12 Simple Tricks To Keep Yourself Motivated MUST READ 1. Start now. Tell yourself to start this moment. Not in the evening and not tomorrow, right NOW. . 2. Set a performance goal. Setting a goal helps you find your way forward. This comes in handy for various things, such as, if you have a bunch of emails to reply to, or laundry to do, or bills to pay. Setting a goal will help you tackle all of this. . 3. Make an if-then rule. The if-then rule is very simple. Suppose you finish a task that had been pending a while, treat yourself. For minor tasks, you can get yourself chocolates or a nice meal. For bigger tasks, you can treat yourself with a vacation. . 4. Don’t think about survival. Everyone learns to survive sooner or later. Sadly, we are so worried about making enough money, or doing things the right away, that we forget to look at the more important things. Instead of survival, we should motivate ourselves to become the best version of ourselves, the best of everything. We should aim at setting an example and nothing less than that. . 5. Rise above your insecurities. Instead of feeling jealous about other people’s successes, try and figure out the reason behind it. There must be a story. They would have developed great habits, worked hard and made certain compromises to get where they have. . 6. Get a routine. Believe it or not, this habit makes a huge difference. A routine can help you get your life on track. It will keep you going. When you finally have a routine to follow, focus on it and try to get better at it every day. . 7. Embrace discipline. There are times when you’ll realise that motivation isn’t the problem. Instead, being non-disciplined is. Has it ever happened with you that you are constantly inspired to work towards your goal, but you can’t make time for it? This is where discipline comes in the picture. . 8. Keep realistic expectations from yourself. Don’t add too many things on your to-do list. DON’T give yourself improbable deadlines. . 9. Stay away from toxic people. Stay away from people who make you feel terrible about yourself. Keep miles away from that girl who cribs all the time. And stop talking to that fellow who can never utter a nice word about you. . 10. Understand the value of that ‘extra’ bit. It is possible that you have both talent and resources. You are working hard, but you’re falling short because you are failing to take that extra step. Think about it. Maybe you are just that tiny step away. . 11. Ask yourself - ‘ Do I want it bad enough?’ The answer to this question will tell you how far you are willing to go to fulfil your dreams. . 12. Stick notes. You need to be constantly inspired. So stick inspiring notes on your office table, or put motivational wallpapers on your laptop. Every time you feel bored, just look at it. It sounds silly but these things actually help.

Some Random Tips for your Quant Section 1...To find greater between fractions without calculating their decimal values. Here is a short example: Consider 4/5 and 6/7 Cross multiply the numerator and denominator of both the fractions. 4 × 7 = 28 6 × 5 = 30 30 > 28 so the fraction carrying 6 as numerator is greater, i.e. 6/7 > 4/5 * You can use this method when you are asked to find out the greatest or smallest among given fractions. 2..Method to solve mixed fractions. Here is an example: Consider finding the value for 2(1/3) + 4(2/7) + 5(1/6). This can be calculated as: (2 + 4 + 5) + [(1/3) + (2/7) + (1/6)] = 11 + (14 + 12 + 7)/42 = 11 + 33/42 = 495/42 Now similarly 2(1/3) + 4(2/7) – 5(1/6) = (2 + 4 – 5) + [(1/3) + (2/7) – (1/6)] = 1 + (14 + 12 – 7)/42 = 1 + 19/42 = 61/42 3...Radical Symbol (√) When x^2 = 25, then x = 5 and -5 because 5 × 5 = 25 and also (-5) × (-5) = 25 But when x = √25 or 25^1/2, then x = 5 only because when radical symbol is used, we can take only positive (or zero) values. 4...Squares of numbers ending with 5. Consider examples: (25)^2 = 2 × 3 | 5 × 5 = 625 (85)^2 = 8 × 9 | 5 × 5 = 7225 (105)^2 = 10 × 11 | 5 × 5 = 11025 5..Multiplication with number 15. 120 × 15 = 120 + (120/2) = 120 + 60 = 1800 162 × 15 = 162 + (162/2) = 162 + 81 = 2430 185 × 15 = 185 + (185/2) = 185 + 92.5 = 2775

This is worth reading..motivational as well as good for English comprehension..:) ....... .... Two targets with a bow........ Dailogue Between Ego and Spirit - Ignited Minds I recently re-read Dr. Kalam's "Ignited Minds" - every page is so full of inspiration, experience...must read for every Indian especially youth. Dr. Kalam ends the book with an excellent story summarizing his thoughts. The story is titled "Dailogue between Ego and Spirit" and here it goes: EPILOGUE “I was thinking what can summarize the book aptly…I recall reading a story on internet about a conversation between two babies…Ego and Spirit…while in womb. Spirit says to Ego, ‘I know you are going to find this hard to accept, but I believe there is life after birth.’ Ego responds, ‘Don’t be foolish. Look around you. This is all there is. Why must you always be thinking about something beyond this reality? Accept your lot in life.’ Spirit quietens down for a while, but not for long. ‘Ego, now don’t get angry, but I also believe that there is a Mother. A Mother! Ego laughs. How can you say that? You’ve never seen a Mother, you don’t know what Mother is.Why can’t you accept that this is all there is? You are here alone with me. This is your reality. ‘Ego’, Spirit begs, please listen.What about those constant pressures we both feel, those movements that make us so uncomfortable sometimes, the feeling that we are being squeezed in as we grow? I think we shall soon have a new life, that we shall see light.’ Spirit tries not to bother Ego again but cannot resist one last try. ‘Ego,’ she says, ‘I will not bother you again. But I do believe that after all this discomfort not only shall we see light but also experience the bliss of meeting Mother. Ego’s reply is ofcourse, that Spirit is truly mad. What I want to tell the people of my country through this book is that they must never be content with that which has been presented to them……" - Dr. Kalam.

1. ABJURE V/S ADJURE
ADJURE – means to request earnestly.
ABJURE – means to renounce,to disown.
Memory tip: I ADJURE you to ABJURE your bad habits
Examples:-
a.) Beautiful song from Euphoria: Duniya parayi ABJURE karke aaja…sau rab di tujhe ek vaari aaja….(I ADJURE {request} you to come once).
b.) Remember those Old BOLLYWOOD movies :-
Actress (To Villain):- Main tumse vinti karti hoon (ADJURE) usse chor do..tum jo bologe main karne karne ko tayaar hoon.
2. ACCEPT VS EXCEPT
ACCEPT– to receive something

EXCEPT– to take or leave out

Examples:
Mr Axar Patel ACCEPTED the award for being the best motivational speaker in India.

Memory key:
ACCEPT has an ‘A’ which means something is being added.
EXCEPT has an ‘E’ which means something is being ejected (left out)
More examples: An ideal Indian wife- can ACCEPT everything in her life EXCEPT her husband having an extra marital.
3. AMBIGUOUS VS AMBIVALENT
AMBIGUOUS – having more than one meaning, open to different interpretations.
AMBIVALENT – having mixed feelings.
For e.g: The expensive Amby valley gives you an ambivalent feeling- whether it’s worth it or not- mixed emotions.
Memory key: In science, we had studied – Copper has two valencies-Cupric & Cuprous aka Ambivalent.
Examples:
a.) The tenant’s character sounded a bit AMBIGUOUS. Hence, the landlady was AMBIVALENT about renting her apartment.
b.) The prospective groom’s family background looked AMBIGUOUS so the bride’s family were AMBIVALENT about accepting their offer.
If you say ‘yes and no’ to a question, it means you are ambivalent. Feeling two emotions at the same time.
4. AFFECT VS EFFECT
Affect: Affect with an ‘a’ means “to influence,” as in, “The venom affected the villian” Or to “act” as in “She affected an air of superiority”.
Effect: Effect with an ‘e’ means “a result” as in “The effect of the nail was notorious” or “The lighting effects were spectacular”.
Rule:
Barring a few exceptions, Affect is used as a verb and effect as a noun. It’s easy to remember with the picture.
“The Venom affected the Villain”, Remember the ‘V’s in the sentence and you’ll remember that “affected” is a verb.
And “The effect of nail was notorious”, Remember the ‘N’s and you’ll know that “effect” is a noun.
And once you remember that Affect with an ‘a’ is generally used as a Verb and Effect with an ‘e’ is generally used as a Noun, you’ll get it in 95% of the sentences.
Exceptions:
Well, affect can be used as a noun when you’re talking about psychology–it means the mood that someone appears to have. For example, “She displayed a happy affect.”
Psychologists find it useful because they know that you can never really understand what someone else is feeling. You can only know how they appear to be feeling.
And, effect can be used as a verb that essentially means “to bring about,” or “to accomplish.” For example, you could say, “Kapil Sabil hoped to effect change in the education system.”
