Dear friend,
Thank you for investing in this book.
This book includes practical methods to make education and examination easy for you. These methods have worked for many students and will work for you too.
When I was a student years ago, I had failed in an exam. Then accidentally, I used just one method—looking at my ‘target-score’ daily until I achieved it. This single method transformed me from a failure into a successful student. Then onwards, I passed every exam with top grades.
—B. K. Narayan
This proves that even a single idea or strategy, if followed consistently, can transform a student’s performance and direction in life.
Can you imagine what happens when you apply a whole set of powerful methods given in this book? These techniques have transformed under-performers into top performers.
Now is your turn.
Till 7th standard I was an average student. Then, luckily, my parents introduced me to Mind Programming and better study techniques. Ever since, learning fast and scoring high became my habit.
I have included many methods in this book that helped me achieve brilliant academic success. Now you too can use these powerful techniques to reach the top. And stay there!
—Preeti Narayan
Use information in this book to become a top achiever.
Good luck! Fly beyond your dreams!!

1. Always remember that someday you will need to show your report card to important people.
Some of those will be:
Admission authorities of institutions
Your employer
Your business partner
Your life partner
Your children
Imagine how you would feel before them if your grades or marks were low. Uncomfortable! How about your chance of clearing that interview? Slim! And how motivating would it be for your children once you were a parent? Un-motivating!
So what must you choose now? ONLY TOP SUCCESS! Yes, only top success in your studies.
Don’t worry; you can make it. This is a simple job for that super-computer—your brain. All you need do is use the secrets in this book.
2. Make a list of all the things and benefits you will lose if you have poor grades or marks.
Many students do not realize the magnitude of their loss when they study poorly. This list will be an eye-opener. To prepare this list, use any diary or notebook and write down the losses you will suffer if you get poor grades.
Here are six examples of such losses to drive home the point:
Loss of confidence and self-esteem
Little respect in society—people love and respect only winners!
Low income
Stressful life
Poor or lower middle-class lifestyle
Marriage to an ordinary boy or a plain Jane!
Many who neglected studies in their teens are now living a life of frustration. To confirm this, just consider your relatives and friends. You will be surprised at what you find.
So take a conscious decision right now NOT to live such a low-quality life and aim for absolute success in studies. Shoulder the responsibility of creating the future you will enjoy.
Remember, ONLY YOU can control your future.
3. List the multiple advantages of studying well and obtaining good grades.
We all love to do things that ensure benefits and advantages. You will be more interested in studies if you are aware of the huge advantages you will enjoy if you study well.
So if you hate studies or begin to feel bored, just read this list of advantages. Your hatred or boredom will evaporate and your mind will be charged to study more.
Below are five illustrative benefits of studying well. Read them. Then note down other benefits you can obtain by studying well:
Greater confidence
Higher self-esteem
Better career or business opportunities
Happy parents and teachers
Eligibility for Scholarships and other awards
List more benefits that are important to you. For example: visiting beautiful places, owning a car, living in a luxurious bungalow, etc.
4. Meet people who have completed their education with good grades and are now enjoying their dream career or lifestyle.
Such meetings will make you yearn for success! You will also feel the desire to study well and enjoy life like them.
Ask them relevant questions, like:
What qualifications and skills must you acquire to become like them or to enter and succeed in their field?
How did they prepare for their exams?
By the time you complete your education will there still be demand in their field?
Are they enjoying their career and profession?
How is their personal life now? Do they find enough leisure time with family and friends?
Always have a SUCCESSFUL SELF IMAGE in mind, no matter how poor your present performance.
Want a fabulous report card
First visualize it in your mind.
Want to become a doctor
Then visualize it in your mind.
Want unlimited success
Visualize it in your mind.
Don’t forget—everything starts in your mind. Everything starts with your thoughts. If you want success, always visualize yourself as a successful person. Hold a positive self-image about yourself.
Your confidence will then automatically increase. And you will find it easier to achieve success.
Indeed, this is the secret of bright students: they always consider themselves winners. So it becomes easy for them to think and do things that take them to their goal—of achieving TOP success in studies. Now you too can achieve big-time success. Just GO for it!
2. List the good marks or grades you have scored in your entire educational life till now. You can also write down good remarks made by your teachers.
Open your old school or college records. Against each subject, find the good marks you have scored. Copy them in your diary. If your teacher praises you in class, include it in this list along with the date!
Give some motivating name to this list, like:
‘My Amazing Scores List’
or
‘Proof of Being A Good Student’
Look at this list closely whenever you feel low or think you are a poor student. You will instantly feel a burst of confidence.
Frequently reading this list helps you develop the habit of thinking “I CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING.” Such thinking increases your confidence, makes you more positive and helps you to use your brainpower efficiently.
This is a SMART way to achieve success—allowing your brain to work smoothly without negative thoughts draining it. Therefore, while making this list, ignore poor results!
3. Keep repeating, “I have unlimited brainpower. I can learn anything. I am a brilliant student.”
This technique of giving positive suggestions to ourselves is called Self-suggestion, Affirmation or Autosuggestion.
Mentally repeat the above sentences five times daily. This simple act of repeating positive affirmations increases your confidence. When you continue using positive affirmations another big change will occur in you—as a wonderful side effect…
You will automatically cultivate
a most important success-habit—
paying more attention to your strengths
and ignoring weaknesses.
So start using the above affirmations. You will discover more powerful affirmations in this book to improve other important areas of your student life.
You can repeat these sentences before starting your studies, while sitting in class, before going to bed and after getting up in the morning.
Don’t ignore this method because it seems so simple. This method works because it utilizes a powerful truth: you get what you think repeatedly. And affirmations help you to repeatedly think about positive thoughts, which help to bring about powerful changes in you.
4. Here’s an excellent confidence booster. Mentally repeat this affirmation several times a day: “1 have a perfect brain and by using this perfect brain, I can be a genius in my chosen field.”
Don’t be scared by the word ‘genius’. Remember what Thomas Alva Edison said:
“Genius is 1% inspiration
and 99% perspiration.”
If you can read, comprehend, and remember what you are reading now, then you have a perfect brain. For a perfect brain, 1% inspiration is child’s play. And we will teach you how to perspire!
Also know that genius is NOT:
Scoring 100 per cent in every subject
Winning an Olympic medal in all sports
Being the world’s wealthiest person
Becoming an expert in everything
To be a genius you need not be any of these. A genius means…
Being the best in just one field—your chosen field, like teaching, drawing, performing surgery, etc.
This is easy for your powerful brain. Just learn how to use your brainpower correctly.
5. Prepare your SUCCESS List. This is the greatest favour you can do to yourself.
If this is done, you can use the Success List to programme your brain to automatically focus on thoughts and actions that lead you to success.
We have been programmed in early childhood to almost always think about our weaknesses, mistakes, and drawbacks. To be successful, you need to delete this early programming. The Success List helps you to do this easily.
As the name suggests, the Success List is just that, a list of all your big, small and even silly successes.
For instance: painting a nice picture, writing neatly, a good score in spellings, various exams passed, games won, speeches given, or any other skills or things that you have done and are good at.
The Success List makes you aware of your strengths and helps you focus more on your good qualities and successes. So take a diary and list all your little and big achievements. And always keep adding to the list!
DO THIS NOW!
Once you list your successes, the next thing to DO is to look at your list daily and say, “If I can achieve all these, I can Achieve Morel”
6. KNOW that you are a Born Winner, and can continue to be a winner.
With this belief, you can move mountains. When you believe that you are a born winner and can continue to win in life, you will develop a “I Can Achieve Anything” mindset.
This kind of positive mindset gives you the power to think big, act smart and achieve all your dreams.
So always think, “I am a born winner,” and “I can achieve anything.” If you want more help in this regard visit our website www.mindpowerguide.biz where you will receive FREE training to develop strong self-confidence and to start achieving more success in life.

1. Choose your career goal NOW.
A career goal answers your ‘WHY should I study’ question.
This answer helps you realize that studying is a path to your destination—your dream career. Walk on this path properly and you will definitely reach your destination and live happily too.
Besides, research has shown that students who choose career goals early score better grades and have fewer academic problems.
Why this is so? Simply because, when you choose a career goal of your choice you feel a strong desire to achieve it. This desire ensures you love your studies. When you love your studies, 50 per cent of your study problems are automatically solved! You can solve the rest by using this book.
Once you choose your career goal, do a smart thing: List all the small and big benefits you get when you realize your career dream. Check this list frequently or whenever you lack the desire to study.
2. Visualize how you want to live your life.
If you are yet to decide a career goal, don’t worry. You can use the exercise given below to choose the right career goal.
This exercise is based on the following principle: a lot of information is stored in your brain. In this huge storehouse of information, there is information related to your career goal also—hidden in the form of your reactions to stories you heard, the experiences of others, movies you saw, books and articles you read about different careers, etc.
When you do this exercise, your brain checks its vast storehouse of information and gives you hints to choose the right career.
Follow these simple steps: Close your eyes. Let your mind run wild and imagine…
How do you want to live your life?
What kind of job do you want?
Imagine yourself in detail in each of the career options you are considering.
Do this for 15-20 minutes. Open your eyes slowly, and ask yourself, “Which career can I enjoy most?” Note the idea or answer you receive. If you do not get a satisfactory answer, try this exercise again after a few days.
3. Your goals should be high enough to inspire you and realistic enough to be achieved.
While setting any goal, be judicious. Do not set goals that are too easy—ordinary goals do not motivate. Also do not set goals that are too difficult. You might feel overwhelmed and give up midway.
The best trick is to start with goals that seem near, but are far enough to make you jump to reach them. Challenging, isn’t it?
Now, do not worry about whether you will be able to achieve the academic or career goal that you set.
Just set your goal and start trying to achieve it. Remember, no one is born with a particular skill or ability. Everyone has to develop specific skills and abilities after coming into this world.
Also, here’s a special tip—you can develop any skill or ability you need to achieve success in your career goal by using two strategies:
Learn a particular skill from people who are good at it.
Use that skill repeatedly till you become an expert in it.
4. Ensure your goals are specific and clear.
Your brain does not work properly when it receives confusing orders. Your brain will help you focus on your goal only when it is specific.
It is like saying, “I want to enjoy my summer holidays in a foreign country.” Foreign country? Okay, but where? Without being specific, how can you book tickets, make travel plans and organise reservations? It just does not work.
It is the same with your career. If you are not specific in choosing your career goal, you cannot be motivated enough to succeed.
Now you might say, “I am so young. I am still studying. How can I be specific in choosing my career?” Okay friend, you think it is a genuine excuse. But, sorry! You must still choose a specific career goal. Why? Simply because only a specific goal can influence you to think and act like a brilliant student.
Besides, you can change your career goal later if you find a better one! Got it?
Now, what is your specific goal? Did you say, “I want to be an engineer?” This is still not specific enough. But if you say, “I want to be a Software Engineer with an M.E. degree,” it is more specific.
So decide TODAY!
5. Choose a career or educational course you REALLY like.
Yes, just any specific career goal is not enough to make you fly like a rocket towards it.
You must be passionate to achieve your career goal. Why? When you are passionate, you will never need a daily push from parents or teachers to attend school or college everyday, to do homework on time and prepare well before exams.
You will take all the essential steps to succeed in your studies automatically!
Here is some food for thought. In our workshops, we usually ask students what they want to become. Here is what we find again and again…
Students who replied instantly usually scored high in exams.
Students who took time to reply usually scored average marks in exams.
Students who said, “I am yet to choose my career” usually scored below average or had failed the exams.
What is the secret behind that instant answer? Students who answered instantly had already chosen the career goal they loved and had strong desire to reach it. This influenced them to study harder!
6. Choose a career that is in demand.
Oh dear, it is not enough to choose a career goal that you are passionate about! Your passionate goal should also be in demand!.
Now how do you cross this hurdle? Here’s how…
Ensure that the career you are so passionate about is able to solve some burning problem or fulfils a basic need of people. Then you will be in demand.
What is basic and what is not? For example, a career in sports, dance or music does not fulfil a basic need. This is because most people can survive their entire life without such services!
But a career that is directly or indirectly connected to providing shelter, food, clothes, education, protection, energy, finance, etc. will be in demand even in times of scarcity. This is because people cannot lead satisfactory lives without these.
Did you say, “Tendulkar and Amitabh Bachchan are minting crores!” Great. But what are your chances of being in their place? One in 100 million? But the world needs millions of teachers, managers, engineers and doctors. Why not aim to be the BEST among them? This is much easier!
However, if you still want to act or bat, our best wishes are always with you. Best wishes ONLY!
7. Take the help of others, if required, in choosing a meaningful career.
