“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why”
                     -Mark Twain

 Are you a weak student? You are finding it hard to be on top of your studies and crushing it? Do you think you are made for something else? Listen to me, its okay. I am also a student and I am not a topper. This does not mean that I am a failure. Life is a lot bigger concept than just passing an exam and getting a degree. You may not be good at school or college or university or wherever you are, but you must be good at something, something that you love, something that you crave to do. If you don’t already know what is that, then figure it out. All of us are designed to do something or the other in a way that is better than anyone else in this whole freaking world. Being a class topper is not the only thing.

Here in India, we have this orthodox notion that if you are academically highly qualified, then you are good for nothing. We feel ashamed of telling people that we are not highly qualified. Don’t be. Just don’t. Look at the world around you and look the people who have made it big in this world. Are they all THE most academically strongest people? No. Some are and majority are not. This is because they recognized what they were good at and they gave it their all to get that.
What we get taught in school is limited. But outside of that, there is a huge world of opportunities that is waiting for us to go and grab.

Of course education is important. If you are not educated you will fall behind in the world. But being educated doesn’t just mean to qualify exams and get good grades. It’s about learning how to do things that the world currently thinks is the best. But this should not limit you. Education is meant to give you the vision that will allow you to invent ways to do things that no one has ever thought of.

So, don’t get ashamed or be demotivated if you are not scoring good grades. It actually opens up the while world outside for you to explore, doing things that you are good at.

I am happy that I am not a class topper. And that is the reason why I am able to sit here and write this blog at 3 am in the morning, when I know that I have an exam at 8 am. I have the freedom of doing what I love, doing what makes me happy.

The MOST important thing for you to do is identify your strength. What you are good at, what you love, what gives you happiness and fulfillment? And then start chasing it. Because this is what you are born for. Not just passing exams to be the topper.

Cheers!!

The single greatest tip to learn anything with full interest!

The need to study with interest The most important aspect of learning something with complete understanding of the subject matter is having interest in the topic. The most common mistake that we do is just reading the topics, understanding it for the time being and then forgetting it after the exams are over. The reason is that we don't find interest. And when we don't find interest in anything, we send a signal to the brain that it is not important for the long run and thus the brain settles this information into the unconscious mind after we have lose touch with the topic. We need to find interest in the subject to let our brain know that it is important to us, which will enable it to store the information in the conscious mind. But how do we do that? The most important thing that we need to do in order to find interest in any subject is by asking ourselves the question, "How is this applicable to my life?" This is so important because when we realise the

This is why you should NOT get offended on being called BLACK

-
Are you black? Do you have a dark skin colour? Do you get offended when people call you a black guy? Yes? Why? What is the need to feel offended when you know that you are black? This is who you are. Why do you feel bad about it? Listen man, your skin colour never has and never will determine the potential you have within you. Your abilities and shortcomings have no relation to your skin colour. It is just the presence of higher melanin pigmentation in your body and nothing else. And even more funny, people with higher melanin pigmentation in their body have a lower chance of acquiring skin cancer. You should actually be proud of that . People who address you as a black guy will always keep on d oing if you show them that you are affected by it. This is because they called you that in the first place to offend you; and you did get offended. They want you to react to what they say because they enjoy it. This is the reason why they started it. They are already fucked up in the

3 techniques to concentrate better in your studies before exam

-
In order to talk about techniques to concentrate on studies, first it is essential to categorise students into 2 broad groups. The first group consists of students who study throughout the year/semester and hence it is easier for them to maintain concentration on their studies as they have been in practice all the time. The second category consists of students who pass their time without studying the whole year and just 10-15 days before the exam, they realise that it is high-time for them to start studying. And this is when they buckle under pressure and fail to concentrate on their studies. So the techniques that I am going to share here will be especially for those who have not been in the practice or studying for some time and all of a sudden have to concentrate really hard for their upcoming examinations. So here I have 3 techniques that will actually help both the categories. The first two are specially for the 2nd category students and the third one is for both. So let’s get
