00:00 Most people excel only when that excellence leads to capital gains.
00:05 Only when that excellence leads to monetary benefits.
00:08 And that's why so many people stop studying the moment they enter NIT or NIM.
00:14 Or they at least are not at their best.
00:17 That is because you know, it's not studies fundamentally or books fundamentally or knowledge fundamentally that attracted them.
00:23 What attracted them was the prospect of plumb placements.
00:27 The moment that placement is assured or obtained, the fire dies down.
00:31 So that should not be there.
00:32 Remain the same person throughout your life.
00:35 The same person that had not yet cleared the JEE but was raring to clear the JEE.
00:41 The same person who was printing and putting in 10, 12, 16 hours a day.
00:46 That you cannot do if you are studying for the sake of money.
00:50 Because money will come.
00:51 And once money comes, then you will be easily satisfied.
00:54 Therefore you must have a very very high purpose in life.
