✅Calmness is a superpower. It’s the ability to not overreact or take things personally.Don't let panic obstruct the flow of your thoughts. In the calm of clarity, solutions emerge and strength is found.
🅾️You may lose a question by not reading that one thing you were supposed to revise today!
🅾️But you will lose an entire year by not reminding that it takes calmness, clarity and self belief to clear the exam more than anything- Till the time you realise this truth, all those hours of toil will go down the drain.
🅾️Nothing will change in a day's revision.Everything will change with this realisation.🙂
P.s. - You are supposed to be in the exam hall before 30 minutes ( this was not the case previously- do take it very seriously!)
All the best!

Mentorship is not just about giving directives. It needs patience - both from the mentor and the mentee.
If you know your “why”, you will find a way out. A mentor is at best who helps you discover your “why”. Until then, have faith- in the process, in yourself🙂
