Must read!!
It feels great wen ppl around me call & tell me dat they cleared..!!!!
But 4 every person passing, there seems to b 3 ppl who ve not cracked it dis time…..
This is something I always believe in. The exam results whether it is of CA /CS/ CMA or any othr exam it is not purely a yardstick or benchmark of capabilities of an individual. Its not about any intelligence or talent alone. Nothing 2 takes away from people who have cracked it, but yes u need dat stroke of fortune also. I am sure ppl who ve cleared will definitely agree wid me.
The 1st attempt, 2nd attempt etc matters in so far as to land us our 1st job only. Thereafter it is our individual capabilities dat can take us forward. After some years nobody will ask u whether u ve cleared in 1st attempt or 2nd attempt etc. You ve become professional. And dats about it.!
We have a professional career of over 40 years before us now. It really doesn’t matter after 12 years, if ur post qualification experience is 10 years or 12 years. It pales further wen u hit 20 years and so on. Time is a great leveler. Just dat it is delayed a bit. But never denied.
After all an exams!! After all a result!! And how we can let it break us? Believe me, there r bigger things to worry about in life as we progress. Cracking the CA/CS/CMA exam is not a stellar achievement in itself. It is 1 of d steps to achieve greater thing. It is only now dat d race begins. Honestly, ppl who take more dan 2 attempts 2 crack d exam r ppl who have displayed immense emotional maturity and fantastic resilience.( M not telling dis bcos I ve taken more dan 2 attempts It’s a fact) . Count urself some1 who has not had d full stroke of luck this time around (Though I myself don’t believe in luck bcos my luck never favors me:-p).
Don’t get bogged down by peer pressure dat ur friends have cracked but u ve not. At d end of day only, YOU r answerable to urself…. And to nobody else. In times of need, it is wat u r dat will sail u, not who u ve wid u. Treat it as just another exam (it is just another exam right?). Please don’t give it the hype and brood over d results and mess up ur next attempt. You r in d ultimate lap. Doesn’t help if u faint and fall widout completing d race…. All the workdone in many laps prior to dis will b wasted.
Take a break. Relax urself. Go for a movie. Spend time wid ur REAL friends and family. Go out 4 a short vacation. You deserve dis for d efforts u put into d last attempt. Unwind urself for a weekand start from where u left wid d preparations. For quitting is a v easy option, but 2 become a true professional, u need to WIN. And winning in dis case, is not judged by ur result, but by ur ability to work towards d result. Result is never in ur hands. Show urself dat u r a winner by earnestly working towards it.
If an average person like me who has never scored 80% in his life can clear dis dan u all can definitely clear dis.
"उड़ान वालों उड़ानों पे वक़्त भारी हैं,
अब परो की नहीं होसलों की बारी हैं,
मैं कतरा होके भी तूफा से जंग लेता हूँ,
मुजे बचाना समुंदर की जिम्मेदारी हैं...!!!!
All d best...!!!!
