**Why you must practice gratitude for a quality life**
Seneca said, “We suffer more in imagination than in reality”🧠
I know quite a lot of people who have mastered the art of complaining. I’m sure you know them too, or maybe you have this seemingly innocuous habit. After all, what can be the harm done in a vent out session🗣️ with your friend?
A session where you share *complain* about all the things that are wrong in your life and the world. From work, relationships, daily inconveniences to taxes, economy and wars. 🌍
True, we all have problems in life, without them there’s no rejoicing in the good times after all. 🎉
But complaining and whining about these problems not only creates a toxic atmosphere, but also impact our mental health.😞 The downsides of a complaining and negative attitude towards life are expansive like increased stress levels, decreased resilience, and impaired problem-solving abilities.
And what if I say that it is damaging your brain, figuratively AND literally?
Here’s the scientific proof 📊
1. Complaining reduces the size of hippocampus of your brain 🧠 which plays a major role in learning and memories.
2. It also triggers your body to release excess cortisol, a stress hormone. Elevated cortisol levels lead to litany of issues like anxiety, depression, and ailments like digestive problems and headaches. 😣
So, what’s the solution?
Shift towards gratitude 🌻
In various studies, practicing gratitude has been linked to improved mental health, increased resilience, and enhanced overall life satisfaction.🌟
How to practice gratitude?
Mental Subtraction is the answer. 💭
Whatever be your position, things could have been worse. 😌
Mental subtraction means imagining what life would be like without the good things we have. 🤔
Let’s take an example. 📖
You are currently reading this article, it means you are educated, afford to have a phone📱 and an Internet subscription, a place to live, and some privilege.
Now, imagine if you were born in a situation where you didn’t have these things. 🤔
This practice makes us realise how much we have to be thankful for. 🌟
So, next time you have the urge to complain about life take a moment to practice mental subtraction and you realise that despite all the ups and downs, life is beautiful. ✨

Segal’s Law:
“A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.”
Ironic, isn’t it?
Recently, I observed a perfect example of this law in action.
At the start of the new year, a lot of students joined my Live classes. However, as days passed, the attendance dwindled due to students getting overwhelmed by an abundance of resources. They initially tried sticking to one resource but ended up juggling multiple, causing confusion and leading to a cycle of procrastination, eventually halting their preparation altogether.
I bet it wasn’t the result they wanted or expected.
Conclusion?
Without trust, more data doesn’t make us more informed but more confused.
And that is why I always say, follow one source. Don’t get lost in the cacophony that comes with following multitude of resources.

Our Toxic Relationship with New Year Resolutions
How many times have you made New Year resolutions, stuck to them for a week, a month, a couple of months but then dropped it? Losing new year motivation as the new year gets old!
Too many to count, isn’t it?
But have you ever wondered why it happens to the best of us? And more importantly, how do we stop it from happening?
Well, this idea has been going around in the back of my mind and I finally decided to pick up the pen, or rather, my laptop, and put it into words…
Since December started, all we could see anywhere is talk of making new year resolutions and starting new things.
But why is nobody talking about ending the old things, and ending it strong?
We can’t stand by our New Year resolutions, because we take it the wrong way. I mean I know that the year is new but not everything has to be completely new, right?
What I mean by that is,
We can decide to take a fresh perspective on the old goals too, right?
You don’t have to make a New Year resolution about starting a new hobby or achieving a new goal. It can also be about pursuing old goals and improving on an old hobby.
See, we are all humans, and we make mistakes, big ones and small ones. But what if you decide to not make those mistakes again when we start fresh.
New Year can be your Reboot button for a clean slate.
So, if you are a student preparing for an exam or thinking of starting an exam preparation, the new year is like a golden ticket you get annually, to start anew. You had a shot last New Year, and guess what? You've got another chance this year. If you failed an attempt in any exam and couldn’t clear it, the new year is your chance to learn from your previous slip-ups which will improve your chances of success.
Rather than diving into something entirely new each year, let's take a more pragmatic approach toward your old goals.
Think about it—correcting our mistakes doesn't mean starting from scratch. It's about going through the same journey but excluding those blunders.
So, pick up something that you couldn’t achieve last year.
Refresh, make a new plan, and start again.
Restart! Restart! Restart!!!

Why are Past Year Papers the Bible of exam preparation?
Students often ask me about the best ways to prepare for exams, be it RBI, SEBI, NABARD, or UPSC. Different exams have different demands from students, but the basic elements for the preparation of all exams are the same. All of them are important, more or less.
Today, I want to deep dive into the importance of one such element without which your exam preparation is always incomplete.
Yes, I’m talking about Past Year Papers
As I always say, “Past Year Papers are the Bible to any exam.”
But, why do I say this? Why is it so imperative for us to analyse and solve PYPs repeatedly?
Here are some reasons to convince you to not be lazy and solve past year papers in case you were thinking of skipping on this one.
1. Trend- where is the exam headed
By analysing the questions in each topic of Previous Years' Papers, you can easily know the trend of the questions throughout the years. They help you become familiar with the exam pattern and marking scheme.
Familiarity equals to excellence.
1. Topics- important ones to cover
When you know the important topics, you know what NOT TO skip. It gives you an edge in the preparation. This way you won’t miss any important topics, which pays off in the form of better results with less effort.
1. Mind of examiner- expectations from aspirants
As you solve more and more PYPs, you get an idea of what the examiner and examination expect from you. In simple terms, you get insights into the demand and orientation of the examination from the examiner.
1. Direction for you-
PYPs directs you while you read any topic. For example, if I'm about to read on Inflation and I know that questions from Inflation have come from current scenario of Inflation around the world, I wouldn’t miss current affairs related to Inflation while I'm at it. PYPs provide the right direction to the student and enables more outcome with less efforts.
How to cover PYPs?
As soon as you wake up in the morning, pick up the Past Years' Paper book and go through it for 15 minutes. If you mug up the questions, don’t worry about it.
Instead, focus on 4 aspects:
1. Your knowledge of the topic asked in the question,
2. Using common sense,
3. What elimination technique could you follow
4. What do you learn from the question about the examiner and the examination?
How often to solve PYPs?
Solve the PYPs like the given above, every day.
And when you’re wrapped up with all the Previous Year Papers, start again and repeat the cycle. Solve the Past Year Paper book thoroughly 2-3 times. This will ensure your success in the upcoming exams
So, now I hope that you know how crucial it is to solve PYPs.
They make your exam preparation more refined, fill the gaps, help you find the right direction, and provide feedback, motivation, and reality check. All of these come together neatly and increase your probability of succeeding in the examination
So basically, PYPs are to aspirants, what a lighthouse is to a sailor.

COP28 and our talent to make light of grave situations.
There have been certain defining moments in the history of human civilisation, that have changed our ways for the better.
Invention of Gutenberg’s Printing Press, Industrial Revolution, and now, the Information Revolution (aka the age of Internet).
But as we all know, every coin has two sides. Good and not-so-good. The industrial revolution is no different.
It led to an increase in burning fossil fuels resulting in more emission of greenhouse gases and change in Earth’s climate.
So, today
A major threat looms...
Climate change. The reason behind the dramatic increase in climactic disasters like
hotter temperatures, rising ocean levels, storms, tsunamis, landslides, droughts, you name it.
I’m sure whenever you open your newspapers in the morning, you come across another accident caused directly or indirectly by climate change, resulting in the loss of lives and resources.
And yet we act like it’s no big deal. As if the disasters will never come to us. As if we are somehow safe, as if our lives and hard-earned money are not in danger.
I live in Delhi, one of the densest cities in the world. What will happen if a disaster strikes the city? I’m sure you can guess. Total destruction. Of lives and of infrastructures, of office buildings, of hospitals, of homes that people spent their entire lives building.
COP28 was in session to deal with such issues and come to some solutions.
The session was concluded and hopefully, the agreement will prove fruitful in reducing green house gases emission.
Here’s the thing though, I noticed a pattern in its coverage by the media.
A 12-year-old Indian activist disrupting the conference garners more attention than the crucial issues at hand.
It pretty much sums up what happened in the coverage of COP28 by the mainstream media.
The location of Dubai and the people participating in the conference made headlines more than the issues that should be the focal point.
There’s nothing wrong with giving the credit where it’s due but at the cost of neglecting the main concern itself?
What do you think?
Do you think that we are deviating from the real issue and instead glorifying the event and the people associated with it?
Do you think the mainstream media’s attention is more on the sensationalism of the conference?
Do you think that maybe we can try a little harder?

Defy the fear of failure and step into the unknown
I came across this intriguing little poem in a book I was reading recently. So, what does these lines actually mean?
When was the last time you were faced with the challenge of stepping into the unknown. In simple words, when you got an opportunity that was intimidating.
Maybe when you decided to prepare for the examination of your dream government job or when you decided to apply for that job that will be the stepping stone to your dream career.
Or smaller instances, like starting to study that intimidating syllabus book, start revision sessions, or even giving Mock Tests.
And how many of those times, your natural response was to keep deliberating, procrastinating or giving up before starting altogether?
I bet you can recall more than a few instances like those. The common emotions you experienced were probably, Intimidation, hesitation, self-doubt and most of all fear of failure. Weren’t they?
So, what’s the takeaway?
Real growth comes when we face fears, deal with challenges, and explore new parts of what we can do. It's like a call to be brave despite being afraid, and knowing that the best parts of discovering and achieving things happen when we're willing to try new and unknown things.
Carpe Diem
Anuj Jindal
P.S- Tell me one instance when you decided to take the leap despite being afraid. Big or small.
