Many people consider Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” to be a valuable resource for life lessons as well as a “bible” for the battlefield.
Life itself is a perpetual battle to, if not maintain dominance, then at the very least get through each day’s difficulties while making the most of our resources.
The Art of War, subject to individual interpretation, can be a tremendous source of inspiration and direction for the defence aspirants.
Here are some important lessons you may apply to your personal life, career, and search for self-improvement from The Art of War.
It is possible that reading Sun Tzu’s book will have a profound impact on your life if you are able to internalise the wisdom contained within it.
However, before we get into that, If you are a defence aspirant who is still feeling anxious about facing your impending SSB interview, you should sign up for our life-changing SSB Interview Master Class as soon as possible. You will be able to recognise the changes that have taken place in you after completing the course.
After 2,500 years since its initial publication by Sun Tze (also known as Sunzi), a strategist who most likely existed during the Spring and Autumn Period (776-471 BCE), “The Art of War” continues to be one of the most well-known military texts in the world.
1. “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
2. “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
3. “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
4. “Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
5. “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
6. “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
7. “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”
8. “There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.”
9. “Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack.”
Hello, everyone! I am Divya Dhayal and I am here today to share my success story in which I cracked my SSB at the very first attempt.
I am from a defence background as my father is in the Indian Army and he has always encouraged and supported me to make my dream come true. I took CDS OTA 2 2021 exam and appeared for my SSB at SSB Bhopal. I took AFCAT exams as well before but I didn’t appear for my SSB Interview. From my early childhood I have been inspired by my father and the army environment I grew up in, and since then I have always wanted to join the Indian Army.
I am an international athlete and I have won medals in the World Championship, World Cup, Asia Cup, and other international tournaments in the field of Archery. So this sportsmanship and the sheer performance under pressure in Archery have taught me a lot in life and these have come in very handily to me when I appeared for my SSB Interview.
Another important thing that really helped me in SSB was planning and organization skills which not only helped me to complete all of my psychological tests and other tasks in SSB but also helped me in dividing my daily routine among my college studies, sports and preparation for both my written and SSB interview. I did a lot of self-introspection and took help from my father who also had the experience of appearing in SSB interview. I prepared my current affairs knowledge from SSBCrackExams Daily & defence current affairs live classes which take place everyday and most importantly, from Monthly Current & Defence Affairs, s much so that I didn’t even read newspapers.
I performed all my SSB tasks really well and had a good bonding with all my group members. My physical and mental stamina, all thanks to my passion and interest in sports, was up to the mark throughout the SSB interview.
Divya Dhayal CDS 2 2021 written and SSB interview marks
My personal interview questions were all about me, my studies, my hobbies, my family, current affairs, my reasons of choosing defence over professional sports, and quite surprisingly I didn’t get a single question on Archery, which was quite contrary to my expectations.
When I saw my result and my All India Ranking (2nd position) I was shocked, since I didn’t prepare deliberately for the AIR. I just thought that I needed to get in the merit. But when I saw my rank and my success, I was quite very happy. My parents are happier and I want to thank both my parents for supporting and encouraging me, especially my mom, with whom I practised all my GD, lecturette and even mock Personal Interview.
So, I think that it’s not because I have got extraordinary achievements in sports, I have been able to clear my SSB. I think anybody can do it, if you do more smart work than hard work, with proper planning and execution. I think, SSB is not about a preparation for a day or a month or a year, it’s more of a preparation for and through a lifetime, SSB is you!
To crack the SSB Interview, You can join our SSB interview live classes batch and we recommend you to Enroll SSB INTERVIEW ONLINE COURSE. Trusted by thousands of defence aspirants.
Being confident as a defence aspirant can be challenging given the myriad factors that influence the success in SSB Interview. If your written exam and SSB interview preparation are good, you might believe that this will enhance your confidence. In actuality, though, what will actually help you succeed in the first place is confidence in who you are and what you are capable of.
Becoming confident is easier said than done, especially when you consider that being a defence aspirant involves continually pushing boundaries and going beyond your comfort zone. When things don’t go as planned or when people tell you “no” or “it can’t be done,” it’s easy to start doubting yourself. Your belief in yourself is what will propel you forward, allow you to accept the opportunity, and demonstrate that everything is possible.
Having difficulty being alone yourself is a sign of insecurity.
Spend some time by yourself by going for walks.
Dine out by yourself.
Visit a movie theatre by yourself.
You won’t feel the need to impress other people once you’ve reached the point where you’re content with yourself on your own. This is an example of confidence.
2. Display confident body language.
Between seventy and ninety three percent of all communication is nonverbal. It is pointless to talk confidently if your body language does not reflect that confidence.
Give a Firm Handshake
Speak Slowly and Clearly
Make Eye Contact
Stand Up Straight
Keep Your Chin Up
Don’t Fidget
Avoid Your Pockets
Slow Your Movements
Watch Your Hands
Putting forth the effort to perfect these gestures and movements can help you exude an appearance of confidence. There are times when using the advice to “fake it until you make it” can be beneficial.
3. Be non-reactive.
People who are confident are able to maintain their composure and reason when things don’t go their way. In order to stop becoming reactive.
Practice Mindfulness
Think And Edit, Then Speak
Ask More Questions
Learn How To Pause And Seek Clarity
Make The Other Person Right
Don’t Take Things So Personally
4. Quit attempting to impress
The person who puts the least amount of effort into selling makes the greatest sales. The man who is least interested in women is the one who has the most success in dating them. People are drawn to you more for who you are as a person than for what you have to say. Put an end to trying to persuade other people that you belong among them.
5. Get Your Ass to the Gym
Endorphins and testosterone are both released when weight lifting is performed. These hormones contribute to a sense of relief.
Reduce stress
Reduce anxiety
Reduce depression
Do enroll in our life-changing SSB Interview Master Class if you are a defence aspirant who is still feeling nervous about facing your upcoming SSB interview. After taking the class, you will be able to see a difference in yourself.

According to media reports, Nepal has urged India to halt the recruitment of Gorkhas into the Indian Army under the recently implemented Agnipath scheme.
According to a report in the My Republica daily, Foreign Minister Narayan Khadke met with India’s ambassador to Nepal, Naveen Srivastava, on Wednesday and asked him to put off the intention to recruit Nepali youths under the new scheme.
The development occurs before Indian Army Chief General Manoj Pande’s anticipated five-day official visit to Nepal, which is scheduled to begin on September 4. During that time, he will have in-depth discussions with the senior civil and military authorities in Nepal.
General Pande is in Nepal primarily to accept President Bidya Devi Bhandari’s honorific title of Honorary General of the Nepal Army. It has long been customary for the army leaders of India and Nepal to visit each other and be given the honorary rank of general.
In the discussion, Minister Khadka stated that it is important to get the views of all parties, including the major political parties and stakeholders. “The government has not made a final decision on this. After a more thorough knowledge has been developed, we will return to India, a ministry source told Indian Express.
Since the 1947 Tripartite Agreement between Nepal, India, and the UK included a clause allowing for the recruitment of Nepalese youths into the British and Indian Armies, Nepalese youths have long been recruited into the Indian Army.
