I am just going to quote the words of my teacher who said these words about esteemed ustaad, teacher, mentor and role model, a Chartered Accountant of course, the late Mr. Ishfaq Ahmed, FCA. (May Allah Subhan uta Allah grant him Janat AL Firdaus). I believe this is some thing he said to all Foundation batches
"Consider yourself in the army now, just as people go to Kakul for two years, you are in the profession for four years. All you will have to do is think about CA. Tell, this to our parents, to your siblings, to your friends. You are not to go on to attend any weddings for the next four years, unless ofcourse its your own, no social events. The only thing on your mind should be passing these exams, for this you must be ready to take on all that is in its way, your partner for not giving you time off, your teachers for not solving your problems and above all your self. If 2,000 people can pass an qualify the exam so can you"
I don't forget these words, all of it came true as I sped through my articles and exams, at times I had to be at logger heads with my principal, quarrel with my managers about exam leave, up nights not be able to sleep because there was no time to sleep after putting in 12 hours at office and then prepare for the exams. But all I had in mind was if other people can pass these exams, so can I. Once you are sure of your self, nothing comes in your way, the only hurdle is you !!!
