Obstacle all your Probelms and become a successful person

Where there is a will, you will find out a way for achieving your goal. This means we are writing our fate.

But there are a lot of obstacles in front of us. Our discussion is center around to Age factor, failure, Financial and educational.

Age factor

If you think age is a factor to learn CA course, then, see the following example and change your thought.


After retirement age, SD Bala thought for a new career. Joined CA course in the age of 56. Gone through regular articlship and finally 10 days before attaining the age of 60, he becomes a Qualified Chartered Accountant.

Reverse case

There are certain students who start studying in younger age and keep on writing CA exam and qualify as CA when they become senior citizen. We can compare this is with Famous cricketer “Rahul David Innings. Write exam till ICAI fails to fail. But the effort they have taken in all their ages where just awesome.

This proves there is no age limit for learning. 

Failure

If we fail, as usual will decrease confidence and sails over failure. Let us observe the following example

The result of May 2010 was produced a breaking news of securing rank by a Failed student and his name is Archit Atual shah from Gujarat. Out of 8 papers, he failed more than 5 papers during November 2009 exam. From Failure to success only you have to travel from November to May. In short Failure is not a limiting factor to achieve success rather an external indicator to achieve the best result.

Financial

Some time your parents may be illiterate as well as they are not in a position to let you to go coaching classes. Some time you have to take tuition to income and articlship stipend may be not enough to survive.

This real life story written by “Anil Kumar Gupta about his real life experience. He was belongs to a poor family background. Most of the subject he was adopted for “self study” Method. Taken Tuition classes for his survival since articlship stipend were not enough to meet all the expense.


But students who are undergoing coaching classes for reputed faculties were fails miserably.

Educational

Some time our educational back ground may be in a vernacular medium. This may create some problem at the time of doing CA course. If you are from a non commerce back ground and vernacular medium student, then it is really a challenging.


Up to my Graduation, my learning medium was vernacular medium. When joined CA course, there is no other option for me other than studying English. Though, it was difficult for me at the beginning but by luck got a grip over language.



In short, if you decided to become a CA even if you are aged, Or from a poor family back ground or educational back ground , you achieve it.

This is dedicated to Failed students.... Dont worry be happy

CA Final result is Out and hearty congratulation to those who have made their dream True. Those who are failed, Pause a while, change your selves and achieve the same. These articles I am dedicated to those who seek suggestion for improving the study Routine.

The study process is indeed involves Investment of time. From today onwards 105 days or 2520 hours of time is Left for investing your study process.  How effective you are utilize time for study process will determine your success. For that you have to forget your present failure.

“Write your sad moment in a sand and Glad moment in Rock”.
But normally reverse is happening. Always we try to hold worst thought and creating a negative feeling and finally another failure. Human have antenna which easily catch negative thought faster and positive thought slowly.
Instead of thinking about failure, dream about clearing the exam and becoming a CA. This will give you an extra power and energy to work hard and improve productivity. Change your Thought process.
Each day, when you wake up, take a firm decision to utilize the time of that day very effectively for study process. Before going to sleep, just ensure that you have utilized the day effectively.

Identify what was the root cause for present Failure?
How you fail is immaterial, but what was caused your failure is highly relevant.  Reason for failure is being different from person to person. Each of you has valid and genuine reason for failure. Commit strongly yourself for not repeating the same mistake again. Henry Ford Quote, “Failure is a right step to start wise again”. If you are not committing the same mistake, then, it is a wise start.
If you want to success in exam, open your mind. From a “No way”, you have to find out a “way”. There is a way opened in front of you to reach success. But the choice is yours to open or close your mind.

Increase the bench mark
Fix a good bench mark which will automatically optimize your performance. If your bench mark is good and if you have a good confidence, you will work hard to achieve your bench mark and ultimately you will get a good result.

Plan your studies
Before plan your studies, following two parameters should be taken in to account
a)   Your strength and weakness with respect to studies
b)  Maximum utilization of time in effective manner.

Balanced study
Your studies must be balanced. Some of you may extremely good in practical and not good in theoretical angle and vice versa. This will reflect in your exam marks. Effort must be taken from your part to improve your weakness so that your studies will be balanced.

Quality study
First thing is ensure “Quality of study” and not “Quantity of study”. This means Coverage of entire syllabus with crystal clarity of the conceptual part. If you are clear with conceptual angle, no doubt you can handle any kind of practical or challenging questions by hitting the concepts.

All the best

Merit of writing Both Group

Dear Friends
This is the discussion focusing about writing both group, its merit and reason for opting group wise.

 If we take the trend of student writing both groups together, it is lower than individual group. Why more students like to write

CA exam individual group??
Only one resource is required for writing both group in my opinion is “Sufficient time” for preparation. This is varying from students to student so that defining a time frame for writing both groups is impossible.

Investment in studies involves time. Our objective here is not to reduce the time rather optimize the time to study.

Writing group wise is lagging your success see following cases.
Those who are written group wise, after their exam, they start preparation for pending group bit slowly. After the result, if adverse event happen, they have to focus again what they have already learned and the pending group will be pending for ever. Even if the result declares and cleared the group, there require time to settle down the remaining group and this will lead to hypertension and failure. Thus, in effect 1 year may be lost. What will happen if you are loosing 1 year at I P C C stage and 1 year at Final stages?

How can switch to both groups?

a)   If you are learning first time, try to study both group. If you feel confidence then proceed with both group.
b)  If you are not feeling confident then give more focus and stress on any one group at your choice.
c)    There are good and easy reference books are available in the market. Those who find difficult with module, switch to good reference book.
d)   There are good teachers for all the subjects. If a particular subject causes you a headache, approach with good teachers and extra home work. You can overcome difficulties.

Why students opt for individual group?
1.   Insufficient time

At the time of registering, I think some of our friends have sufficient time for preparing both Groups. Seriousness to studies is slow poison. When the exam dates approaches, will be more serious about studies and there is no choice other than group.

Some others because of vast area of syllabus and come from non -commerce streams may require more time to settle down.

Due to Rush between office and coaching class find difficult for own preparations, classes for any particular group may be pending.

Thus, the reason for insufficient time is vary.

2.   Fear to fail
This is the major reason where the students opt for Individual group. Some may be thinking that giving full focus on any particular group will lead to passing the exam.

This is may not be true. Since CA exam pattern and method cannot be predictable.

One of the important issue associated with group wise students are failing for want of aggregate marks. Getting 40 marks is not a difficult but overall mark may be problems. Even if you fail for want of aggregate you still failed.


Merit for opting of  both group

a)   Carry forward benefit

You can simply overcome the aggregate mark problems by carry forwarding.

b)  No pending of other group
             Since you have learned both groups, there is no problem of pending other group always.

Flip up side of writing both groups

But writing both groups without have enough time for preparation is just like committing suicide. It will spoil your quality of study and ultimately failure.

Your Action plan for November 11 exam

Dear Friends
Now Your CA final result is just over and trend is seems to be pretty good. But what ever happened, still some of our friends were struggling for passing out CA exam. Now there are two segments of people who are going to write November 11 exam. The first group is already failed in May exam and second category is fresher’s.
My word to Losers of exam
Having failed in spite of your all possible effort is simply says “miserable”. No one can stop you from failing until you have changing your mindset in a positive manner.
This failure just like an external indicator for internal performance improvement.  If you observe you’re the failure pattern itself shows a consistent trend pattern! (Fails for Aggregate or fails in practical or theoretical papers.)
First of all, you have to change your mental outlook in a positive manner.  Getting a grip over your weakness will help you to success your next exam.  Second, you have to motivate yourselves.  Remember ‘No one can motivate you other than yourselves. You have to pass your life, so, you have to keep motivate yourselves; put extra effort, if it is necessary to accomplish your goals.
This is not the time to disappoint rather the right time to set forth your full power in to one particular mission that is next November exam. Whether you have failed or fresher, wake up from your sleep first and think to exploit the remaining days more effectively for study process.
How can write your next exam in a better manner??
 In this Endeavour, there require a good and effective daily study plan and strategy.  You are the only person responsible chalking out your plans. Whatever time you get free can be utilized for study process. If you looking back for the strategy of others, the result will be negative.  Self strategy is one of the most important ingredients.
 How a Topper become Topper??
 Whether you are going for Practical or theory, getting over concepts is most important.  This can be accelerated by your coaching teachers or good reference book and self study or group studies.
 Revision will help you to build your concepts stronger and better and testing under exam circumstance will help you to improve yourselves.
If you are following the above three things strictly, then, you will become a un beatable person by yourselves. 
Never feel that you have no time or running short of time. It is your duty to find out time to chalk out the action plan. Remember , all are facing the same problem of lack of time.
 ( L R T Techniques)
Your total study cycle should be allocated for “Learning, Revising and Testing” before your actual exam.
Each of these steps is very important and has to be chalked out very seriously and same important.
Example

Days
7 AM to 1 PM
3 PM to 11 PM
Monday to Wednesday
Learning
Learning
Thursday to Saturday
Revise
Revise
Sunday
Mock test
Mock test





Total days shall be allocated for both practical and theory segment. However, if you find a particular paper hectic, allocate some more time for it. As far as practical papers are concerned, solving extra number of problems will not only improve your conceptual bunch but also problem solving speeds, so it is a twin benefit for you.
Remembering section number or name of case laws is not at all important, rather writing the relevant point is most important. However, if you can able to write it in exam will be added advantages. For that better prepare a chart of sections and fix it in a place you can see it frequently.
All the best

Essay V/s Pintwise presentation

Essay presentation V/s Point wise presentation

AEssay style
The Old Man and the Sea tells an epic battle between an old, experienced fisherman and a giant marlin. The fisherman, who is named Santiago, has gone 84 days without catching any fish at all. He is so unlucky that his young apprentice, Manolin, has been forbidden by his parents to sail with the old man and been ordered to fish with more successful fishermen. Thus on the 85th day, Santiago sets out alone, taking his skiff far onto the Gulf. He sets his lines and, by noon of the first day, a big fish that he is sure is a marlin takes his bait. Unable to pull in the great marlin, Santiago instead finds the fish pulling his skiff. Two days and two nights pass in this manner, during which the old man bears the tension of the line with his body. Though he is wounded by the struggle and in pain, Santiago expresses a compassionate appreciation for his adversary, often referring to him as a brother. On the third day of the ordeal, the fish begins to circle the skiff, indicating his tiredness to the old man. Santiago, now completely worn out and almost in delirium, uses all the strength he has left in him to pull the fish onto its side and stab the marlin with a harpoon, ending the long battle between the old man and the tenacious fish. Thinking about the high price the fish will bring him at the market and how many people he will feed. While Santiago continues his journey back to the shore, sharks are attracted to the trail of blood left by the marlin in the water. The first, a great makosharks, Santiago kills with his harpoon, losing that weapon in the process. But the sharks keep coming, and by nightfall the sharks have almost devoured the marlin's entire carcass, leaving a skeleton consisting mostly of its backbone, its tail and its head. Finally reaching the shore before dawn on the next day, Santiago struggles on the way to his shack, carrying the heavy mast on his shoulder. Once home, he slumps onto his bed and falls into a deep sleep.

Old man and CA Really Inspirational

Dear CCI friends,

a) This is my effort to share among you a real life story. This is the real life story of my boss friend.

b) When I failed several time in CA exam then I have asked the question with my self as to “is the word CA has the meaning of “Come again”?

c) Why I have failed in spite of my hard work. After frequent failure, again going to write the exam, Most of the face is common and familiar. When I failed, I have to face so many questions from the society.

d) When I succeeded, no one there even to appreciate. I thought, this may be the behavior of people. This means all the people are not like that.

e) Those who had failed have any valid reason for failure which may be ranging from any physical illness or Boss has not allowed leave to prepare.

f) All seems to be valid and reasonable. They all are finding a shelter to cover up their failure. When I cleared my CA exam, some of the familiar faces still continue the same process.

g) But when I failed, there was one person whose great life experience helped me to come positively write the exam.

h) I also realized that giving up the CA course is not a solution. Any way, I started the journey. So, I don’t want to discontinue the journey in between. Now, I thought , this is the right time to share with one and each of you.

The main hero of my story.

Ø He is my boss friend and both are done the articles together in the year 1982.

Ø He is cleared the Intermediate exam in the first attempt during the year 1983.

Ø He had written Both group and cleared Second group 1985 and my boss become a boss. ( CA)

Ø Next time Failed in first group but secured two exemptions. He just have to clear two more paper to become a qualified Chartered Accountant. But , read the twist which was happened.
But following are the twist of his story

a) Every time the paper MAFA (Now SFM) paper made him trouble. That paper was a big hectic paper for him. Every time after result declared, he is failed in MAFA paper. Even, he may be managed to clear Accounts. If he cleared MAFA, then, fully qualified CA.

b) At the time of solving the problem, he can able to solve during the studies. But exam, he was a total failure during the exam time. Some thing wrong.

c) There is a good dedication in studies and he never be dishearten in his studies due to constant failure.

b) Lost the exemption which he had secured earlier attempt and that caused to write all the papers in first group. If you are in his place, you may be left the CA course forever. This was the first twist.

c) There are so many syllabus changes over, this caused further trouble since he has to learn with the new syllabus. This is another twist.

d) Went to coaching twice for the subject MAFA (SFM) and full mind and body was dedicated to this paper. But failed. He failed not one year but for 21 years.

e) He never missed even a single exam attempt. He never felt bad about himself. He already started his own business to write and finalize account.

f) His wife was so supportive and given him all the form of moral support.

g) Finely cleared during 2006 may attempt and become a real hero.


What we have to understand.

1) Never give up our effort. Failure that is after constant effort simply miserable experience. But, it is life and we have to accept my dear friends. Be positive.

2) Some of our friends were leave the CA course merely due to failure or fear to fail. Please observe the above example, how much time the hero was written CA final first group exam? 18 years.

3) Try to find the mistake of yours. Some time you may be not able to find your reason for failure. But, it can be traced out by some others.

4) Experience make the life more perfect.
