How do I study for 14 hours a day?





You are getting it wrong at first place. You don’t need to study for 14 hours a day to get your things straightened up. Its not about how hard you hit. It’s about how consistent you can hit. As Denzel Washington[1] has said and I quote, “Without commitment, you’ll never start, but more importantly, without consistency, you’ll never finish.” Study for just 6 hrs a day but make it throughout the week and month. Be it rain or storm; be it fog or clear sky; be it festival or any heart rending day; be you active or bed ridden with limbs broken; you must complete your basic quota of studying and then only you may take the day off.
On the other hand, when you accept the fact that you are not able to make it even 20 minutes a day then how can you aim for the tip of the iceberg. You are just at the foot of the mountain and you are aiming at the summit in a one damn shot. Aim small and have small targets. Have a 2 hr target with interval of 15- 20 minutes in between every hour or as you find it suitable. And then repeat the process. Get started with topics and subjects that you like and enjoy. Then gradually shift for the boring and tough ones. Once you feel like giving up, again switch the topics and get your mood refreshed. Let your mind learn to focus and concentrate slowly. Don’t push or try too hard.
Note the things that consumes most of your time. Is it YouTube or is it Quora or is it your other social media messages or it your girlfriend or is it your friends. List down the thing on a paper and then contemplate whether those activities are worth of it or not? Switch off all the notifications of your smartphone. Be it Whatsapp, Quora, Inshorts or anything else. Switch off all the notifications. You don’t want those electronic sounds to distract you in the middle of your work or study. Complete the basic quota, take a interval, check your phone and then again get back to work.
Lastly get it slow but get it going !!!!
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

I gave some bad tests, now I don't feel like studying. How do I make myself study again?




Waste your following day. Don’t touch your books. Don’t touch any notepad. Just stick to your bed and don’t let your ass leave it. Order your most favorite and delicious breakfast or lunch. Eat to the brim and then use your smartphone as if you have never used before. Check whatsapp and then close it. Open Whatsapp again and then check the status. Check Facebook and scroll without any purpose. Like your friend’s activity, Tweet your fake morning motivation, re tweet your favorite celebrity pics. Time will pass as it passes. As the day comes to an end, contemplate a bit.
While you were sleeping, someone was grinding like hell in somepart of this world.
While you were stuffing your mouth with hundreds of calories, someone was skipping his breakfast or lunch just to meet his/her deadlines.
While you were scrolling your social media, someone was working his butt off in the back end to make the page as addictive as possible, as attractive as possible.
While you wasted your day, someone made millions.
While you wasted your day, someone gave in millions.
While you wasted your day, someone inched closer towards his goal
While you wasted your day, someone failed miserable.
But you know what….atleast they had a chance. They gave it a try. They believed in something but they failed. But they will come back. They will come back prepared. They will comeback and will don’t do the previous mistakes again. They will comeback because they know this world ain’t sunshine and rainbows. Its a very mean and nasty place and the world don’t care how tough they are. It will beat them to their knees and will keep them there permanently if they let it. No one is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard they get hit. It’s about how hard they can get hit and keep moving forward. How much they can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Someone is pushing the boundaries and taking their chances.
Now it’s up to you. What you are going to do about it? Don’t you want to take a chance?

Is the youth of India confident or confused? Why?



They are more confused than ever.
It starts with their basic education system. They take science as their major in their HSE and then they opt for engineering. They make out those 4 years anyhow by bitching about the courses, teachers and being cynical about their future and placements. They make it to their job and then they leave it in 4 months, 7 months or in 1 year, likewise. They give every possible entrance exams possible in this stage. From SSC to Bank PO. From CAT to RBI Assistant. From GATE to Analytics( if he/she has got a core job placement) Its not that they want to pursue certain job or stream. The major motivation for them is that they just want to leave their company as soon as possible. They make it to any management college and after 2 years, they settle for a job. They again leave their jobs in similar short month fashion and then they want to pursue UPSC. It is not they want to get into civil services or they want to serve the nation. They just want to leave their current job somehow. They feel like they are not making an impact in the organisation. They feel that I was studied so much and I have ended up entering data in Excel Sheets. After that, they even found a startup but shut it down in an year or alike. This cycle continues till one gets married. After marriage, responsibilities and family pressure don’t let you leave your stuffs anytime soon. You somehow get patient and then you dress up daily for the job you hate and meet the persons that you don’t wanna meet. It’s pathetic but true. I can’t tar every wall with the same brush but I just tried to portray a chunk of population. No offence.
Hope it helps. 
Thanks.
