Once Upon an IAS Exam - K. Vijayakarthikeyan

 

  • You haven't failed. Your success has been postponed.
  • Never do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.
  • Doing nothing was toughest job in the world.
  • Hadn't done many practice and mock test before the exam.
  • A winner is not the one who never loses, but the one who never quits.
  • We get a lot of questions. Some we know, many we may not know. But if we can get into the habit of judging the difficulty of the questions and attempt only the questions we know and leave the toughies, we will succeed for sure!!
  • But only thing is we should at least know the bare minimum to attempt a good amount of questions.
  • The early bird will catch the worm.
  • Smart work, rather than hard work. And luck, let's leave it to God. Let's make the best use of the next three months. It's now or never.
  • Only sincere preparation is in our hands, but there are so many things that are beyond our control.
  • 32.61 words to be written per minute.
  • Cricket has solution to even the most complex problems of life.
  • Write what little I knew for every question, in a sequential manner.
  • Dhoni smacked Kulasekara's over-pitched ball into the stands over long on. It's how he handles situation. Be it success or failure., the way he handles himself makes him very special. Even before the start of the world cup final, he was heavily criticized for not scoring enough runs. He chose not to respond to criticism, but rather let his bat do the talking.

Are you constantly exhausted, feeling like you are paddling against the current? I recently watched a powerful TEDx talk that challenges the modern obsession with "hustle culture." ❌ Upstream Effort Paddling fiercely against the current. Exhausting, unproductive, and leads to burnout. ✅ Downstream Effort Flowing with the current. You still row (effort), but you align with life's flow and enjoy the journey. 3 Key Insights ...

 Main Points from the Biography Sadness is a global phenomenon and everlasting one. It need seperate and deep study Belief creates division. You isolate into a group either to protect from other group or to dominate over other group. Organised religions are rooted in divisive tendencies. All the holy texts leads you to blind beliefs and rituals. It's better to stay away from it. You can't learn anything from texts or others. You may get fact/technique but cannot learn truth and pleasure. Never ever believe in anything. You don't need to. You must not go behind power, position, money. There is no state as that of teacher and student. There is only information exchange. When you become universe, all the divisions (caste, religion, sex, nationality, organisation) will be destroyed. Always be alone, and always meditate. never meditate on god or symbols. it may lead you to hallucinations. just meditate on you. Any person who says they can give you supernatural experiences are fr...

Stop Doubting Yourself and Go After What You Really, Really Want

💖 Self-Doubt & Self-Love Stop Doubting Yourself and Go After What You Really, Really Want Source: Mario Lanzarotti  |  TEDxWilmington ❤️ The One-Line Takeaway Self-doubt is not a defect to eliminate, but a signal that we need more self-love—something we can respond to by sharing our doubts, accepting ourselves, and forgiving our past. In this heartfelt talk, Mario Lanzarotti reframes self-doubt in a radical way. Instead of seeing it as an enemy that must be destroyed, he presents it as a misunderstood friend—a voice that appears whenever our self-love tank is running low. Rather than chasing a fantasy of being “fearless,” this perspective invites a softer courage: to share our doubts, to stay connected ...
