BPSC 70TH Cut off🙂

Remembering the first Prime Minister of hashtag#BhavyaBharath India 🇮🇳 and the true "Father of the Nation," Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, 🙏🔥on his 128th birth anniversary! He formed an army, trained soldiers, provided them with uniforms and ammunition, and managed to feed them daily. It is important to note that there was no government at the time, and he was an individual responsible for managing the military budget. He had to raise funds from a colonized nation that naively believed non-violence would bring them freedom. He famously said, "If you follow me, I promise you death and India's freedom," and as a result, 80,000 joined the Indian National Army (INA). Netaji derived strength by anchoring himself in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. सादर नमन 🙏

Stop Helping When It Doesn't Work Helping others is a noble act, but there comes a time when you need to step back and reassess. If your efforts are met with resistance, ingratitude, or no meaningful progress, it’s time to stop. Continuing to help in vain isn't just unwise - it’s a waste of your time, energy, and potential. Imagine two people drowning. If you’re both struggling, it’s wisdom, not cruelty, to save yourself. You can’t help others if you’re drowning alongside them. Choose where your help is effective and valued. Knowing when to stop isn’t selfish—it’s smart. Save yourself so that you can truly save others when the time is right.
