8 Reasons why you should Never Give Up

IBPS results have brought smile on many faces, but, it has also been a failure story for thousands others. We get mails from thousands of our readers, who feel that they are very disappointed with the result and future seems to be bleak, In fact, there could be all sorts of different situations in our life when the time comes and we feel that we are about to give up. This happens with each of us from time to time. Sometimes, we start feeling that perhaps something is inherently wrong with me, which is why I can never succeed. We see so many of our friends getting selected into IBPS and Other exams and we feel left out.

Today, we would like to give you 8 reasons, why you should never quit.

1. Everything Is Possible
Frankly speaking and this is my personal belief that unless you are dead you have absolutely no good reason to say you cannot succeed. NO EXCUSES! You are alive! You are free to learn new ways in order to ACCOMPLISH a masterpiece plan if the previous one didn’t work out as you wished. Stop quitting your dreams. We all learn and teach each other. We all become better at things by TRYING.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!  - Audrey Hepburn

2. Get Real
Everything takes time. In order to get better at anything spend some quality time practicing. Practice makes things perfect. When you take your first mock test for SBI PO or IBPS, you may not do that good. But, if you learn from the mock test and could add just 1 mark in your next mock, it can change everything. By the time, you will be practicing 100th mock test, you would have added 100 marks to your score. Obviously, there is a maximum limit for an achievement, but practice is definitely they way for self improvement. Screw the doubts. Practice!

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good that we often may win. By fearing to attempt. –  William Shakespeare.

3. Be Strong Like Oak
Believe me, you are stronger than you think. 1,2 or even 3 little failures are not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Your goals are far greater than all of the doubts. Imagine a little oak tree. Did it stop growing every time it was facing harsh winds? NO. So why should you stop? You are alive, aren’t you? So you have no good reason to give up.

Success will never be a big step in the future, success is a small step taken just now. – Jonatan Mårtensson

4. This Was Done Before

What are you trying for? What is your aim? Suppose, your aim is to get into SBI or IBPS? Is this something, which no one has done till now? No. this year only. thousands of candidates like you have made it to IBPS. So, why you cant? If others can do it, you can also do it.
Whatever your goal is – IT IS POSSIBLE to achieve!

5. Be Inspired. Inspire Others
Be a living inspiration for others and refuse to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve by listening to your motivational stories how it was tough and you were about to quit but you never caved in and succeeded!

6. You deserve to be happy
Do not ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You deserve happiness and success. Keep this attitude way up high and never give up until you reach your destination.

7. You are so close

If your aim is big, many people (like relatives) will laugh at you or will try ridicule. They will try to discourage from going behind your dreams. But, who are they to decide and set YOUR LIMITS? Often when you feel that you are about to give up you are the closest to making a huge breakthrough! Many of your have worked really hard for IBPS PO exam, but due to whatever reason you could not make it to the final list. This is the time, that you should start looking up to the next challenge - SBI PO and take mileage of the preparation you have done over so many months.

8. Success is the best revenge
Remember that success comes with lot of hard work and sacrifices but when it comes, it gives you infinite pleasure and peace. So, get up and lag jao mission main. Success is waiting for you.

Reserve List in IBPS PO III and IBPS Clerk III: All Doubts Clarified

This time IBPS has published a Reserve List of Candidates in the final results of both IBPS PO III and IBPS Clerk III. Lets understand the concept of a reserve list.

What is a Reserve List?
A reserve list is a list of candidates, who could not be allotted a bank in IBPS PO III or IBPS Clerk III, but could be considered for the allotment in next round of allocations.

How many candidates are there in the reserve list?
The number of candidates in the reserve list are approximately 10 percent of the vacancies under each category in IBPS PO III/ IBPS Clerk III

If, I am in the reserve list, does that mean that I will definitely get a allotment in coming lists?
No. Being in reserve list does not guarantee allotment to/recruitment by the Participating Organisation(s)/
other financial organisations. In the event of Participating Organisations/ other financial organisations providing vacancies during April 2014-March 2015, provisional allotment will be carried out for the candidates in the reserve list. So, you may get an allotment or may not get also.

If I am not in the reserve list and not got any allocation also, can I still expect a allocation in the coming lists?

No. Candidates who are not provisionally allotted or not in the reserve list will not be considered for any further process under CWE PO/MT-III.

Is the reserve list same as waiting list?
Yes, it is practically same as waiting list and is subject to availability of seats in coming allocations in this financial year (2014-15).
