Don'ts of UPSC aspirants

1. Never self-pity
2. Never consider yourself as know-it-all person. Stay humble.
3. Don't try to become scholar in your optional. You just need to get good marks in that. I hope you understand the gravity of this point.
4. Never hesitate to write answers or ask good questions.
5. Never consider yourself as lonely....you're just alone in this journey. Understand the difference. It's a huge mindset game..
6. Never compare with other aspirants or toppers. We all have our own respective journeys.
7. Never lie to yourself .... To others you can. Be extremely harsh on your own self-evaluation.
8. Never entertain the nay-sayers or negative people ...even if they are your relatives. Kripya uchit doorie banaye rakhe.

And yes...you CAN cry in this journey....it gives ample amount of "opportunities" to cry. It's normal. It's human.

Stay hungry (for knowledge)
Stay foolish (to remain humble)
Stay disciplined (for life)
