Question : Mental Constraints.

Answer :

Here are a few changes a candidate goes through:

• He starts to respect the exam and the process set by UPSC.
• He becomes more aware and passionate about the wrongs that are happening around him.
• He starts understanding the value of patience and accepts short term defeats.
• However, not all changes are positive. Many people also become extremely critical of the selected candidates and start finding flaws in their achievements.
• They start thinking about themselves as experts in CSE and dish out useless advice to people.
• Desperation, day dreaming, regrets are also some of the changes that often take place.
• Your thinking process changes, you develop an opinion for almost everything.
• You become an educated, aware, responsible citizen of the country.
• You literally start taking care of your health, your wellbeing, and your surroundings.
• You learn to say NO more often as the preparation requires sacrifices.
• The things which never bothered, like teenagers smoking in a society park or men standing in women’s coach of the daily metro do bother now and you learn to raise your voice.
• You can talk to people (sensible discussions) of any age group (10–80).
• You get to know how much power you as an individual possess just by knowing your rights.
