nature will help us and will bring about
necessary circumstantial evidences that
do not disturb our studies. In this way
you can virtually finish studies in a span
of 2 to 3 hours which would otherwise
require 7 to 8 hours, thereby saving at
least 5 hours. Once a decision has been
taken it has a lot of power, so one should
firmly decide everything and once
decided should not waiver from that
decision. Suppose you have decided to
study for an hour or two, the duration
may be as per your desire but once
decided you should remain sincere to it.
You may decide to relax for 20 minutes
after studying for one hour. In that case
you may do so. Relax for 20 minutes, but
be sincere to that particular time
duration marked for studies. This way
the mind will be pleased and will stay at
ease and you will get strength to study
for more hours. Firmly deciding gives a
lot of power and that too the positive
kind. Then if a friend comes along and
disturbs us and we have 40 minutes left
for completion we must be firm & tell
him “Not now please. Let me complete
my studies.'' Don't get up midway and
stick to your schedule. By doing so you
will get all the necessary help from
nature. Do you understand?

decided we remain aware
constantly.

decision, we should try again
and again. Negative thoughts
such as 'I can't d
