Reason of reaching late
Being late to class | From Canva

Here you will find the reasons of being late and also tips and tricks that you can use so that you can reach on time.

It is never good if you have habit of reaching late. If you are late for work, your boss will shout on you. If you are late at school, you will not get your attendance. If you are business owner then you may loss faith and footfall of customers.

Let's talk about attendance in schools. Schools always note down the daily attendance and also they have criteria of attendance that students need to follow and attend more than 75% or 80% classes which if they fail then the consequences may be they will be not allowed in the exams or students may be penalized.

Imagine you are late for school and teacher ask you stand outside the class then there are many disadvantages of that :


  • You will have to stand outside the class which means everyone can see and can think bad about you.
  • You will not get attendance.
  • You can't write notes.
  • You will lag behind from other students in understanding the lesson.
  • And one of the thing is that your time will get wasted.

There may be several reasons of being late to class:

  • I am late and if I go now then it will disturb others.
  • Students don't feel responsibility for their study.
  • I have no interest in studies.
  • Class teacher always send me out of the class.
  • I don't want to sit on front seat.
  • I want to sit on last seat so that I can sleep.

Now how one can avoid being late to the class.

  • Sleep as early as you can.
  • Take sound sleep for 7 to 8 hours.
  • Wake up early to do most important work.
  • Eat light food at night as it takes to digest the food.
  • Study your subject with fun.
  • Try to study daily so that you can match pace with teacher.
  • Always be active in class.
  • Interact with teachers.
  • Sit on the front desk.
  • Avoid friendship of students who are not good in studies.
  • Take a route which takes less time to reach school.
  • Set your goals and ask someone to keep a check.
  • Prepare everything night before every morning.
  • Set alarm.
  • Keep your clock 10 minutes ahead the original time.
There are the tips and tricks that everyone can use and can get effective results. These tips and tricks are personally used by us. 

We would love to listen from your side. Feel free to share your views. 
Let us know in comments below what other techniques you all have used to wake up early in the morning.

What should I do in a situation when I need to study hard but I can't?

Solution to your problems
What should I do in a situation when I need to study hard but I can't?

I am writing this for everyone who is going through hard time. For someone who has work pressure.

First, Let me tell you that you are not alone, it is happening with everyone who is doing multiple task everyday to make their life tension free.

Studies 

Firstly, you need to break your timing. You need to dedicate particular time on each work. 

After college, you need to take rest when you feel sleepy then take a power nap for half an hour or for 15 minutes. For the better concentration in sleeping or in study try Experience Calm. I am personally using this.

Now about Concentration, when you are doing particular work then just focus on it no need to distract your mind to anything else. Don’t be multitask, it will decrease your efficiency. When you are studying then just focus on it, don’t think about anything else because there is no need to think about anything else.

Frustration - Do you know the main reason behind your frustration is the lack of concentration. You frustrate only when you feel you can't do your work properly or with less efficiency. So first and foremost you need to concentrate on a single work. Again don’t do multitask.

Motivation - There is only one person who can motivate you, Do you want to know who is the person?. 

Go and stand in front of a mirror.

You may miss a meeting with an excellent person in the world
Swami Vivekananda 

Have you got my point?. (Please let know by comment).

How can you handle the family pressure ?

Family, Debt, Pressure - let me ask you few questions and you need to answer them and comment them below? I will surely give you the answers but I want to know your answers first. Be truthful.

  • Do you have a problem?
  • Do you have a solution?
  • Can you do something about them?

Answer them sincerely.

Now about family, debt, pressure - You know that are not a part of your pressure that is just a part of your life but when you think about them that creates pressure.

You need to solve them one by one. Who don’t have problems? But the important thing is how can you cope with them.

Where can we go to find peace if we cannot feel it in our own heart and mind?

You can do everything if you are determined to do them. Be curious in doing the work, not in their result.

I know you are so strong that you can do anything you just need to find a perfect way doing it.

Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda - Anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject as poison.

So don’t be upset with anything. Go and fight with them. You have come so far and I know you can cross any obstacle that will come n your journey.

Now, I think you got my point. So please let me know your thoughts in comments.

Comparison with yourself
From Canva | Keep your competition with yourself

Why do you want to live anyone else life? Live it in your way.

People from IITs are not god they are same as you & me, they are human being, they are student same as you.
You know, you are more talented than many of the students in IITs. You are working in the field in which you always wanted to work. Right?
Everyone has same opportunities, there is just need to find them. Your hardwork, your dedication, your determination takes you wherever you want to go.

Smart study tips
From Canva | Tips to Study Smart

Here are the tips and skills for which you were waiting from long time so that you can study with more productivity in your school.

  1. Prepare a study plan.
  2. Set your goal and complete them on time.
  3. Don’t focus on single subject in a day, study different subjects to avoid monotonous schedule.
  4. Connect the dots - Study by relating every topic
  5. Summarize everything.
  6. Make notes to use them later.
  7. While solving questions try to find pattern.
  8. Instead of mugging up, read everyday & learn everyday.
  9. After you have studied a topic or chapter, try to recall them and write in a notebook because learning using pen and paper is the best method.
  10. Be continuous - First complete what you have started then start another which means if you are studying a chapter then complete it before starting another to maintain flow.
  11. Don’t exhaust too much, don’t over do anything. Don’t force yourself, if you feel that you need a break then please take a break.
  12. Don’t sit for long hours. Take break after every 30 minutes or whatever duration suits you.
  13. And this is from my personal experience, don’t multi task. Focus on single work otherwise everything will remain incomplete and there will be no accuracy and efficiency.
  14. Sharing is caring - So whenever you find someone who is not able to understand certain topic then go forward and them them.
And at last
If you think I have left something then please let me know in comments.

Can anybody share their inspirational story of JEE preparation ?


I was always fascinated about IIT JEE because I am from Kota which is education city.
Every year many students come to kota to prepare for IIT JEE.
I saw the dedication and hard work of the students and at that time I was in 8th class.
So I decided to try for IIT JEE but no reason why ?
Then I came to know more about IIT JEE that IITs are the most prestigious colleges in the country and IIT Bombay is the best of them.
So I decided that I will take admission in IIT Bombay but for that, i have to be in top 50 ranks.
So I completed my 10th board with 86% marks back in 2009 then I joined individual coaching for class 11th.
Then in class 12th I joined Motion IIT-JEE, Kota for the preparation of JEE 2011.
But as we all know to get good marks we have to solve as much question as we can but at that time I always studied the notes and never did many questions as required so that year I failed to qualify JEE.
Then I went for counselling of AIEEE but didn't get good branch so my brother told me to join the coaching again and this time doesn't repeat the mistakes.
So I joined Resonance, Kota. In resonance, I got 40% scholarship through entrance exam. I started my journey for JEE 2012 with Batch U7 which was the last batch of that year.
After the 1st test, i got promoted to R7 batch (batch are like R, S, T, U).
I did hard work and I got 2nd rank in that batch (not in the institute :P).
Then I gained more confidence that yes I can crack JEE 2012.
During the preparation, i took a room at rent in front of my house so that no one disturbs me.
My mother was so dedicated to my studies then she even doesn't let me allow to come to the house for lunch.She always brought it for me to my room.
She always tried to save my time.
I used to study whole day and only at night I was allowed to join my family for dinner.
They even disconnected the cable connection so that I can study.
After JEE exam now time was for the result. But this time also I was not able to score good rank but I was JEE Qualified and I got admission through AIEEE in one of the best colleges of country Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (IIIT - A).

What is truly a waste of your personal time?



  • Emails - Everyone knows that most of our email are spams and the emails with offers which are not relevant to us still we check them just to clear the mail inbox.
  • Facebook - There are more than 500 friends on your friend list but no one talks to you but still you wait for someone to message you and you know that not a single notification worth your time still you continuously check the notification.
  • Messages - There are many messaging apps like Whatsapp, hike and much more which are installed on your phone and everyone in your contact is active on them and you wait for someone’s message and in between just to spend the time you waste your personal time.
  • Advice - People are so busy that they have so much to advise everyone. If you are free then instead of advising someone else try to focus on your growth.
  • Quora - Yes, Quora s one of the best apps to use and yes it is productive but till you are reading the answers which are productive and helpful to you.Don’t waste your time on reading questions like “How can I ask a girl for a date?” or ‘How was your experience on your first date?’. Ignore these type of questions and try to save your time.
  • Mobile - Ignore the unnecessary notifications. The worst thing about mobile is that it has so much stuff to waste our time and we spend our time and support that.
  • Ebooks - Ebooks are free and easy to carry but you can’t say no to the fact that most of the time it wastes our time. If you are reading or learning anything from eBook then you should ignore eBooks and must purchase hard copies.

walking up in the morning
Advantages of waking up in the morning
Yes, it helps.
Here I am going to ask few simple questions “When you awake till 3 am , what do you do?, Do you use that time for most important work? or for any job related work? What you do at that time?

If you wake up in the morning then

  • It helps you to save your time or you can say it helps you to add extra time to your work.
  • Morning time is the best time to do important work like study, writing, meditation, exercise.

Let me tell you the main difference between morning time and night time.

  • During night, you feel OK to stay awake but you can’t do your work with more productivity and in morning you feel lazy to wake up but during morning time you have fresh mind to start. You can use that time to complete the most important work.
  • Morning time is better because at that time the environment is noise less, no one gonna disturb you.
  • At night you feel sleepy and when do your work while lying on the bed is the main reason of laziness.

Now, what you can do is :

  • Sleep early. Sleep around 11 pm or early.
  • Fix your sleep hour and try to follow it.
  • Wake up early in the morning and make it your habit.
  • Eat less food at night so that it can be digested in minimum time.
  • Wake up in the morning and drink enough water to feel fresh.
  • Before going to bed at night don’t use earphones and don’t listen anything.

What are the ten most important things you should do to others?


Ten things that you can do with anyone, yes with yourself also.
  • Talk - Young or Old everyone has something to share so if you can share your feelings with others and let others share their feeling with you.
  • Love - You can fill anyone’s life with joy and happiness if you can make them feel love because it is the only way anyone can connect to others, to strangers also.
  • Help - There is something you can do to others is to help them. They are in need so help them.
  • Smile - Yes, that young boy was crying and now smiling, why? because you smiled at him and made him realize to smile.
  • Listen - We all know that we have something to say but what about others who don’t have anyone to listen their part so whenever you see someone needy to wants to talk then listen them.
  • Respect - Whether a young boy/girl or old woman/man, we need to respect everyone. Share love with younger and respect elders
  • Motivate - This is not with me or you, it is with everyone that we feel demotivated many times
  • Advice - Whether young or old, elder or younger, there is a stage where everyone need advice so go to them and spread good advice.
  • Share - Sharing is caring. So whatever you have more or less, share with others. A small sharing can give a big smile to a sad face.
  • Accept - Situations changes everything. If someone has bad mood then just accept it because their mind is not in control. Let them calm themselves and help them in accepting the situation.

What is the best way to get a large number of upvotes for your answers on Quora?


There may be several methods which can be applied while writing answers but what can help in getting more viewers to your answer or more upvotes can be -
  1. Quality of content - Most of the top voted answers are upvoted because of the quality provided by the user.
  2. Length of content - There may be less chances of getting upvotes for short answers but if you can write a sarcasm then it can get more upvotes but i recommend everyone to write fully descriptive so that each viewer can get its benefit and allow users to upvote your answer
  3. User’s credibility - There is huge difference between a user who has less followers and other one who has more than 500 followers. Both write good quality and authentic answers yet author with more followers will get more view and upvotes. So answer questions as much as you can, build your profile.
  4. User’s followers - Followers create strong effect on author’s reputation as it allow other viewers to get authentic content.
  5. Be creative - Always try to be more creative while writing answers.

How do I score 490+/500 in CBSE PCBM stream with only 5 months left?


5 months are enough to prepare for CBSE as you have to target only your NCERT text books.
The simple way that you can follow is :
  1. Divide your time for each subject. For e.g - 1–2 hour for chemistry, 1–2 hour for biology, etc. It totally depends on you how much time do you want to spend on each subject.
  2. Try to study first, the subject you feel hard to learn or that is tough to understand for you so that you can utilize your time to learn that subject properly. Like if you feel mathematics is tough then start studying maths because best time to start your studies is in the morning and use that time to do mind work.
  3. As your target is CBSE exams. Read every chapter of your NCERT textbook for subjects like physics, chemistry and biology. Before referring any other refresher, first complete every chapter of NCERT book.
  4. Mark important points using marker.While reading books use marker to mark important points so that later you can directly refer them instead of wasting time for whole book.
  5. Write important notes in a notebook. After marking if you feel that some points are more important then i suggest you to write your notes in a separate notebook. The benefit of it is that during last month of your exam you just have read that notebook and it will save your time.
  6. Solve every question given in the textbook, whether it is in between chapters or at the end of chapter.
Now for your daily routine.
  1. Eat Healthy Stay Healthy.
  2. Leave everything, which distracts you, outside your room.
  3. While studying tell everyone to not to disturb you.
  4. Keep everything you need on table, from pencil box to notebook and from water to fruits.
  5. Don’t eat heavy food while studying.
  6. Use table and chair to study instead of bed.
  7. Your table must have only that things which you gonna use during study.
  8. Try to complete 1 thing before starting other.
Also if you want to refer any guide then from my personal experience i suggest you to follow Shivdas and Sons book for each subject as it includes last 10 or 15 years solved papers. (Please check if it is available, if not, then consult with your teachers.)
Now everything is up to you. How much you can do will reflect on your result.
Brian Tracy wrote very important thoughts on - The Truth About Frogs
If You Have To Eat Two Frogs, Eat The Ugliest One First
This is another way of saying that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important task first. Discipline yourself to begin immediately and then to persist until the task is complete before you go on to something else.
If You Have To Eat A Live Frog At All, It Doesn’t Pay To Sit And Look At It For Very Long
The key to reaching high levels of performance and productivity is to develop the lifelong habit of tackling your major task first thing each morning. You must develop the routine of “eating your frog” before you do anything else and without taking too much time to think about it.
Take Action Immediately
Successful, effective people are those who launch directly into their major tasks and then discipline themselves to work steadily and single-mindedly until those tasks are complete. “Failure to execute” is one of the biggest problems in organizations today. Many people confuse activity with accomplishment. They talk continually, hold endless meetings, and make wonderful plans, but in the final analysis, no one does the job and gets the results required.
Develop A Positive Addiction
You can actually develop a “positive addiction” to endorphins and to the feeling of enhanced clarity, confidence, and competence that they trigger. When you develop this addiction, you will, at an unconscious level, begin to organize your life in such a way that you are continually starting and completing ever more important tasks and projects. You will actually become addicted, in a very positive sense, to success and contribution.
No Shortcuts
Practice is the key to mastering any skill. Fortunately, your mind is like a muscle. It grows stronger and more capable with use. With practice, you can learn any behavior or develop any habit that you consider either desirable or necessary.
Action Exercise
What is your “frog?” What is the one task that you despise doing each day? Once you have chosen your “frog” make it a habit to wake up every morning and do that task first.


All the best for your exams
