Why does one want to be an IAS?

A general thought of an IAS aspirant – “I will change the planet, but not today, tomorrow”!

If there was ever a UPSC CSE Starter kit, it might include a few thousand advice for IAS aspirants, an inventory of books out of which just some are getting to be touched and few cliche questions and their equally cliched answer. Among these entire questions, one holds the foremost weight. That question is, “Why does one want to be an IAS?”

Everyone who is an experienced aspirant will always ask a replacement IAS aspirant to try two main things, First is read, understand and if required, cram the syllabus and therefore the second is, knowing why can we want to be an IAS or an official rather. The answers received are varied responses, which range from “I want the respect which comes with it” to “I want to serve the state from grassroots.”

It is now a widely accepted incontrovertible fact that touch more than 99% of the IAS aspirant taking UPSC CSE exams are getting to fail. Of course, the extent of preparation of each candidate goes to vary. the opposite factor which keeps us from getting there's procrastination.

This is a stimulating dichotomy here. On one hand, we would like to serve the state, change the planet, and whatnot. But while striving to succeed in there, we are procrastinating?

I started thinking over this conflict in one of my procrastination spree. While introspecting myself I arrived at least one great conclusion. the rationale of procrastination is my Misplaced Motivation. While we ask ourselves that why are we getting to be a top bureaucrat, we should always also ask ourselves, is my motivation misplaced? Why do I actually want to be an IAS? Also, for once please be honest with yourself. Don’t sugarcoat your own answer to yourself. Be brutally honest and tell yourself the reality. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this exercise.

Mother Nature through the method of evolution gave us many tools in our survival instincts database, one of the foremost dangerous and self-destructive among them is lying. It is often argued that lies are often good when lied to others. The destruction quotient of lying goes up much higher once we mislead one of the foremost influential people in our universe, ourselves. Now couple this with Procrastination and voila, we've got ourselves a nuclear bomb of our own.

While deciding to organize for UPSC CSE, we've shown that we will be brave. We aren't scared of starting with a fresh start again. it's really hurting to ascertain one among us fail simply because our motivation was misplaced and that we procrastinated. Brave people like us, need to achieve great heights, but that doesn’t mean we are entitled to be there simply because we were brave. we'll need to fight for it. it's a brutal world out there and only the fittest will survive. All we've to try to do is stay up and begin doing what's right.

PS: Before everyone starts bashing me, I might wish to inform you that I'm your fellow aspirant and procrastinator. Let me know if you would like me to write down how I'm battling procrastination.
