hi all,i do not know if this is a right thread to ask these questions but i really need some sort of advice:
I am very short on confidence side because of which i think i am not much successful in life.I have tried various stuffs but just could not get over it.
Can u suggest me some techniques to boost my confidence.Any sort of book u will suggest for reading?
Dear puys,
After going through tonnes of post i would also pour in with my experience and gyan!
Clarity of thoughts and the absolute goal should be clear , all your frustations will be gone. This is not based upon experience but observation.I myself have never followed it.
Now goes my profile.
1999: Class 10th topper
2001: Passed out from DPS RKP with decent marks
2006:Passed from DCE, BE- top 10 ranker.
Gave MBA the same year calls from XL, FMS(MS), IIT B,D. Did'nt convert any-reason not sure why I wanted to do a MBA and so did'nt prepapre.
2006-Joined top automotive firm
Due to some reasons could'nt appear for any exams in 07,08
PS: I hate what I do in my job,my boss, my colleagues everything inspite of having a decent profile.
circa 2009
SIBM Pune:Call, could 'nt convert .
XAT 2010:99 percentile no call
FMS: Have a call.
Now call it lack of clarity or whatever, instead of working my **s off to convert the lone call in hand I am pouring out here.
The point I want to make here is before embarking on any journey the goal should be clear.
So,my message to all of you who are dejected now is to do some soul searching..find out the real goal you want to achieve... do you want a MBA as an escape route from your job or whatever. Nobody can stop you from succeeding once you are clear.
The same applies to me and hopefully I will achieve what I want.
All puys welcome to comment!

Agreed . To succeed in MBA interview you need to an clear answer for the question regarding goal.But I have examples like Dhoni ( excellent at soccer , tried hand at cricket and excelled) , Harsha Bhogle ( MBA now a successfull commentator) , Chetan Bhagat ( IIM passout , now a famous novelist) . Also I have seen people moving from one domain to another. In this scenarios , how can be a clear cut goal be defined? Shold we just fake a goal to clear mba interviews?
Note for people who are groaning at my post: Plz give your valuable suggestions because I myself is in dilemma owing to the arguments given above

hi, basically your agreement is to disagree!
Let me give you a recent example of my own...I gave SNAP as a back up option. I attended SIBM, Pune interview on 29th Jan. I did'nt do any prep and during ineterviews gave honest answers(I had no other option because I had not done any god da** preparation)..
Sample Q: Why MBA when you are doing good at ur workplace?
My reply: Don't see a long term future..want to enhance my skills as a generalist etc.. but the panel seemed unconvinced.
So, they just asked some profile related questions and ended the interview..!
My feeling was that I would atleast be waitlisted, but alas got rejected!
So, now I am focussing on customised replies to convert the next big interview.
So, the jist is that honesty is good but that can be an impediment in what you what to achieve...i.e being wordly wise is as important.
Let us see if my thesis is vindicated or not...but I am god damn sure that for guys who have 100% clarity of goals don't need stamp of good business school alone to suceed, they can take other routes also!
For mere confused mortals like me MBA seems to be the best bet in a path of self discovery and sucess, definition of which is different for different individuals!

I am also planning to customise my replies too
Honesty may not be best policy always, Sometimes it is given tag of "lack of preparation" 😃 Getting selected is more important. Arguments and counter arguments can be put across on the dining table

I guess there is some flaw in the argument. Dhoni for example didn't try @ Cricket half heartedly. He tried and he pushed himself at excelling himself, similarly Harsha Bhogle had a passion for cricket before he went to IIMA and also Chetan Bhagat definitely tried day in and day out to get himself perfected at story telling.
Look what I believe is if you want to change the direction of your career, you should believe in what you are doing, work hard at it (That will come naturally if you believe in that area) and also have some plans to fallback on in case it backfires.
MBA is not trying a thing when one fine morning you get up and decided, ok lets see what I can do, lets do an MBA. MBA is an investment and it require a lot of soul searching beforehand, it NOT a escape route (but many do believe in it), definitely it has a lot of green bucks, but let me assure you, companies are paying that much because they are making ten times through you, its not merely knowing things, its application of knowledge that you acquire during MBA.
Look any field can give you money, respect, status, Merc (Its one of Hip things and it makes the post also looks great!! :biggrin:) , if you can excel in that. Be it MBA, be it Science, be it engineering....anything, you need to have a passion for that.........
All the best 😃
hi all,i do not know if this is a right thread to ask these questions but i really need some sort of advice:
I am very short on confidence side because of which i think i am not much successful in life.I have tried various stuffs but just could not get over it.
Can u suggest me some techniques to boost my confidence.Any sort of book u will suggest for reading?
Do a self introspection of yourself.
R u pursuing what you really love??
R u good at something else and you are not pursuing it just because of family and peer pressure??
Do you love yourself to the extreme limits???
Do you have a destination in your mind and a never die passion???
Do you fear from faliures???
Do you learn from faliures??
Answer to yourself about these questions and when you get an answer just start working on them and choose a path that will take you till your destination.You will find many difficulties on the way but you don't have to loose your temper rather use your temper to achieve success.Fight fight and fight till you have the last breath in you.You can rewrite your own destiny my dear friend.
hi ...its my first post ..i m in truble an in dipression ...i give my cat 2 nd tym ..apart frm cat i give all entrnce exam ..bt i cudnt do well .......now i hav jst a liTtil hope with cat reslt ...i m very frustrated.

well friend....i hope you know that love is unconditional.....dont act on other's whims....find someone who loves you as a person not your status...live life as you want...dont take tnsn...life is full of opportunities...try to figure out why do you want to do MBA...then only you can put your sincere effort and get the results....dont act foolish buddy....how can you hear such comments and who is she to put such conditions....even if you got through MBA and marry her....you would be living a life of slave....get yourself freedom man....and fight hard for success for yourself, for your parents who have always given you unconditional love....get out of this illusion better known as materialistic love....see the bigger picture....know your worth.....never let others put price tag on you....
My story so far:
When was in college, used to see batch-mates studying for CAT and all such exams, I was in no mood. Thought it's enough to get a job that offers 15k salary p.m. But when landed in reality, could easily assess the value of an MBA degree. When I was a kid, and did well in Xth Board, ppl around me anticipated I would become an engineer and doctor, but a year ago when I was a Marketing Engineer, in a French MNC dealing in the power and transport sector, I could see what returns an engineering degree can fetch. I used to just print crores of pages and scan personal documents of seniors. And I knew hell couldnt be worse!
I had a little interest in finance/ share trading/ investment/ entrepreneurship and a lot of affinity towards spending money, and obviously the desire for earning the same to empower myself. And I clubbed them together, and what came out is this career option - An MBA degree, but only from the top 20/ top 30 colleges in India, otherwise return on investment (high course fees and two years time) won't be good enough. And then started to THINK about preparation. But got lazy, sat for CAT 2007, got 96.7%ile overall, with great DA and good QA, but pathetically low in VA (around 45%ile, as i remember). I knew being from a vernacular medium this bilayiti language is the demon.
I made plans for CAT '08, purchased old IMS materials from college street in Kolkata, and also even took the TIME test series (previous year, i didnt have any book/ material/ course or even these AIMCATS)... but the materials gathered dusts perpetually. Was doing good in mocks. had a high hope as usual. But at the end, it was Fiasco, CAT '08 - 75%ile, with QA and DI above 85%ile, and VA as low as 16/17 %ile with negative score. I bought forms for NITIE, IMT, MDI, SP JAIN, - all wastage of money! fared badly in SNAP, JMET and NMAT.
And then started preparing seriously in a small group of three. We were doing well for first 3 months, my focus was solely on VA. and then occurred the accident. the other two of my group got smitten in love, and the functioning of the study group collapsed. the situation at work was getting bitter and bitter, and I decided to resign, got 2 months time before CAT, but was not honest enough. Only spent time with improving my VA skills. And the result was reaped. Was getting highest %iles in VA in Mocks. finally exams came. IIFT - 17.5 only, XAT - 92%ile (expected 96-97%ile, and the XIMB app fees were wasted), initially never thought about GIM for quality issue, and now was thinking - want of choice! Alas, it was too late now, dates are over! JMET - no rank even. and now just waiting for CAT in which i could only attempt 42-45, and i have heard of 50+ attempting candidates in umpteen number. So keeping my ten fingers crossed. And then I have a knack in creativity (design based, and am little fond of communication development of late, am part of a Toastmasters Club in the city) - and also do freelance design jobs. So waiting avidly for MICAT!
When I left my job I was confident enough with my funds, but cash flow was pathetic, and that financial might collapsed, thinking about joining back to the same post at same pay scale at the same hell of a company.
Lost almost all the races so far, gained something - experience. And that invigorates me for one more endeavour - looking forward to November 2010.
See one think I have learn from life is that u have to earn everything.
Lot of us have seen bourevile chocolate ad it says u earn bourevile.
My view is that u earn everything in lyf , even if u dont get it tht means either u committed some mistake or others were better than u as simple as tht.
Lot of people here taking abt suicide according 2 me suicide is most cowardly act anyone can do.. we should realize are mistake and work on it rather than crying on it
Few things I want u take note:
1. dont compete with others ,compete with urself always try 2 perform better than what u have done.
2. people lik dir bhai ambhai was not as educated as we all r see wht he has done and achieved.
See my results(xat , snap etc ) are also not up to d mark
I m waiting 4 cat hopefull something nice will happen
Even If not happen I m definitely not gone suicide. Lyf hav lot of opportunities
See my academic record
10 56.33
12 70.2
b.com 58.05
no work ex
I know lot of bschool gone reject me but I know I have talent I have to shape it n worlds of opportunities will knock at my door
So guys just work hard, even harder as gita says do work without think of fruit u will get frm it
I know my post will not be as motivating as others post were but remember yaar excellence ke peench baago success salae jak par ke tuamre peench aaye

This girl seems to be a bad, bad girl...aka knottykitty
Send the girl over to me, she needs to get spanked real hard.
You could have also asked her the price at which she would agree to live with you and what currency would she like your hard earned remuneration to be i so that she can spend your hard earned remuneration in a car which she will probably use to get to a guy with higher remuneration.
PS:don't marry money/fame hungry B$#@!$#$ if you do, i swear i will earn more, be the other guy and get to your future wife and do the required servicing on her just to tell you the same line again and remind you of your mistake. oh btw, Happy Valentine's Day 
To all the other hopelessly hapless creatures out here,
IIT will only help you if you are interested in Technology
IIM will help you if you are in interested management
BUT here is the point to ponder upon - why are you interested?
ask the right questions and you will get the right answer.
Remember money is just means to an end and never an end in itself, you eat to live and not live to eat.
and this is exactly why i don't dignify and completely despise the thread "why mba". if you don't know then you don't belong. period.
most of you guys are so shit scared because a lot of you don;t understand what you need to do in life. Money is the byproduct and not the Product of what ever you do. Its the Price that the society pays you for a job that you do for the society. so do something you like so that you naturally excel in it. why is this funda so Fishing hard to understand?
All others who want to suicide over because of XYZ reasons, you think people who are successful just got there without failures?
Please read some good autobiographies. Or talk to your parents/elders. If not just talk to anyone who is successful. In business you will have a boom and bust cycle. take life as it comes, dont be such pessimistic @$$#^@#%$
look at the world's successful/rich list, half of them are college dropouts. one of them is a guy who got thrown out of his own company, then was begged to come on board after he formed another company later. one guy started assembling computers in his living room another in his backyard, the latter decided he might as well produce software. another guy started with a simple teen magazine that he printed in his dorm and today owns an airline company to his name. another guy heads India's largest bank today and he started as a bank PO with hons in English literature. one guy asked "hmm, why can't we buy and sell over the internet?". India's biggest business family's proprietor melted coins to make profit. one guy paid his first tax of the profit from his investments by selling his bicycle . the starting business of one of the world's most celebrated car giant had failed and the guy filed for bankruptcy. one of the shortest man in football world is also the fiercest from Argentina, another shorty rules Bollywood today and says that he is an idiot ad yet another shorty rules cricketdom. i can go on for days about these things. all that these guys did was that they followed their passion.
No matter what you are bad at, you must be good at something. leverage the good against the bad and call it success.
sorry for hurting any "sentiments" but lets grow up shall we?
Just couldn't take all the shit any longer.
Hi
1.You no what, all those who are dejected, first feel gud that atleast you wanna do sumthin to change the way you are feeling right now.and YOU CAN, you know, everybody does not have the guts to post over here.
2.and as far as the dejection go, just do one little thing, tomorrow wake up before your mom dad, go in there room and see them sleeping ,and you would realize that your problems are nothing as compared to what they face, and still they are there, by your side, for you, always with a smile and hug.It might sound stupid, go hud them, tell them you love them.It HElps(experience speaking:))
3.Tell yourself that this phase would pass, and surely it would.Im sure you would have done many stupid things when you were little(at that point of time, those must have even seemed more like a fiasco) havnt they passed, this low phase even would.and you aint alone,everyone goes throu this phase sumtime or the other, I have, he/she(randomly) has..FIGHT IT OUT
4.Go and JUST TO DO.Stand right in front of the mirror, and tell yourself YOU CAN DO IT.and just dont bother then what the world says.Believe me, if You have faith in yourself, no body in this world can shake you.
5. and yaar, we live in a real world, if bad things happen, good things happen as well.Be positive na..what has happened is your past, its gone. Now what you make of your future,depends on you..either LIVE it the way you want or let it topple..Choice is yours.
phew quite sum philosophy,please dont hope to kill me,for you cant:biggrin:.
, i hope you see iv got a scooter to runn..:biggrin:
but honestly, THe 'belief in yourself' is what makes you stand out.
Be proud of you being youself!!:)
keep smiling.:)
Swati
Happy Valentine's Puys
Wrote following line for you :)
Ek aur valentine day
Ek aur hype
Ek aur baar logo ki majbori ise mananey ki
Archies ki dukane saj gayein.
Dil ke akar waley gubbarey phoolney lage
Phoolo ki mehak mehgi ho gayi ,
Ek aur baar radio par wahi vartalaap ,wahi contests for your date
Ek aur baar apni maa se jhooth bolne ka bahana sochna
Ek aur baar logo ki vyangh roopi muskurahat jhelnay ki tyaari
Ek aur baar waiter ko tip dekar kisi ko manmohit karni tyyari...
On this valentine's day , as I look back to all the affairs I have had , and all I wanted to write about this relation of mine, I could not help it and today I make it public !!! Here is the song for her initially
That I just got dumped
I just got dumped
Dissed, Dismissed
Whatever the hell it is
I just got dumped
It was kinda out blue
It was kinda not true
At the time at least
Cuz I was to high to believe
Well I fell in love with ,where half of my college was in love, the name started of with M and ended with A, ah so beautiful, I knew my life would be so rosy after I get her.
Well if i get it, pyaar to milega saath mein dahej life time ka . Wow I was so happy.
My whole funda of life was that never spend a single amount on your love, but for this newly found love in my college, I started spending, dates every Sunday.
I was meeting with her every day, everywhere, classes college library, then on the table and bed in the night, I was falling in madly for her.There were times when I dated in the bathrooms too ;-).
There were times when I decided to give up my old love, there were times when I ditched my friends. Bunked classes, gave up drinking what all I did not do. Even cut myself to see how much I bleed. Met with accidents to meet up with the dates. Travel 100 miles every Sunday just to have a date with her. There were times when I started meeting people because of this affair, but then I was hating them too, because I came to know , that they were too after her.Ah God how much I hated them ! My affair was never so smooth, and I knew there were some sort of ditches involved.But then I was one who did not believe in the word Destiny, because I had always made my destiny. And this was the time when I really understood that I. This is the reason that I still love her.Well let me go further.I was so happy and frustrated in this relation of mine. I knew the time is coming, my college is coming to an end and I have to answer now to my parents and everybody , as to whats this new relation and where it is taking me !!
Then ultimately in July,3 months of a very good affair I get to know that marriage is on the cards.The marriage dates not finalized and engagement dates also not, but went ahead and registered in the court in November, and they told me they would scrutinize everything and then I would get to know whether everyone agrees or not in January.
Come January and the whole world comes crashing ..
sob sob I try to fix a date every year , thinking that My love would come to me one day, not till now !!

On this valentine's day , as I look back to all the affairs I have had , and all I wanted to write about this relation of mine, I could not help it and today I make it public !!! Here is the song for her initially
That I just got dumped
I just got dumped
Dissed, Dismissed
Whatever the hell it is

At the time at least
Cuz I was to high to believe

some things i have learnt in my very short life
Never regret what you have done in the past
Mistakes are lessons life gives you ,customized to fit each person's requirement .Make sure you learn yours .
Your ultimate goal in life is happiness not money, not position, not degrees not pleasure.
you cannot fail everytime.
Time is the most precious resource ,never waste it .
The most memorable moments are the ones you will have spent with your loved ones .
And finally dont be unhappy if your life doesnt go according to your plans ,Just make sure you enjoy the journey ....... called life .
Taking a plunge in this sea of sorrows. To all those who haven't got a single call, here's your brother.
