट होती है। जब बुद्धि भ्रष्ट होती है तब तर्क नष्ट हो जाता है, जब तर्क नष्ट हो जाता है तब व्यक्ति का पतन निश्चित हो जाता है।
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
