“I am not good in communication!” “I am very bad in public speaking and I cannot express myself!” “Because of bad communication skills I feel low in confidence at SSB!” You might have heard such types of sentences from the aspirants who are otherwise very determined to join the forces. I have been receiving many queries now a day on the same and I thought it’s better to communicate on the common channel. Please understand that SSB is not a place where your flashy usage of big words is checked or how you produce your thoughts. It’s a place where things are psychologically judged and if that can be conveyed in simple language then no one can stop you from getting selected. Preference should be given only to personality development and improvement and not communication.
Now this does not mean that I should be bad at it and should not try to improve if I have claimed this point. Try to understand the dynamics that plays at SSB and what are the expectations of the forces. If you prioritise your work area and work accordingly, everyone has the potential to clear it. That’s not really an exam that needs preparation from books. I have seen people using books that actually don’t help in any sense and help them in adopting different personality which is not theirs actually. Books might guide you in a general sense of how things appear there and what all could be done, but never try to adapt the same methodology as it might reflect a confused personality there. Now let’s come to the English speaking part. See, English is used at SSB just to provide a platform for common understanding to all the aspirants there as they are from different parts of the country and this is the only language that’s common to all of us. That’s it. This is the simple reason of using this language, nothing else.
“Working hard for something we don’t know is called stress, while working hard for something known is passion” So knowing why this language is being used give it only that much advantage. Pursue your passion for defence and never lose confidence because you are weak in English. Yes it can be improved with practice, so do it but never feel defeated. Language is just a tool of communication and nothing else. Don’t give it more advantage and work thoroughly on your personality. If you are weak in that , no one will accept you there. So start in right direction.
