I guarantee you almost everything is free to learn in this world; however, I don't guarantee you'll be able to learn it. Fees are for the platforms, connections, and systems, not for the knowledge itself. I provide you the “system” to reach certain platforms and build certain connections. Making the best use of it is up to you!
You can buy a Rs 1 lakh course and still not study, or join three test series and still not attempt any of them. Once you start taking Group Rules seriously, you'll be a new person. I won't act like your dad and scold you or threaten to remove you; you're an adult now. It's been a few months—enough time to blend in properly. Those who are consistent know its importance.
One interesting fact I want to tell you:
The most brilliant students, or say the academically exceptional students... Such students join the best coaching, study more than they need—more than the majority. They take the best guidance and boost their preparation. And you think you'll win by doing the bare minimum and just tracking daily study hours?
Someone already better than you thinks they have to get the best guidance, train the hardest, and outwork themselves and others in order to get selected! The difference between you and them is: they don't operate with “Ego.”
If you think you're already smart and can do it with lesser effort, you've already lost. Because someone already better than you thinks the opposite and trains harder than you! If your opponent and you have the same skill set, and your opponent is 0.01% faster than you, you'll lose every single time. And vice versa.
For my words to make sense to you, you need to keep your ego away while reading.
When you sit in a placement drive, you'll realize you have to be better than others in your skill set or be really charming. Even if you get a decent rank under 1500, you can marvel! But to do that you need to burn; for that, you need to be brave. Acting like you're not scared even when you are scared—that IS bravery.
People with chronic health conditions and trash backgrounds have aced GATE!
Interesting Fact: A majority of top performers are just average students who worked hard, improved themselves, and were passionate about their subjects.
Once you reach a Tier 1 college, you'll see everyone is better than you—an even more competitive environment. They are not just gifted, but individuals who have evolved themselves via training. To compete with them, you at least need to be very efficient and conscientious1.
Succeeding with high conscientiousness1 is hard. Succeeding without high conscientiousness1 is impossible.
Same goes for physical health and energy levels. “Have a positive mindset” is bullshit advice; you'll feel like trash if your blood is trash. If you have healthy blood and good hormones, you'll feel effortlessly positive and energetic.
Your Best Move
Ask AI to summarize this letter and follow it “religiously.”
Notes on Essential Imperatives:
- Energy levels
- Cognitive performance
- Conscientiousness
If you ask AI how to achieve the above three, it will tell you generic things and you'll be lost again. So here is the spell:
I. Energy
Good diet, moderate exercise (not light; do heavy if possible), and proper sleep. Get your blood work done in a lab; refill what you lack.
Add-ons:
- Coffee (do research or ask me directly)
- Music (if needed)
- Hydration (keep water near)
- Morning sunlight
II. Cognitive Performance
If you're someone who can't focus because you've scrolled too much, I suggest you shift to films, short films, or longer videos. It will help you stay focused for longer durations; you'll adapt soon. Then substitute it with lectures. If you get the urge to scroll, watch longer duration videos instead.
Now that you've built your focus, you'll be able to study subjects for a longer duration. One way to not get bored is to write with a pen—not saying make full notes, just keep noting certain things and do calculations when a question is discussed. Now you know how to keep going during lectures.
Now comes the saturation part. Your mind will saturate if you study for too long, even with short breaks. That's because your brain is bored. If I recall what I once read in a random tiny book: to avoid getting saturated, you need to switch subjects or topics instead of calling it a day. It works like a charm if you're struggling with saturation, though some people can keep going on the same topic, as everyone has different wiring.

III. Conscientiousness
To increase it, you need to understand the concept of inertia. There are numerous other ways, but at this moment, only inertia is in my mind...
Inertia, as you already know, is not just for physical objects—it applies to our brains too.
“You'll be doing more and more of what you start doing, and keep going until retardation.”
Here, you need to overcome static friction—i.e., starting forcefully or willingly. Remember, overcoming static friction requires more force than kinetic friction. In other words: starting is tougher than keeping going.
Then, to sustain, you need a driving force, for which you need energy. You'll be retarded naturally, so no need to worry about that.
For cognitive enhancement, someone will suggest you play chess or engage in cerebral exercises. DON'T INDULGE IN THAT. You won't be increasing your IQ anyways. All you'll develop is critical and analytical thinking specific to that game. Put all of your work into your subjects—think about them only. If you give your energy to chess or stupid brain games, you'll become good at them and still suck at your subject. You need the opposite.
Final Words
“You will not lose due to lack of potential; you will lose by not trying because you thought you were not enough.”
People with half your IQ are earning 10 times more than people who are smarter than you. Note it. No one knows everything; every master was once a beginner. All it takes is BRAVERY and the delusion that you'll win.
The times of being average and having a peaceful life are over. Shoot for the stars; even if you fall, you'll land much higher.
So if you're searching for “The Secret” or something that you need to know, it simply doesn't exist—because knowing doesn't guarantee winning. You can work hard and still fail. But if you don't work hard, you are a failure already!
Failure is the RULE; success is the exception. Not the other way around.
If you've read this far, I wish you a very bright future. If you don't understand any point or want more clarity, just DM—but know what you're asking before you do.
Wish you a very bright future.
Yours truly,
