Every single day in your CAT preparation is precious

Every single day in your CAT preparation is precious – Many CAT aspirants often reach out to me with concerns about time management and discipline in their CAT preparation. I always strive to address these concerns in the best possible way, constantly searching for better explanations.

While we all desire to secure a spot in a top B-School, we understand that it is not an overnight process. It requires consistent effort and progress every day, Every single day in your CAT preparation is precious whether it’s a small step, a leap, or even a setback. Each day of your CAT preparation journey holds immense value.

How valuable exactly?

A few years back, my 8-year-old daughter helped me realize this once again. She was tasked with writing a piece on magic or time for her school project. As she chose to combine the two, we worked together to create a poem. Here’s what we came up with:

Magic Bank Game

Wouldn’t it be a delightful surprise
To win a prize every sunrise?
Not just one, or ten, or a hundred
But eighty-six thousand and four hundred

Oh, the fun that we could have
So much to spend without any fee!
But listen closely, I must confess
The game has rules; here’s the address:

Each day, you receive the treasure
And spend every penny without measure
What you save will disappear
As if it was never there, my dear

But fret not, for the next day will come
With the bank account filled, and you’re not done
Not just one, or ten, or a hundred
But eighty-six thousand and four hundred

So, remember to spend wisely and be kind
Have fun while playing, but keep it in mind
For the game could end at any time
And you’re already playing, don’t you find?

This magic of time, every single day
Gives us eighty-six thousand and four hundred seconds to play
To choose and use as we please
Every day, a new opportunity to seize

It’s more than just dollars or cents
This magic bank is our time well-spent
Make the most of your CAT preparation journey
Play this game wisely, and success will be ferny

Lastly, treasure and enjoy this game while you can
For it won’t last forever, my friend.
