dear spring,


1. Believe in your dream.
Believing in your dream is essential to get the motivation you need to achieve it. You simply can’t fool your own heart. Deep down inside you know whether or not you can believe in your dream. Is the dream worth pursuing? Is it something that you want to pour your heart into?

2. Visualize your dream.
Can you imagine - in detail - how the world will look like when your dream comes true? Visualizing your dream will energize you because you can then see how the world changes for the better and how people live a happier life because of your dream. The energy and excitement is there for you to feel.

3. Expect a hard way ahead.
While it’s not impossible, achieving your dream is definitely not
easy. Don’t expect an easy way; expect a hard one instead. Having the right expectations from the beginning will make the journey much easier for you. That way, you won’t be surprised and lose heart when you encounter obstacles along the way.

4. Take one bite at a time.
Your dream may be big (it should be!) and that might make it seem overwhelming. But, like the saying says, “When eating an elephant take one bite at a time.” So take a small portion of it that you can handle. Think about something that you can do within one week, and then think about what you can do today. It could be as simple as calling a more experienced friend to ask some questions.
There is no doubt that you can eat the elephant. But the key is to take the bites early and often.

(9) Associate your dream with a song that you find particularly inspirational. When you are tempted to give in to temptation, listen to your song to rekindle your passion for your dream.


so,here goes my favourite song....



Baar baar haan, bolo yaar haan
Apni jeet ho, unki haar hoon


Koi humse jeet na paave
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Mit jaave jo takraave, chale chalo


Bhale ghor andheraa chhaave
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Koi raah mein na thaam jaawe, chale chalo


Toot gayi jo ungli utthi
Paanchon mili to ban gaye mutthi


Eka badhta hi jaawe
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Koi kitna bhi bahekaave, chale chalo
Koi humse jeet na paave
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Mit jaave jo takraave, chale chalo


Koi na ab roke tujhe, toke tujhe
Tod de bandhan saare
Mila hai kya hoke tujhe nirbal, tu hi bataa

Kabhi na dukh jhelenge, khelenge
Aise ke dushman haare
Ke ab to le lenge, himmat ka rasta


Dharti hilaa denge, sab ko dikhaa denge
Raja hai kya, parja hai kya, oh oh oh
Hum jag pe chhaayenge, ab yeh bataayenge
Hum logon ka darja hai kya, ho oh oh oh


Baar baar haan, bolo yaar haan
Apni jeet ho, unki haar hoon
Ab darr nahin mann mein aave
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Har bedi ab khul jaave, chale chalo


Chalaa hi chal, haanf nahin, kaanp nahin
Raah mein ab to raahi
Thakan ka saanp nahin ab tujhe dasne paaye


Vohi jo tera haaqim hai, jaalim hai
Ki hai jisne tabaahi
Ghar uska pachhim hai, yahan na bas mein paaye


Dharti hilaa denge, sab ko dikhaa denge
Raja hai kya, parja hai kya, oh oh oh
Hum jag pe chhaayenge, ab yeh bataayenge
Hum logon ka darja hai kya, ho oh oh oh


Jo hona hai, ho jaave
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Ab sar na koi jhukaave, chale chalo
Koi humse jeet na paave
Chale chalo, chale chalo
Mit jaave jo takraave, chale chalo


Baar baar haan, bolo yaar haan
Apni jeet ho, unki haar hoon

hey bhanu...

me too study for some two three days and i feel like takin a break already...

but this has just never worked out for me in the past...

so here's a suggestion.... see every once in a while u have to take a break... dont even attempt to read all 7 days with same intensity... instead... on the day u feel like takin a break study for a few hours only and take the rest of the day off...

i dont know if that makes any sense... i mean just dont go off on a complete break cause it just takes away josh n pace...


  #58

hi, thank you doctordee....

actually, it's a good idea to study for atleast 1-2 hrs even if u wanna take a break...

till now,i'm enjoying whole day and the mood continues for next day too...

here's anne sugggestion....supriya

i see mango hanging from tree,sticking out tongue mango in usa is not sweetdisapproval

hi supriya, how's study going! i am not a good person to advice, but its better to finish studies day time, like whole day, 8 hours, keep night time as optional. be persistent.

"Persistence is simply going against your obstacles and your emotions and accomplishing your task under any conditions."

MOTIVATION

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!

hey bhanu...thnx for dropping by and i hp ur studies are going fine .......i wont suggest to sit and read for long hrs ...i wuld rather say that sit for maximum an hr and then take break for 5-10 mins and in tht break leave ur room and just go outside the room and either take a stroll or freshen up ...then come back again and sit down for next hr and then keep repeating the same thing .....our brain stops working after 1 hr and if you will just sit and study for long hrs you wont be able to sink anything in ...so better to do active learning ...hp this helps and keep up the goood work ..when is ur exam ?? goood luck
