My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)

Attitude of looking at situations and reacting to them also determines how well you do and achieve

things. People look dreams and do not work accordingly. They think everything is easy to achieve,
but they are far from reality. In course of time when they lose then only they realise how much work

was needed and how much they did. If they might have filled this gap success would always be
theirs. So I believe every individual who dreams to clear SSB has the capability, but what misses is
the motivation to work and the attitude to perform. The panellist at SSB is a group of experts who
has the capability to judge with the blink of an eye. They are trained professionally and that’s why

who are selected is different from the world.
Please remember:

“My life is a constant battle of wanting to be alone and not wanting to be lonely”

Life is a battle and you should fight it bravely. Once you inculcate these qualities, I think no one can
stop you clearing the SSB as it is the only exam which judges you on various parameters for five
days and then selects you. It’s the beauty of this exam that wrong is caught and punished. The exam
is so pure that only the deserving candidates cross it. You are also the one, but believe in your

efforts and keep trying... Rest for any help related to the matter feel free to ping me.

How to Cultivate Qualities of Leadership for

SSB Interview

Dear Aspirants, to get through the SSB Interview is not an easy job. The candidate is cross
examined by three experienced persons. The armed force life requires both brain and brawn. The
candidates must essentially possess qualities of leadership. In the armed forces, sleepy, shy officers
are not required. They should be such that they can lead their men successfully in time of

emergency.
They should possess presence of mind and quickness of decision. The armed forces thus call for a

high degree of leadership. We should cultivate these qualities of leadership when we are studying in
colleges or in schools. Friends, here I have numerated some essential qualities that you must try to
cultivate in order to become a successful leader.

o Quickness of Mind
o Straight forwardness
o Practical intelligence

o Self-confidence
o Alertness
o Sociability

o Team-spirit and co-operation
o Optimism
