As this beautiful journey of past four years draws to a close, I would like to share some of the lessons which I learned on the road to UPSC-CSE 2020 merit list.
1. With all humility accept your limitations and focus only on strengthening yourself. We can never have control over external influences which write our destiny. The Almighty's grace shall acknowledge our honest efforts and therefore you focus only on finishing your daily laps.
2. You are mostly alone in your defeats but the world rejoices in your victory. That is how life is. But there will be select few who would never let your boat sink even in the most stormy weather. Treasure them at all costs forever, they deserve it.
3. Start believing in the process even if it starts to take away every drop of your blood and sweat. Because the moment you realise your dream, you will find true meaning in those sufferings. The end-result itself is transitional if you truly believe that you gave your best version in the process.
So, as I write this with my heart full and paradoxically empty at the same time- filled with delirium and the void of leaving a version of myself which I grew to love- I want to extend my gratitude to everyone for their generous wishes in the past week. As the new journey, filled with challenges and excitement awaits me, I look forward to learning new lessons along the way. Thank you so much.
