Sir, you are the only teacher in India who, leaving aside his personal selfishness, is openly talking about mental health, pressure of government jobs, social pressure, youth wasted in preparing for government jobs, poor education system and is urging the young generation to think something new, beyond the narrow thinking of government jobs.
Students ye baat agar samajh bhi lete hain to bhi family, friends, society still views them as failures and keeps reminding them time and again. Still it's important to understand it yourself and not let anybody else decide whether your life is 'successful'.
This is such an important perspective to not call yourself a failure, just because you did not qualify for an exam. Just by looking at the number of seats and number of applicants, there's only a minor probability that you will be selected, even if you study 10+ hours every day.
Finally my thoughts got words...... Jaisa mein sochti hu waisa he sir ne kaha........... Yes plan B hona bahoot jaruri hai.. Mein koi exam pass nahi kar paayi....learnt ki meri kaha jarurat hai...mujhe mujh mein kaha kaaam karna hai Daily fail hoti hu daily sucess milta hai daily learn karti hu Thankyou soo much Sir for showing that i am on right pathway 👍🏼
Wow... Thank you sir for taking up such issues. After 6 attempts, 4 mains, 1 Interview I have now realized UPSC isn't all about hardwork. Now looking for Plan B... But mental, emotional, etc. challenges are too many...

in our country most of people prepared for government exams in compulsion to show as a successful person because in our society acknowledge success if person have in government job😕😕
Thank you Sir. This video was so enlightening and inspiring and it gave me a different perspective to see the "success" and "failure". And above all to see the reality of life.
Kis ko samjainge wo serial dekha hai kyuki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi aage chalkar aap log bhi parents banenge kabhi to aap bhi usi sammaj ka hissa honge change starts with you😂😂😂.
Failure is the pillars of success. Just don't give up. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said- See the movies in which one fails, because it gives you the ideas of how to succeed by seeing the causes of one's failure. Still miss him.
Our society is clearly not going to accept whatever you explained. We are the youth of India who pursue their career goal not because of what we like but because of what society likes.
मैंने इस बार स्नातक की पास की है और इस बार BPSC first attempt दी हूं। प्रश्नों को analysis करने के बाद ऐसा लग रहा है कि इस बार मेरा cutt off से नीचे है और नहीं होगा । मेरे परिवार में सब बार बार पूछ रहे हैं निकल जाएगा ना, मेरा उतरा हुआ चेहरा देख कर मेरी मां कह रही है कि तुमसे कुछ नहीं होगा। ये शब्द मुझे इतना ज्यादा निराश करता है कि सब कुछ छोड़ देने का मन करता है। तो दरअसल हम अपनों से ही ज्यादा हताश होते हैं और मुझे लग रहा कि मैं सफलता के बहुत करीब हूं और इस यात्रा में मैं बहुत कुछ सीखी हूं अगर मैं तैयारी नहीं करती तो मैं बिल्कुल ऐसी नहीं होती। और थोड़ी और मेहनत की जरूरत तो शायद next attempt me ho jaye 😊
Mere parents to ye nahi kbhi puchhe ki pass ho jaogi blki hmesha unhone kaha hai ki koi baat nahi is baar nahi hoga to fir se mehnat karna kbhi har Mt manna hm sath hai log bhi agar kuchh kahe to unke bato ko dhyan nahi dena hai Tah dil se sukriya 🙏🏽❣️🙏🏽 mere parents ko But mujhe 2025 me safal jarur hona hai apne mata pita ke lie
Great message sir, I have enjoyed a lot the journey of CSS in Pakistan though I got failed three times. Onwards, I will think as I m not a failure but passed through a journey in which I learned a lot and enjoyed a lot irrespective of ultimate gain.
I gave 4 nda and 2 cds i could not clear screening process . I gave chsl ,selection phase I could not qualify .still I m happy because I believe in Destiny . I m to give cgl mains 2025.
Thank you so much sir.... Vese toh aaj tak soch sochkar 90% tak conclusion par m khud hi pahunch chuki thi lekin aapke video ne aur bhi clear kar diya ki I'm not a failure but I'm living a successful journey of my life

Just have little view, what do you mean by "Tumara decision Biyaktigat nehi hei!" With help of these two theories Weber's Social Action: Any action becomes social when it considers the behavior of others and is oriented accordingly. For example, waving to someone is a social action because it is meant to communicate friendliness. Social Action: Weber classified social actions into four categories based on the meanings individuals attach to them: Instrumental Rational Action (Zweckrational): Actions guided by goal-oriented rationality. For example, studying to pass an exam. Value Rational Action (Wertrational): Actions motivated by belief in a value, regardless of its consequences. For instance, fasting for religious reasons. Affective Action: Actions driven by emotions or feelings, like crying at a funeral. Traditional Action: Actions guided by customs or habitual practices, such as greeting someone with a handshake. Interpretive Understanding (Verstehen): Weber emphasized the need to understand the subjective meanings behind actions. This interpretive approach, called "Verstehen," involves empathizing with individuals to grasp the motivations behind their behavior. Rationalization of Society: Weber argued that modern societies are increasingly dominated by rational actions, especially instrumental rationality, which often replaces traditional and affective actions. This process, termed rationalization, is evident in bureaucracies and industrial capitalism. Individual Agency: Unlike structural theories that emphasize overarching social forces, Weber’s Action Theory highlights the role of individual choice and agency in shaping society. And Durkheim's Social Facts: External: They exist outside of the individual and are independent of personal choices (e.g., laws, traditions, norms). Constraining: They exert control over individuals, often guiding or limiting behavior (e.g., social expectations). Collective: They arise from collective agreement and are shared by members of a society (e.g., language, moral codes). Types of Social Facts: Material Social Facts: Tangible and observable aspects of society, such as institutions, legal systems, and architecture. Non-Material Social Facts: Intangible aspects like values, norms, morality, and collective consciousness. Characteristics of Social Facts: They are general: They apply to all or most members of society. They are coercive: They influence individual behavior, often without explicit awareness. They are objective: They exist independently of individual perceptions or beliefs. Examples of Social Facts: Language: Exists before and beyond any individual speaker, with rules that must be followed. Legal Systems: Laws regulate behavior and enforce norms. Religion: Shapes moral beliefs and collective identity. Economic Systems: Dictate patterns of work, trade, and consumption.

The greatest success is to live a healthy and satisfied life without comparing with others.
Indian parents will need more 50 years to understand this 😢
And the fun fact is you will always be compared with others by others
@justanotherguy625 if you are satisfied with yourself and if others compare also that comparison is illogical.
That's why it is important to have a work-life balance and I strongly believe that it is as important to enjoy as much to do your work.
No

Then you should not try for these competition exams. 😕

I Quote here UPSC Mains essay tagline " There is no Path to Hapiness, Hapiness is the path".
Students ye baat agar samajh bhi lete hain to bhi family, friends, society still views them as failures and keeps reminding them time and again. Still it's important to understand it yourself and not let anybody else decide whether your life is 'successful'.
If you don't get good job - no body respects in society.
This is also reality. 👍
This is called actual educated person.......Thank you sir

True, I guess in the long run that's what actually matters daily grind with its ups and downs with satisfaction with oneself at the end.

With help of these two theories
Weber's Social Action:
Any action becomes social when it considers the behavior of others and is oriented accordingly. For example, waving to someone is a social action because it is meant to communicate friendliness.
Social Action:
Weber classified social actions into four categories based on the meanings individuals attach to them:
Instrumental Rational Action (Zweckrational): Actions guided by goal-oriented rationality. For example, studying to pass an exam.
Value Rational Action (Wertrational): Actions motivated by belief in a value, regardless of its consequences. For instance, fasting for religious reasons.
Affective Action: Actions driven by emotions or feelings, like crying at a funeral.
Traditional Action: Actions guided by customs or habitual practices, such as greeting someone with a handshake.
Interpretive Understanding (Verstehen):
Weber emphasized the need to understand the subjective meanings behind actions. This interpretive approach, called "Verstehen," involves empathizing with individuals to grasp the motivations behind their behavior.
Rationalization of Society:
Weber argued that modern societies are increasingly dominated by rational actions, especially instrumental rationality, which often replaces traditional and affective actions. This process, termed rationalization, is evident in bureaucracies and industrial capitalism.
Individual Agency:
Unlike structural theories that emphasize overarching social forces, Weber’s Action Theory highlights the role of individual choice and agency in shaping society.
And
Durkheim's Social Facts:
External: They exist outside of the individual and are independent of personal choices (e.g., laws, traditions, norms).
Constraining: They exert control over individuals, often guiding or limiting behavior (e.g., social expectations).
Collective: They arise from collective agreement and are shared by members of a society (e.g., language, moral codes).
Types of Social Facts:
Material Social Facts: Tangible and observable aspects of society, such as institutions, legal systems, and architecture.
Non-Material Social Facts: Intangible aspects like values, norms, morality, and collective consciousness.
Characteristics of Social Facts:
They are general: They apply to all or most members of society.
They are coercive: They influence individual behavior, often without explicit awareness.
They are objective: They exist independently of individual perceptions or beliefs.
Examples of Social Facts:
Language: Exists before and beyond any individual speaker, with rules that must be followed.
Legal Systems: Laws regulate behavior and enforce norms.
Religion: Shapes moral beliefs and collective identity.
Economic Systems: Dictate patterns of work, trade, and consumption.
