This article is written for students
preparing for NDA at Warrior Defence Academy, Lucknow but it certainly applies
to students preparing for NDA and SSB all over India in coaching institutes or
preparing by themselves.
Hello students. You all must be
preparing for NDA exams at top defence institute in Lucknow and have different
habits which either help you or mar your chances of getting selected in the NDA
exam and SSB. The bad habits though not a good thing, could be tolerated
earlier but they certainly cannot be now when you are studying in no.1 NDA
academy in Lucknow and you are in the fray to beat the best students in India
to get a seat for SSB.
I have outlined here five simple
habits which are easy to cultivate and can make life changing impact while you
prepare NDA and SSB at best
SSB coaching in Lucknow.
Sit on chair and use table to study. Often, I have seen students
assume different postures while immersed in a deep study. Some of them lie on
bed and study, some of walk with book in their hands, and etc. I am not against
them but the best way to study is to sit on the chair and use table. For the
students who are lazy this will be a bitter pill. But laziness has to be
dropped if you are serious to become an officer. It is also the most productive
and stable way.
My brother, an alumnus of
Allahabad University, once told me that I should learn first to sit for hours
on a chair facing a table. It lets you test how steady your mind is and your
ability to concentrate your mind on a particular subject. This will help you in
your SSB interview as well.
Read a newspaper and improve vocabulary daily. There are many
things that are accumulative (Find the meaning of this word in the dictionary)
in nature and need time to be assimilated in our memory. Facts and meanings are
one of them. They cannot be completed overnight and need several months of practice.
Newspaper is a source of great wealth of information. Learn to extract
important facts and make a note of them in your notebook. Also, add daily some
word to your vocabulary and try using it. Same goes to antonyms and synonyms.
These will help you to tick your
answer easily hence providing you marks and saving your time for the rest of
the questions. You will find the different newspapers in the library of your
academy which is also no. 1 NDA academy in Lucknow.
I cannot leave my smartphone and keep using internet. If you have a
habit of sticking too much on your smartphones doing unnecessary things, go
home ask you father to replace it with a basic phone. Yes, there will be no
Whatsapp, no Facebook, no Youtube, and etc. Your mind will try tricking you not
to part with your phone by reminding you trivial things and try to make them
look very important and hence request you not to leave your smartphone. Don`t
get in the trap. You know you have weakness with smartphone and it must be
ended immediately.
In the your institute, top
defence institute in Lucknow, there is already very strict restriction on using
mobile phones in the campus and you have to submit it to the institute when you
enter the premises but at the hostel / home it is you who have to take care of
your habit.
Analyse your daily preparation. You must devote sometime to think
about your daily activities studying at best SSB coaching in Lucknow. You can
do it probably before you just go to sleep. You must find what you did, ways in
which it could have been done better, time wasted, and etc. A simple analysis
of daily activities helps you keep your preparation on track and gives you a
bird`s eye view of the situation and often helps you in improving your
preparation.
It is something similar to a woodcutter
who had the record of chopping down largest number of trees. Other woodcutters
wondered how can his performance be superb. They asked him the reason behind
his performance. He said he sharpens his axe daily after the lunch when others
rest.
Strength of character. We live in an age where no more emphasis is
laid on building human moral character. People want good facilities, good pay,
and etc. But you must not be like them. A career in the defence means a great
responsibility. You must daily try to add something in the list of your
activities which helps you feel morally superior and utterly confident. It is
the strength of character which makes great personalities. Be honest, lead a
simple life, and be helpful. Speak politely to others. Respect every one. Bring a sense of
responsibility and uprightness.
