In our life, at one point of time we feel that we are losing our direction to success. We start to doubt our strengths and our efforts. At that moment many persons who are around us may also discourage us about the future but there you will find one odd person who stands by you and tells you and remind you that you can achieve. With that slight motivation, you go and conquer the world. And this is called true inspiration.

In my life too I remember an incident where I was about to fall prey for devil of doubt. Let me share the story with you.

This incident took place when I was studying graduation. I was in the first year when I got misguided. I had not studied much during the academic year and when the final exams were there, I had to search for excuses to skip the exams.

I was in B Sc. first year where I had to appear in six papers. First paper was English i.e., first language. Second paper was Hindi. Third exam was of Science and Technology. Rest three exams were Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science.


English, Hindi and Science & Technology exams were little bit easier and I was sure to pass them with good percentage. But rest three papers were tough and I was very nervous about appearing in those three papers.

As I had applied for various competitive exams, those exams were also coincided with two exams i.e., mathematics and computer science. This gave me great relief. I thought I would convince my parents that I will appear in the first three exams only and will appear in the competitive exams. As planned I convinced my parents about it.

I appeared in the first three exams. For mathematics exam, NDA NA exam held by UPSC was an excuse. For Computer Science exam, I had to appear in the SSC exam. Till now it was very nice but I could appear in the Physics exam and there was no excuse with me.

My brother was studying in an another city where he was appearing in the second year exams. I called him after I skipped the computer science exam and told him that I may skip the physics paper too. By hearing this, he got very angry on me and told me to appear in the physics exam.

My brother returned that day to me and told that he will try to teach me few important topics and told me to start preparation. From that moment till my exam, my brother stood with me and provided great amount of guidance and motivation. Finally I appeared in the physics exam. Soon result came and I passed physics exam with 88%.

So my brother is a true inspiration for me.
