My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)

The time you spend in an SSB is going to be golden time of your life. You will never forget the
things you did here and the friends you made hence enjoy it and make the best of it. SSB is like
a game where you can win only by remaining truthful and honest. I have seen deserving
candidates not being selected just because of a bad and quarrelsome group. Candidates
shouting in GD’s and fighting over ballis and ropes in PGT can never make it through.
Remember you are in SSB to become an Officer so behave like one!

There is No Greater Time to Act Rightly than

the Present

This article I’m writing down not to provide any tricks or mantra to crack ssb but just to boost up our
readers who never want to give up on failures. Guys, the present alone is the only time when we can
Work and Achieve, Gain and Gather, Give and Share. In the past we can now do nothing; in the
future, again, we can now accomplish nothing. These living dynamic present moments are the only
fields to be hammered at and wherein are all the glories of life, all the gains in existence. From the
future, time floods over our standing in the present, and gushes out to swirl with the continuous
echoes of the past. Delays are always dangerous, useless, and barren. Today is the only day to
attempt any great and worthy purpose. Opportunity comes to all of us, the diligent catch hold of it;
foolish let it pass.

Let not fear of failure or fear of obstacles that might come, slow you down even a bit. Don’t worry
about whether you are better than somebody else or not but keep giving your best. Success is
peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become
the best of which you are capable.
