Before I relate it to your CAT Prep, let me ask you a simple question.
Why do Champions become Champions? I didn’t ask how – because yes, invariably they practice, practice and practice!
I asked “why”!
The one thing common to most people who reach a level of excellence in any area is that they enjoy it. That’s the reason they don’t stop at anything – a bad day, a bad week, even a bad year due to an injury or a setback of some kind.
Guess what’s worse than a string of bad scores on mocks during your CAT prep then?
That you stop enjoying your preparation because of it!
Because then you won’t get up each time that you fall.
You are unlikely to excel at something you don’t particularly enjoy. Taking it as a task to be done probably won’t give you enough fuel to last.
Laugh at your blunders and laugh away your bad scores.
Give it your best shot – but have a good time while you are at it. That will allow you to give in more and take out more.
About the author:Deekshant has sleep-walked through several 100 and 99.9 %iles in practically every section of the CAT. That he is a cricket fan and he writes okay is evident from most of his posts. 1000s of our students swear that he can motivate almost anyone to double his/her percentile through very simple yet powerful inputs. And that’s why every MBAGuru student has direct access to him via mail and Telegram. Oddly, he somehow also finds the time to write songs professionally. And yes … almost missed this … he is an alumnus of IIT Delhi & IIM Cal
