@kochikaamesaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:
@DKT1 lakh log Nahin dete CivilS vaise. Nonetheless, UPSC is a very professional organization compared to the fucked up SPSCs.
Roughly 7 + 2 language Papers i.e. 9 Copies per student so for around 10000 students
a rough estimate of 1 lakh copies seems to be correct.
To everyone who is bothered by repeated questions of peers/parents/friends/relatives
I have just one tip for you:
Have confidence.
Not that you will clear it.
Just that you are chasing/chased what you want to do.
Answer with overwhelming confidence that you tried and could not clear (if you couldn't)
One of my friends once commented that "ab tum nahi kar sakte"
since I could not clear in 4 attempts.
I just asked him one thing:
"Tell me a single goal in your life that you have chased"
An awkward silence followed then
His reply was "I got married" (Sach ye tha k he loved someone else and married acc to his parents wish)
So it does not matter, and even if it does a little bit.
NEVER DESPAIR!!
Be so frigging PROUD of yourself that you tried something while so many among us are just dead fish flowing in the stream.
I have personally seen that when I reply confidently to people that "I am unemployed" stumps far more people positively than sheepishly saying "preparing for the upsc."
So just have confidence no matter whatever comes.
@ST
Trust me it has less to do with Spine but more with the practical application.
I have tried both methods of staying sheepish and being confident.
And after reading extensively about how people respond to confident people no matter where they are in life and testing that hypothesis. I saw that it really works.
The more I squirmed about the fact I could not clear, more it bothered AND the more confidently spoke about it failures, not only people talked less of it. It stopped mattering to me
And frankly, I felt that too.
I will suggest you trying that for a few days as an experiment and see the results thereafter.
Yeah totally !!@TeddyWestside
To quote Tyrion
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."
@CaesarActually not.
They had first approached Delhi HC but the case was dismissed and they were directed to file a petition in CAT and so they did.
