My Exam Story: Reflections of a Confused Student

In summary, the conversation is about a student who recently took competitive exams in India and received mixed results. They did well in one exam, but were waitlisted for another and not selected for a third. The student is feeling confused and unsure about their abilities, but others are telling them to have more self confidence and focus on their strengths. The conversation concludes with a story about how people often judge others based on their own abilities.

I don't know your "performance on PF",numbers don't show you among "la crème de la crème",i'd say you just need more self confidence and clear head (i hope you're not drinking :tongue2:) to realize where you are,to feel your level and your weaknesses and stop asking others to judge you.

Oscillating results are due to lack of self confidence and mind not focused enough.

I agree with dextercioby (too long username).Everyone knows himself/herself better than the others.You're exactly the one you think.And if you love sth, for sure you can be successful in it.
you know that remindes of astory when people try to ask others about their abilities and the conclusion of story is that "everyone comment on things base on his /her abilities".if they are capable to do sth,they think you're capable as well.
