Motivational : He Conquers who Endures.

Life is mean, life is difficult, life is hard but one who lasts will make it worth living. There is sacrifice, hard work to live a life of your dreams. One who endures all difficulties conquers his battle of life. It is not about talent or hard luck, its all about patience and hard work. Life will throw you in an ocean of atrocities, but if you choose not to succumb, you will conquer the ocean. Life was never simple for all those who are successful today. It was only their iron will to not to give up, that made them what they are today.

We all are different and we all have different dreams. The facilities with us may also differ, but remember we have ample of stories of people who started from zero and achieved high levels in their lives. If you have nothing with you but have the zeal to succeed, then no obstacle can stop you from reaching your goals. Counting starts from 0 and many have started their journey from this zero and converted it into 100’s. Many of you may have various facilities to start your goals. Then if you already have 1, 2, 3 , 4…..etc in the counting, then there should be no excuse. You should focus on increasing your level day by day and never look back. There should be no space for excuses in your life. If you want to do it, do it till the end.

You will have to face many hardships, you will have to sacrifice a lot but if you endure all the sufferings, you will conquer the greatest things in life. Don’t loose hope at any phase of your struggle, because at the extra mile there are no obstacles, you cannot loose hope in that extra mile.

Even if you fall, rise again with more potential and complete the race. Believe in yourself and focus on becoming a winner in life. Conquer all atrocities and rise higher and higher in life.


Sucess Story: Pain is Temporary, Quitting lasts Forever: Bharat Singh Bana (SBI PO)

I am Bharat Singh Bana, a B.Tech. in 2012 in Computer Science and Engineering. I have also worked for an MNC at Gurgaon. I had decided to prepare for Banking exam alongside but I was lagging behind by fine margins. I was exhausted both emotionally and physically. Due to a decrease in the number of vacancies and increase in the level of exams every year, the competition got tougher and tougher and I was left wondering why my hard work was not being transformed into success. But I never let the frustration overtake my enthusiasm. After every failure, I was more determined to work hard. Failure can never overtake someone if his determination to succeed is strong enough. You don't lose when you fall, you lose when you decide not to get up.

I have been appearing in competitive exams from last four years and I have failed a countless number of times. After failing in seven interviews I was still not dejected and I decided to give more effort for the 8th time. Remember that only you need to believe in yourself and others' opinion about your ability and capability does not matter. Whenever you feel anxious always go back to the basics and relax.

Don't fear the failure. Every success story is incomplete without the mentions of the failures which we encountered during our journey to success. I also failed many times in my life. But, I tried to learn from my failures and didn't make the same mistakes twice. Learning from our failures or mistakes is the key in every aspect of life.

Every human being has his own challenges. There is no full proof formula for achieving success, every individual has to work according to his strengths or weaknesses. Self-analysis is important. Remember this : You can be disappointed but not defeated; You can be cornered but not a coward. Grit your partner, courage your pride...... for, you must fight, you must fight......

My performance in various exams are as follows:

IBPS PO 2013 : Appeared in Interview


BOB PGDBF PO 2014 : Appeared in Interview

IDBI PGDBF PO 2014 : Appeared in Interview

IBPS SO 2015 : Appeared in Interview

SBI PO 2016 : Appeared in Interview


SBI PO 2017 : Selected (Finally)

Thanking You,

Know how the Trump-Kim Summit took place The historical Trump-Kim summit meeting was the first of its kind between a sitting American president Donald Trump and a leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un. It’s been a rather long journey of mistrust, war and skirmishes that finally culminated in the historic summit in Singapore. Let us take a brief look at the recent events that finally lead to the signing of the agreement. After an unusually provocative 2017 during which North Korea tested a thermonuclear warhead and three intercontinental ballistic missiles, Kim Jong Un initiates diplomacy in his annual New Year address. He called for improved relations and engagement with South Korea but added he has a nuclear button on his desk.Trump responded that he has a bigger and more powerful nuclear button adding "And my Button works". North and South Korean officials meet at a border village and agree on North Korea sending athletes and delegates to the Winter Olympics in the South. In March 2018, South Korean envoys meet Trump in Washington and delivered an invitation from Kim to meet. Trump accepted the invitation. Trump confirmed that Mike Pompeo, then the CIA chief, had met Kim secretly in North Korea and said "a good


relationship was formed" heading into the anticipated summit. North Korea suspended nuclear and Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) tests and planned to close its nuclear test site as part of a shift in its national focus to developing its economy. Pompeo, US Secretary of State, made another visit to Pyongyang to prepare for the Trump-Kim summit. North Korea released three Americans who had been imprisoned. In May 2018, Trump announced he will meet with Kim in Singapore on June 12. After few days, North Korea abruptly cancelled a high-level meeting with the South and threatened to cancel the Summit with Trump too in protest over U.S.-South Korean military exercises and U.S. commented that the North should follow the "Libya model" of denuclearization by eliminating everything upfront. North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol, the most senior North Korean official visited the United States. He arrived in New York for pre-summit negotiations with Pompeo. After meeting Kim Yong Chol at the White House, Trump announced that his meeting with Kim Jong Un is back on for June 12. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted that the Trump-Kim meeting will be held at Singapore's Capella Hotel. Trump and Kim arrive in Singapore for the first meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader on 12th of June. The Outcome of Kim-Trump Summit- US president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Unsigned a document pledging to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in return for US providing security guarantees to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
