Dearest Students,
I am a firm believer in going back to basics and concepts whenever I find things getting complicated. Whether it is solving a complex maths problem or understanding financial management or simply clearing a misunderstanding with someone, going back to basics, and clearing my concepts has always helped me arrive at the solutions.

Students should never feel inferior if they are lagging in their studies. There should be no hesitation in admitting to ourselves and to our teachers that we need to go back to basics and re-learn, re-fresh our old knowledge. A smart student will always accept his current level, identify where he/she is lacking and start working (studying) from thereon. What is the point of going on constructing floors above floors of a building that does not have a strong foundation? Similarly, there is no point in trying to learn something of a higher level when our basic concepts related to it are still not clear. So, always go back to basics, make your foundation extremely strong, don’t hesitate to open your two years old textbooks and start reading from there. The single biggest and most common trait of students getting selected for IITs and premium colleges is that they are very strong in fundamentals and concepts and know-how to apply them. The second trait is, of course, continuous efforts. There is no other alternative for persistent efforts.

Let’s keep learning and moving forward everyday!
