I don't know why people think that its impossible to clear civil services unless you stop doing everything else in your life and only think about civil services day in day out. In my case, I have been told umpteen times that it will be near to impossible for me to succeed without coaching. Its fine if these sort of suggestions come from strangers but when your friends and relatives start saying things like that, its not going to be of any help for me. I expect motivation and support from people whom I think are part of my life one way or other...there are already enough people to question your efforts. I agree that its going to be tough but is there any harm in trying ??...I have got my priorities sorted out and I am not going to compromise on my academics in any way, in fact I think preparing this year I am in better state of mind because there is no pressure that I have to just do it.
There is no denying that its hard work and I have to work a little harder than my other mates but in the end I am doing all this for myself so obviously there is no point in complaining. Its not that civil services is be all and end all for me...far from that. I decided to go for medical only after board results were out before that I had all my options open. similarly now also I have kept my all options open.....I know people say that they always wanted to do this, they always wanted to be a doctor or an IAS, this was their dream, that was their dream and there is nothing wrong in it but somehow I have never felt like that (if i had to say then i would say i always wanted to be a cricketer though highest i have played is for my school :p) ...I wish I did but I know one thing that whatever I will do I would succeed because hard work can make everything possible and I am going to push myself to my limits. Its better to do something and succeed than to dream something and fail.
Theres one quote which goes something like this
I don't believe in taking right decisions, I take decisions and make them right
I am not trying to say that I will do it because I am the best because I am well aware of the toughness of my chosen road . If I am trying to do something and you can't help me than please let me do it my way.
