“Ability is what you are capable of doing, motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” ~~ Lou Holtz. Joining Indian defence force is a dream which is lived by most but fulfilled by very few. Not because people applying are not capable, but they lack motivation to achieve. Some of them are dedicated, but lost and don’t know where to go to achieve their goals. Some of them are there just for the sake of seeing the reality and check the myths that prevail while others reach SSB centre just because their friends might have filled the form and they are going. Do you think such attitude works for life? A big no from my side. When a person is thriving for success and knows where he needs to reach and how to reach then only can he achieve it.
So before you make a decision of any consequence, make sure you are in your right and strongest mind, feeling positive rather than sad, healthy not ill, full rather than empty, active rather than tired. Motivation is highly needed as it’s rightly said that even if you have the ability but no motivation you will feel the lack of internal energy that pushes you to achieve. Failures might be part of your life, but they are necessary to keep life moving ahead else life would be monotonous with no fear. People would stop working hard if failure were not there. It’s the fear of failure only that keeps you motivated to achieve some stand in life.
Attitude of looking at situations and reacting to them also determines how well you do and achieve things. People look dreams and do not work accordingly. They think everything is easy to achieve, but they are far from reality. In course of time when they lose then only they realise how much work was needed and how much they did. If they might have filled this gap success would always be theirs. So I believe every individual who dreams to clear SSB has the capability, but what misses is the motivation to work and the attitude to perform. The panelist at SSB is a group of experts who has the capability to judge with the blink of an eye. They are trained professionally and that’s why who are selected is different from the world.
Please remember :
“My life is a constant battle of wanting to be alone and not wanting to be lonely”
Life is a battle and you should fight it bravely. Once you inculcate these qualities, I think no one can stop you clearing the SSB as it is the only exam which judges you on various parameters for five days and then selects you. It’s the beauty of this exam that wrong is caught and punished. The exam is so pure that only the deserving candidates cross it. You are also the one, but believe in your efforts and keep trying… Rest for any help related to the matter feel free to ping me.
