Well, wait is about to get over and soon you will be able to see the final results (along with allocations) of IBPS PO and IBPS Clerk. IBPS has made it clear in its notification that final allocation will happen in the first week of April 2014, which is approaching us fast.
All of us try very hard to make something come true, to achieve something for ourselves and for others. Qualifying in IBPS is one such step towards our achievement. It is a test of fire. Passing or failing the exam makes us feel positively or negatively about ourselves. It affects our confidence. It will set the course of iur future life. Most of us also worry about how others, especially family and close ones, might react to this result. A positive result in IBPS will become something to tell about to our friends and relatives.
Well, we understand the feeling and anxiety, when you are waiting for such an important result of your life. People around you might tell you to relax and not worry, trying their best to comfort you but you are the one who will have to believe in yourself.
Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Sachin Tendulkar- all these people have had a real tough times with their academics. What makes them successful? It is their determination and belief in their own abilities.
For starters, what’s done is done. Accept that you have given your exam and you cannot go back in time. Now, what ever is the outcome, you can not make any changes to it. Know your strengths and believe in them. You are bigger than any of the events happening in your life certainly bigger than something as getting into a PSU bank through IBPS.
Although parents and close ones may shout at you, they care more about you than about your result. At the end of the day, YOU are the most important thing in their lives; not your selection into IBPS.
This is what you can consider to keep yourself from going over the edge:
- Talk to yourself to relax – Talk as if you would talk to a 2 year old, in a sweet and lovable manner. “OK! Calm down…you’ll be alright.” – is one of the things you can tell yourself.
- Talk to your friends – Sharing defuses fear. Even if all of you might be sailing in the same boat, talking about how you feel might make you feel better. Some of us can confide in our parents. If the feeling of fear and sadness lasts longer, please consider talking to a counselor. It will not only help you lighten your head but also give you clarity about where you want to head in life.
- Write it down – The Jab We Met technique of writing your fears down on paper and then burning and flushing it.
- Face your fears and then let them go. Accept that you are afraid. Sometimes, crying your fears out also helps. Empty your mind and then you will be able to fill your mind with positive thoughts.
- This too shall pass – Although today seems very tough, 10 years down the line, you will look back and smile at this day. Ask seniors or elders who have been in your position about their experience.
After the results are declared:
- Whatever is the your result in IBPS Exam, do not take it final verdict of your life. If, you get through, you still have to face the challenges of life and if you dont make it, there are still many other options.
- Talk your mind out. Talk to people who make you are comfortable – family or friends.
- There are more than 800 career options available today. There is no reason you have to tread the conventional road.
- You are precious. Hurting yourself in any way will just hurt your close ones- not to mention that it wouldn’t solve anything.
- Pray, focus on good things and move forward. If you have the will, you will make your way!
We wish you all the best for the results. Always, believe that you can only put your best efforts, rest everything will be fine.
