SSB: Think Positive To Live Your Dream Of Defence

Already thought of joining Indian defence services? Alas… You are on the right path. Indian defence is one of the best services one could opt for being in India. It is a place where you could live for your country and think of serving and protecting its rights. Being surrounded by neighbours who do not tend to have good relations with our country it’s the need of time. Every youth want to contribute to its motherland but the real right is bestowed to the defence personnel’s only.

They are the real heroes and have the power to do so. If you want to be one, identify the need of service for motherland in your heart and brain and then move ahead. SSB a wonderful 5 day stint and the gateway to be an officer with Indian defence requires a synchronisation between your body, heart and mind. You should have the following:

Always think positive and even develop the competency of looking the positives or at least appreciating the positives for even the negative things.
The protection of motherland never gives another chance to think what’s next? Think coordinated with your mind, body and soul working together and you should not be a confused personality and should be ready to take decisions instantaneously.
No duality of thought should exist. You should be very clear for the path you have to traverse and act like a leader because many lives will depend on you.
The parameters are stringent and are not changed for anyone. So don’t feel that any random noise will work for you there. Luck does not play its role at SSB. Only proper preparation can save your day.

Don’t be afraid of working hard. Smart ways usually does not work in SSB as its a competency based psychological assessment which is a very developed technique to test the real of you.

The mantra for success is the positivity one carries in life. You are tested to look how positive one can be in adverse situations. Positivity changes way of thinking and can convert an adverse situation into a good one. This is a tested formula and yes it has worked for years for the defence personnel’s in acquiring the right talent. The officers that get recommended not only have a different approach to look at situations but are daring enough to think differently than the so called “civilians”. You should have a positive thought process and it should be developed since the inception. Be happy in every situation you face. The thought process of positivity is something that takes time to build in and it cannot be developed immediately when you get a SSB call. Start preparing and changing the mindset now as time is flying off. If you need help in knowing the ways or in preparation through mentorship do send your queries to me at [email protected] . You can also add me on facebook and drop queries through message. It would be a pleasure to help budding future officers.
