What motivated you to prepare for IIT-JEE?

When I was preparing for my JEE, back in 2016. I always struggle to stay motivated.

I was in Kota for my preparation, and in Kota, you can’t even spend a day without studying and if you do so, then be ready to take your bag and move to a lower batch.

And to keep you motivated, Allen (my coaching institute) used to keep “Fun Day” and sometimes motivational talk is also held and some very famous personality used to come like…

The Blade Runner Major D.P Singh

He was declared dead in an army hospital in 1999 during Kargil war, today he is the proud Limca record holder.

After meeting him we (the students) were literally motivated very high but after a few days, the same motivation disappears.

To keep me motivated I used to watch Motivation Videos of Sandeep Maheshwari, in 2016 the Internet Speed was not that good so no youtube, I used to buy those videos from the nearby cafe for Rs 10/- per 5 videos.

They really keep me motivated for a few hours, and when my exams were very near these motivational videos kept me in the race.

But Motivation is an emotion, it can provide you the start which you are waiting for but can’t be with you for your whole race.

You need to understand the above line.

When you have the start for which you were waiting for then you need to take the help of discipline to keep going in the race.

Discipline is what you need to win the race, Motivation is what you need to join the race.
