#UPSCPrelimResult2023
It's a thread for those who couldn't clear #Prelims even after ≥2nd GOOD attempt.
-----------
"लगातार कोशिश करते रहो, सफलता जरूर मिलेगी"
Such lines sound good in Motivational videos, but may be disastrous for the life of many #UPSC aspirants.

I know a lot of "erstwhile" aspirants who invested their entire youth (20s & early 30s) in #UPSC preparation, but were left empty-handed after exhausting their age/attempts. Thus, destroying their potentials.
So, realising when to quit this exam is extremely critical.

3 thoughts which prevent aspirants from taking such decision:
💭1. Gambler's Fallacy: "I've invested time & energy for this exam, & have accumulated so much Knowledge. It will all get wasted if I quit. I cannot fail everytime. Better to try once more, probably i will succeed."

Suggestion: Decide rationally if you've decent probably of clearing all 3 stages, based upon multiple factors:
* previous attempt performance
* present preparation level
* mock test marks
* finances
* family support
* category, etc
Think about huge Opportunity Cost also.

💭2. Social stress & Ego:
"लोग क्या सोचेंगे, कि मैंने हार मान ली, कि मेरे बस की ही नहीं थी ... "
"ये तो मेरे माता पिता का सपना था ... And, it's my responsibility to fulfill my parents' dreams"
"एक बार जो मैंने कमिटमेंट कर दी ..."

Suggestion:
There is no shame in Retreating Back.
Even Lord Krishna had to run away from battlefield once. इसलिए भगवान श्री कृष्ण को "रणछोड़" नाम से भी जाना जाता है।
और, हम तो इंसान हैं 🙂
So, one can make Wise Strategic Exit, after a rational analysis.

💭3. "I want all that Fame/Glory/Power which Civil Services provide, at any personal cost. I will keep on trying to achieve it, till my last breath."

Suggestion:
Undoubtedly, Civil Services are good. But, they aren't that great which many coaching institutes or चार लोग portray.
Their ➕ are over-glorified, ➖ are rarely told.
So, make Informed Decisions. Serving officers won't reveal much😅, so talk to retired ones.

All the Best for the Life ahead 🙂👍
I hope some good coaching institutes & mentors also highlight these practical aspects in 1-2 sessions. Moreover, a Career Counseling session briefing about Alternate Career Plans/Options should also be conducted.
