EXAM- Examining your Aptitude and Mental preparation is what we can define exam as.

Off-late I am finding exam fever so common in teens that I wonder what actually is getting cooked behind their brains. The present generations of teenagers are facing erratic problems in various paths of life as compared to the older generations.

Of course! The standard of the system is enhanced. The performance expectation is intensified. Pressure to achieve more has become a strong desire. Setting apart all that, we also need to understand that technology also has promoted many advantages to develop our skills and intelligence. Newer generations are born intellectuals with profuse grasping power.

Human mind is so powerful that it does not sit ideal for even a minute. The human mental ability is enormous, it is just that we need to cultivate it to think and deliver. A normal human being uses only 2% of his mental ability. Just think if we can increase it to the fullest, what would be the altitude we would actually accomplish to reach.

Today the glitch of teenagers is that their energy & intelligence is getting invested with no returns, so as to say there is no proper planning to exhaust their mental potentialities. The brilliancy is getting tapered with no
associated strategies.

But the ray of hope is actually not dead, there are teenagers who emerge to limelight with flying colors. What is the instigation behind their accomplishments? A mere hard work, sincere effort, and strong determination are just add ups. But what actually cooks behind their brains to reach their goal.

The secret behind achievers from times unknown is categorized in the following formula, they have signed these PACTS for themselves.
P -- Preferences and Priorities
A -- Attitude
C -- Constant Inspiration
T -- Time Management
S -- Self Motivation

P -- Preferences and Priorities: You should be wise enough to consider what at which time, how and when.
Success is only another form of failure if we forget what our priorities should be. The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first. Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.

A -- Attitude: Remember mind is just like a parachute, it works at its best only when opened. So carry an open mind set to accept constructive objectives.
An attitude to be enthusiastic, optimistic, assertive is not an easy job, but when you put into action and life, the returns are infinite. It releases your heavy load & drives to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do. These traits reflect in your personality and in turn would create a responsive environment around you which turns life to be a great triumph all over.

C -- Constant Inspiration: However you perspire, you need to have at least a percent of inspiration to get going. Your method or technique would not work without your inspiration. You need to surround yourself with positive people around to get inspiration to live and lead the show. Read biographies of scientists, inventors & discoverers, great achievers in so many walks of life. You get inspired by their way of life, their attitude and intelligence. The ideas that actually clicked in their mind and the way they worked it out and struggled to bring it to reality inspires us at a very high rate.

T -- Time Management: One cannot buy, rent or hire more time. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it. Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource. Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you and vice versa. Always remember, "MIND and TIME are the only two weapons against in the life's struggles; if you let it go you loose the battle"

S -- Self Motivation: Wanting something is not enough. You must be hungry for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way. The burning desire to achieve more should glow and reflect back. The thirst for knowledge should never satisfy you. Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly. The one who is sure about their motives is also confident to catch right path. Desire is the key for motivation. Get interested and curious about the life, people, situations, and happenings around you and easily you get motivated to know more. Self motivation echoes your confidence, conviction and sovereignty. It shows your power and potentiality.

With all the above, cream your effort with hard work and put in your sincere effort to reach your Aspiration.
Ambitions can only be in a dream until you wake up and work towards it.
Remember! You cannot expect beautiful garden to grow overnight, you sitting under a shade.
