[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
Why no one talks about how to handle the failure, everyone is talking about clearing it.
You handle it by living through it. By accepting it wholeheartedly. There are no two ways about it. I've wondered why people celebrate the winners so much and have no time for those who don't make it. It sucks, but that is simply how it is.
For some of us, if its our first failure, the dominant emotion would be one of sadness and then sudden motivation. This idea will probably fill your mind that you've hit a low, and that suddenly, you are going to change your life around.
I went through that the first time I failed. I was foolish enough to trust it and went about life as usual with no introspection. I studied hard for a month or two. And then, I didn't at all. For months on end. There is a long gap between the results of one prelims and the next prelims. Sudden motivation is the biggest piece of bullshit most of us can believe in.
Sure enough, I failed the second prelims. Again by the same margin of one question. Now this one was truly devastating. It sent me on a downward spiral towards rock bottom. The funny thing about rock bottom is that you never know when you hit it. You keep going down and down and down. Self doubt, insecurity, hiding yourself from even your wellwishers, thinking how you were only unlucky and doomed to always fail, you get the gist.
There's no easy way out of this spiral. I wish I could tell you there was. It took me real time and real effort. It meant being truly honest with myself, and accepting my own inadequacies. It meant learning humility. It meant showing the courage to actually make myself get through each and every single day. It meant showing the will to get up and fight when my own inability to get myself to work towards my goals knocked me down over and over again. Even when I tried, I failed still many at times. Trying again felt so much like a burden that I was on the verge of letting this all go. Yet, I kept trying to meet my daily goals despite consistent failure.
Till now, there has not been a single day since Prelims 2018 which has gone completely according to my plan. However, it doesn't affect me anymore. As long as you are willing to try every single day, irrespective of the results, you will have something to cherish. This exam is not the end of the world. Focus on yourself. Introspect for the answers you seek. Try to do the things you truly want to do in life. Life does not have to stop for this exam. You are not a roll number. Just keep on trying to raise yourself up. If you can do that, you'll have handled failure.
