I will give you a step by step guide on how you can make the biggest academic comeback of your life because the moment you clicked on this video, you decided that you want to do something better, you decided that you want to achieve something more. And you don't want to waste all your time scrolling through Instagram or YouTube. The most important thing is that you know that you have the potential, you have the capability that if I work hard, I can do this and if you watch this video carefully, I promise that in the next eight to nine minutes you will get an approach to improve your life. Let's start the video without wasting any more time My first question to you is why did you start preparing for any exam
0:47 ? Means you must have thought something like brother I have to grow up in life. I have to raise the name of parents in the society, I have to earn respect , I have to earn money. Somewhere we were not able to work as hard as was required and like this I keep getting this feeling that I have the potential, I can do it, I can do it. And the connection with the brain gets missed. After repeated setbacks, sometimes doubts start arising as to whether I will be able to do it? Do I have what I need? In such a situation, I want to say just one thing. We all have worked hard somewhere in our lives , be it board exams or any sport or anything else in life. Do you know how to work hard? Do you know what that feeling is like? You also know that even if I have become a little
1:32 average recently or might have become average but if I put in the right efforts and work hard then I can definitely do this. I have what I need and to tackle this situation I made this video. I want to give you. 10 practical steps that can help you make the biggest comeback of your life. Step one is to set a goal that I personally want to become an IPS officer or there is no specific goal. I will have to be more specific in this. Like I have to clear UPSC 2025 under 100 rank. As soon as you do this, your next actionable step gets cleared, because a goal is useless without an actionable step. For example, now you have to see how many marks those who got
2:18 under 100 rank last year had , how many marks they had, how many come in Mains, how many in UPSC? So your first step becomes that you have to do everything to make it clear , when we have long term goals, we have to ensure that we give our 100% to achieve them. This is the biggest step. To achieve any goal. There was a dialogue of Ranchho in 3 Idiots, don't run after success. Run after excellence. You have to run after success, this is all you have to do. While preparing for any exam, focus on getting a little better everyday. Learn the things that you don't know, work extra hard on the things that seem difficult. Don't be afraid of taking tests because they are the only way you improve. And what
3:03 needs to be done to improve? I have to set measurable daily goals, make measurable daily targets and ensure that no matter what happens, I will achieve them. Disappear from social media platforms, keep aside all friendships, relationships for a while, just for the next five-six months. Because to prepare for any exam you will have to give at least five to six months. You will have to make sacrifices in these five months. Sacrifice distraction , sacrifice self-pity, tough things are not achievable without sacrifice. If you are getting less time to complete your daily target then either get up early in the morning or sleep late at night, do whatever you have to do but complete your daily target. Don't be afraid of leaving friends and don't be afraid of people forgetting you. It's okay if your friend circle starts ignoring you.
3:50 People who care for you, who really want your success, will always be with you and if you feel that these people will leave you, then remember son, the day when success comes, right? That day even 10 year old friends call up and say congratulations brother, you got selected. Do n't discuss your goals. There is a scientific reason behind this, that as soon as we discuss our goals with people, with friends, dopa is released in our brain. We think that we have achieved something but in reality we do not achieve anything. I am preparing for UPSC, I will clear it this year , I have taken a resolution and then we do not work hard actually. Don't tell this to people. Keep your goals in your mind. Keep it secret, no matter what. Just
4:36 tell your parents and your brother. Work quietly and show everyone with your success. There will be no shortcut to hard work if you are thinking of joining a coaching institute, taking two classes and then chilling for a bit and going to sleep. Thinking that I will do it comfortably from tomorrow, this is not hard work. This is a routine life that every person is leading. The real hard work will happen when you are getting up at 4:00 in the morning when you are putting in extra ordinary effort because if you don't put in extra ordinary effort , you won't get extra ordinary output. Many people say that I wake up at 4 in the morning and study. I can't do it. Study at 4:00 a.m. I study till 4:00 a.m. so every person is different. You should set your own goals, don't follow anyone else blindly. I have tried applying this thing in my own life. When I was giving my first and second attempts
5:22 , I felt I was studying too much. But I would just read NCERT books. I did not give tests, did not do anything. I worked really hard in the second attempt. I used to wake up at 6:00 in the morning. I used to study 10-12 hours every day and push myself as much as I could. I used to push my limits. Unless you make this effort you wo n't get results. You must understand this. You will have to focus. Lala, you will have to work hard only then your life will change. Remove negativity from your life , this is a very important fact, whether it is a toxic friend, a relative, a random YouTube video that just keeps on saying this is a scam, that is a scam, the world has gone bad , the world has sunk. Cut out all these things because you know a little negativity can spoil the whole day, the whole week.
6:09 When you are already investing so much focus then it is very important to remove this negativity. You have to take this step for yourself. Remove all negative influences so that you can focus only on your goals. Dopamine is a chemical in our brain that rewards us just by thinking about doing something. Nowadays we are flooded with cheap dopamine from all sides. Dopamine is coming from everywhere – phone, social media, sugar, entertainment. But if you want success, then you will have to quit these dopamine activities because until you stop these things, small triggers will keep distracting you again and again. Remember some 5-6 years ago we used to watch long videos. 30 minutes, 40 minutes, one and a half hour. Now
6:56 we think five times before watching a 25 minute video. On one hand we watch 500 reels out of which we do not remember anything, so it is in our hands to control all this. You have to change the wiring of your brain. The neurological circuit which has changed has to be reset so that you get dopmen when you work hard, when you give a test, when you complete a chapter, when you achieve your targets, when your dopmen comes from these things, then you become unstoppable, your will becomes unbreakable, your dopmen, this chemical is dopmen, a very small word but it plays a very major role. You have to take the first step towards your success. You have to make a plan , you have to be organized. If
7:42 you have set such a big goal then preparing without a plan will achieve nothing. Lala I keep sharing detailed plans targets with you, but you have to organize yourself. for yourself until you know what you have to do this week or what you have to do today. If you do random things and think that I studied but I am not getting any results then this will not work. Nothing is going to be achieved through disorganized studies. You have to organize the steps and this is not only for UPSC or Civil Services but is valid for any competitive exam. Do you know what your weak subject is? Do you know where the problem arises? I ca n't make plans for you. Nobody else can make it brother, until you see for yourself where I have to work,
8:30 where I am standing, you are in Delhi, I can make a plan for you from Bombay to New York, don't you know you are in Delhi, you have to go from Delhi to New York, son, all the best books and resources are available everywhere for free these days, but you will have to do the work, workaholic is a word, become a workaholic. Do n't collect everything together. Don't become a PD collector brother, focus on those things that will amplify your strengths and remove your weaknesses. Remember this. As long as you keep doing this, I can guarantee that you will score well in your academics this year. what will you bring? Just by reading books and underlining you do n't remember anything and everyone talks about competition. There is so much competition, competition is everywhere. It will
9:17 increase everywhere and will increase even more. Exams will become more challenging, so you and I will have to upgrade our study techniques too. Active Recall Method Numonics Mains Maps Pomoto Timers I have told you 10 times to do active recall. Bring all these things into your schedule for revision. I have discussed these earlier, you can check them but the simple logic is that the exam is evolving so you will also have to evolve. Come on boys, make 2025 your biggest academic year yet. Fly so high with your hard work, determination and wrestling, that people around you see and fly away. Brother, this person was a complete jerk, how did he do it, alright, thank you so much for having me, thank you so much
10:02 for your time, I wish you very good luck and all the best, may your journey be auspicious and happy. Om Namaste Shivay Arjun Singh, signing off
