My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)

o Adaptability: Every group member has to adapt himself in such a way that he becomes an
active participant in the activities of the group and strives only for the achievement of his group
above his personal achievements.

o Constructive Approach: Every group member should cultivate the habit of constructive
thinking and co-operation.
o Ability to convince: A person should possess the ability to convince and persuade the group

with his power of voice. If you lack this quality, then it is better to be a worthy follower in the
group than trying to become a leader.
o Physical fitness and will power: You should possess physical fitness and stamina to bear

the stress of the activities of the group. A weak person will cease to be an active member of the
group. Also, a group member should never lack will power and self – control.
o Faith and hard work: A group member should realize dignity of labor. He must be dashing

and daring to undertake any sort of job entrusted to him by the group. He should improve his
practical intelligence, professional efficiency and ability to do his job effectively.
o Leadership: In a need, every group member should be able to provide a leadership to his

group. In a military operation, if the commander is injured, the next senior officer takes over the
command .In the same way, you should be able to provide a right direction to the group if they
are caught in a difficulty and must put forward constructive suggestions.

o Spirit of Appreciation: You should appreciate valuable, constructive suggestions put forth by
others and must have the courage to admit your mistakes. This quality helps you to be a

faithful, dependable member of your group.
o In short, show maximum spirit of “Spirit-de-Corps” and co-operation and have a logical way of
thinking and reasoning.
If you are able to possess or cultivate these qualities in yourself, then you will be able to be worthy

member of your group.
