hiii frnd ...
My frnd the key is just the hard work .... n nothing else .. this story that u have narrated has taken me back to my school days ..
Let me tell u my story .. till 9th standard i was just a normal kid .. i will get some 85% n i wud ne satisified with it .. i never got any rank in class till that time ... teachers wud critisize me and i was not a famous person in school ..
well the reason was that i wud never work hard and wud sit down to study at the last moment only ... n bad results followed ..
When i came in standard 10th i realized that my career is at stake .. n that i need to do something .. i started studying hard .. i got 93% in boards and i topped the school ... once i did that i realized that now i can go down ..
I kept working hard .... i always topped in 11th and 12th as well and also got through jee with air 89 ..
Now this all sounds magic but beneath this magic lies extreme hard work that i put in .. also i must tell u one point .. many a times we do not realize our potential .. n thus we do not strive hard .. like in my case once i topped i thought i need to do it repeatedly and it became a habit ...
so my frnd .. hard work n confidence in ur own ability will help u reach the top ..
cheers
