Couldn't complete June 25 goals

So the goal for yesterday was to give 5 speed tests for SBI PO exam and to design a registration form for my upcoming app but I was only able to give 1 speed test and I didn't work on my app at all.

Yesterday I got a new router from Digisol and I was trying to setup a repeater for it and that wasted all my day. It was a tiring process. It was not as simple as setting up a repeater for my TP Link router. Digisol is an Indian company and I knew even while purchasing that the router is going to give me headache as it's a made in India product but yet I bought it because it has a USB port that is needed to create a FTP server.

To setup a repeater is important because the range of the Digisol router is limited and it couldn't cover our entire home and when I have another powerful router in my home available, it will be foolish to not use it. But the time it is taking to setup a repeater is worrying me.

Today I'll try to give 4 speed tests and instead of designing a registration and login form, I'll try to learn how to make a RESTful api with python. For python I am using Django framework. I can do that easily with PHP but lately I have figured out that Python is much better and much more interesting than PHP. And since I want to use Artificial intelligence in the future with my app, it's better than I start working on Python. 

Goals for June 25

So today's goal is to give 5 speed test for my SBI PO 2018 Pre exam which is to be held on July 1st. Apart from 5 speed test I also have to develop a registration page for my app.

So I want to talk a little bit about my app. Till now I have developed and scrapped the registration system multiple times.

The first time I thought I will register users normally with a registration form where I'd ask for personal details and email address but then I dismissed that plan as I want to make the registration process as simple as possible for users.

Then I thought that I'll use other authentication services like Google and Facebook but then I gave up that plan too as I want greater control over my app.

Now I have decided to register users with phone number and make a very simple registration process. And most probably I will stick with it.

I was little confused between whether I should choose email or phone number for registration. I think that phone number is better even if I have to pay for using that service.

Starting work on a new business

Bank preparation took alot from me and yielded nothing. I had given 3 years of my life, gave up my established business but the end result was a big failure.

Not all people are born equal in all fields. Just because others with similar intellect have been able to clear bank exams it doesn't mean that I'll be able to do that as well.

Even while starting my preparation for bank exams 3 years ago I had rightly analysed my problems. Firstly I can't mug up information and so I had inherent disadvantage in general awareness section. Secondly I have always been slow in calculation and so to score good in Quantitative analysis was also difficult. But still I decided to give it a try because I had an advantage in English section of banking exams.

The advantage in English section has always worked in my favour in preliminary exams but in mains it's not enough.

I think in year 2014 it was much easier to clear banking exams than what it is today. It was my mistake that I didn't put in enough time and effort, nor any interest in this field. I was preparing for Gate exam and was also trying to expand my business. But unfortunately neither I was able to get into IITs nor the expansion of business worked. And I know the reason why business expansion failed. When the world was shifting towards mobile application I was developing a social networking website. That was a terrible idea. Had I worked in mobile applications things would have been different. Anyway back to banking exam topic.

So on those days there were only one exam followed by an interview. And the level of exams were quite easy if we compare that to what it is today. But I remember that I used to solve only 30-40 questions in 2 hours time and that obviously was not sufficient to crack the exam. I have definitely improved a lot over the years but the toughness of exam has also increased and so the net result is still the same.

So I always wanted to have a business and be my own boss but I still agreed to prepare for government job as I thought that it will give me financial security which will enable me to take greater risk in life for my business.

But now after so many years of wasted life and the total collapse of my business, the time has come that I give up my unfruitful chase of government job and focus again to build a business, this time bigger, more profitable, scalable and stable business. In other words I have to setup a company and make it big.

Today I have appeared for SBI clerk preliminary exam and like always I think I'll be able to clear preliminary exam this time as well. On July 1st I have to appear for SBI PO pre and most probably I will be able to clear that too. Then on 15th July I have to appear for SSC CHSL Tier II exams where I'll have to write an essay and a letter. If I will be able to clear preliminary exams on SBI clerk and SBI PO then I'll have to prepare for their mains as well. And then afterwards I will have to dedicate myself towards establishing my company.

But in the mean time I will have to repeat this again and again in every post, every night that I have to form a company so that my goals can become very clear and not get shadowed with all the distractions of all these exams. And I think if I invest enough time and effort towards making a company and if I have a clear goal I can do it. I have the required skills and also I am good at learning new skills. Things are quite in my favor. The only thing I need is to have some courage to go head in this new journey and believe that the future will be bright.
