00:00Most people excel only when that excellence leads to capital gains, only when that excellence
00:07leads to monetary benefits.
00:08And that's why so many people stop studying the moment they enter NIT or NIM or they at
00:15least are not at their best.
00:17That is because, you know, it's not studies fundamentally or books fundamentally or knowledge
00:21fundamentally that attracted them.
00:23What attracted them was the prospect of plumb placements.
00:27The moment that placement is assured or obtained, the fire dies down, so that should not be
00:32there.
00:33Remain the same person throughout your life, the same person that had not yet cleared the
00:37JEE but was raring to clear the JEE.
00:41The same person who was printing and putting in 10, 12, 16 hours a day.
00:46That you cannot do if you are studying for the sake of money because money will come
00:50and once money comes, then you will be easily satisfied, therefore you must have a very
00:55very high purpose in life.
