Be Confident for Your Main Examination - Wishing you All the Best for Your Entrance examination
Dear Students,
Be confident: Often you
become very anxious about whether you will get high marks or not. But if your
teachers have prepared you well and you have put in your best, and then never
fear Have faith in yourself there is greatness and capacity in all of us. Jf you are well prepared don’t doubt yourself
Be confident. Prepare well but once that is done. do not worry confidence comes
when we
(a) have prepared well;
(b) have faith in ourselves;
(C) have the blessings of teachers and parents and
(d) have faith in goodness arid justness.

Comparisons are odious:
There are many weaknesses in us. On the one hand we prepare well but on the
other hand. We sometimes feel jealous when we compare ourselves with those who
are better prepared. Each one of you is unique in your own way. Just do your
best.
Be consistent: Have
consistency and some control over your senses. During examination time, don’t
get distracted either by external or internal temptation. 1 Keep your selves in
control. Keep your mind clear for studies. Keep away from all sources of
distraction at least on the few days of your final revision.
Understand what you study:
When you read a book try to understand It; don’t try to cram it or blindly memories
it. When you try to cram, It makes you nervous because then, if you suddenly
forget one word, you are likely to forget the whole paragraph.
Don’t study just for marks:
Good marks alone don’t make ti you successful in life. It is how many marks you
got by understanding the subject that matters. Therefore try to study with the
idea of absorbing and retaining the knowledge.
Picture what you study: A simple
but very effective way to remember some-thing is to visualize it and retain it
as a picture. Once you have read a particular page or your notes, close your
eyes and see those notes in your mind. If you study with this type of
concentration, your memory will be very good and you will remember what you have
learnt for a long time.
Fight the tendency to copy:
In copying, half your time passes In thinking when and how to copy How much time
is wasted in merely thinking of copying! Have faith yourself for honesty pays. Along
because one day all this is going to help you in the journey of life.
Set big goals: Let not
getting marks or admission to a course be your only goal. Let knowledge be your
goal.
Never despair if things do not
go Your way: Remember you are never a failure unless you think you are one.
Do your best and life will bring you the best?
Plan a job not just for money
but to serve more: Don’t take a ob just for money. Take a job to serve
people and benefit them more and more. If you want to become an engineer, dream
of building the best structures. When you plan to serve others you will never
compromise your values. Whatever you want to become, dream of serving others as
much as is possible by you. Money will automatically come but your real
satisfaction will be from your service. Such people become truly great. And
this is the greatness that every child ought to achieve. I wish you the best in
your examinations, professions and your entire life wherever you are, God’s
love will always be with you. (Swamiji is director, Chinmaya International
