Dear friends, Mains 2023 results dust has almost settled. As always, some of you would have made it to the list and some would have not. In this post, we will talk about those who couldn't make it to the list. Self-doubt, anxiety, stress, family pressure,peer pressure and the thought of again starting from the scratch might be consuming you. Don't let it affect you. Please see the silver lining that you have some whole 4-5 months to consolidate the gaps in the preparation. The lacunae need to be identified and acted upon. There is no shame and harm in failing but failing should not be an end in itself. Failure will make you wiser, experienced if you are willing to channelise it in a proper way. The Mains preparation should be so robust that whenever you get an interview call, you should be confident of making it to the final list.Just an interview call won't give you much and if you failed then you will barely have 3-4 days for the next Prelims. See the brighter side of it and stay calm. Hope this poem by Rudyard Kipling from the famous poem 'If' gives you the strength to begin again: "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, ........ Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son" We as a society don't often celebrate failures. Failure is often looked down upon. We are making a humble initiative to embrace failures with a smiling face. Kindly share the post as much as you can. Spread our word! Warm Regards Team Steel Frame Academy
