i believe that the diff between 100 %ilers and the rest is that the 100%ilers believe that they can achieve the seemingly impossible task and they remain focussed..sure luck and being a genius helps them but then owing everything to luck seems so childish..its nt that lady luck is with just the 1000 odd ppl on CAT day or for that matter the rest of thier lives..
I guess once we are not able to cross a hurdle we start cribbin and believe that we were unlucky but the truth is that -if we honestly were prepared for it??? i can say this for myself that i too cribbed that the paper was tough and the markin system shudnt have been there but guys inspite of that some one wud still get a 100 %ile or close to it..why-coz they were prepared for all eventuality..they just didnt ride on lady luck for it.they knew that they could do it come what may and did exactly that...i guess eveything boils down to what u believe...
auto suggestion is something we all are aware of and cant say much abt it but yeah i seriously believe that u get what u feed in ur mind...i have seen ppl cramming things and learning the whole dictionary(no kiddin..have seen one of my freind do it) but even with all the prep there is an element of doubt in our mind that we are competing against so many ppl and if we wud able to get what we want...i guess there lies the problem and the solution too...i dont think the 100 %ilers even bother abt the competiton coz they know tht there is one seat lying vacant just for them and they work for it...
when i came bac home after my CAT i gave so many excuses to everyone and myself but the fact remains that i wasnt prepared. i was scared of the competition...and it doesnt help either to rue abe it..it doesnt even help when u find urself on the threshhold but not in yet...got 47.5..
had i studied something more..had i gone ahead and solved few more problems..who kows....in my case it was wishful thinking..sure i didnt have much time to prepare for it(left my job only in OCT) but then there wud be guys wud stil make it to the top inspite of facing mayb more obstacles, hurdles..i guess much more than i faced..
i dnt want to give ne gyan to neone..but i have learnt not to crib abt my situation.i still have got plenty oppurtunities(XAT,SNAP et al) but i also have learnt a valuable lesson...that winner instead of waiting and wondering what gonna happen next, go there and face it.This is not abt CAT or ne exam but i guess winners do all this all thier life.They dare to make the diffrence.
After all life is not just to survive but live.
