Ace & Beyond

Hey, welcome back! Great day yesterday. Always a nice feeling to get work done. It's the one thing that I enjoy the most. I still believe that there is room for improvement especially with regard to scrolling through reels. I did complete almost all the tasks I had assigned myself in the first half. But things went downhill in the second half of the day due to a bit of body pain. I couldn't clock any serious progress and had to take rest to recover. With today being International Yoga Day it felt like a timely reminder to get involved in some form of physical activity. Today, the focus shifts again from CS Professional to B.Com as my next exam is on Monday and it is Costing - a subject I'm fairly new to. Considering the turn of events yesterday, I've decided to not take any risks and allocate two entire days for the subject but I'll slot in CSR & SG just to get a feel for the subject. 📅 Date: 21st June 2025 (Saturday) 🎯Targets: BCOC138: Revise all Blocks and S...

Hey! Welcome back. Another bad day at the office but definitely some  bright sparks. It wasn't among the most productive of days academically but took few important steps in my personal life. I have been trying to quit a couple of things and I got the march towards success all planned out yesterday. I'll start work on that journey today - wasting no time. Today, the focus is again on CS Professional with a touch of the B.Com subjects.  Also, I'd like to thank all my readers for the comments on my previous blog. Those comments have skyrocketed my confidence and helped me trust my abilities. ❤️ 📅Date: 20th June 2025 (Friday) 🎯Targets for Today: ESG: Chapter 16 - Complete 4 Lectures DPA: Unit 2 - Revise earlier lessons and Complete 3 Lectures CSR & SG: Introduction - Complete 2 Lectures BCOC138: Revise all Blocks One step at a time, one win at a time — let’s make today matter. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Bye! 👋

Hey! Today is Day 4 of my journey towards CS Professional December 2025. Yesterday was a very unproductive day - no study, no motivation to study. I'm hoping to find an extra kick to get through the gears and start being more consistent. The targets today have been set at the same level as yesterday to ensure there is no complacency in the way I see this journey. Date: 19th June 2025 Day: Thursday Targets: DPA - Unit 2 - Lectures 7, 8, 9 and 10 and Revision ESG - Chapter 16 - Lectures 1, 2, 3 and 4 CMADD - Unit 1 - Lectures 1 and 2 BCOC138 (Costing) - Block 1 Revision Time to get rolling and start achieving some real goals. Wishing everybody a great day ahead. Bye! 👋

Hey Folks! I'm pretty sure that the few readers I have will be surprised to see another post this quick especially after a few posts earlier this week. This post is about mindset - something central to my formula of success. The title does have a hyphen (-) between 'mind' and 'set' which sure must have intrigued the reader I believe. The hyphen separating the word 'mind-set' is there just to bring a tennis reference. The phrase 'set and match' is commonly used in racket sports and this is a tribute to my love for tennis. As someone whose formula for success has mindset as a key component, I feel I'm in the best possible situation to highlight its importance. I hear a lot of people talk about the importance of mindset and I agree with most of them.  Throughout my educational life, I've always had the mindset of 'I can do this, no pressure' and this has always worked for me. In all the exams I had taken - except my CS Executive exams -...

Hello Readers! Welcome back after a couple of days' break due to my ongoing B.Com exams. The first two exams went okay considering the amount of efforts that I put in and my priorities at the moment. I have a 5-day break before my next exam which is on 23rd June. I will be focusing mainly on my CS Professional subjects in this window and studying for my exams in the small gaps that I get. The focus clearly remains on completing CS studies currently. The exam next week is Costing about which I don't have much idea to be honest.  Date: 18th June 2025 Day: Wednesday Targets : Drafting, Pleadings and Appearances (DPA) - Unit 2 - Lectures 7, 8, 9 and 10 and Revision Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) - Chapter 16 - Lectures 1, 2, 3 and 4 Compliance Management, Audit and Due Diligence (CMADD) - Unit 1 - Lectures 1 and 2 BCOC138 (Costing) - Block 1 Revision I've mentioned the subject names entirely for clarity but I won't repeat this.  Wishing everyone a great day ahea...

Hello Readers! This post is about a topic suggested by one of my close friends and also among the few readers of this blog. She did give me more topics but this one caught my attention the most. Hey, if you're reading this, I'll be writing on those other topics as well soon. The topic was something like criteria for trusting a person. To be more specific, are there any specific criteria for trusting someone? Is it based on past experiences or relationships? As someone whose friend circle is limited to a handful of people, I feel I can do justice to this question. My opinion may be totally different from that of my readers and I totally accept your views as well. No judging, no shaming! Trust, loyalty and synonyms of these words are very subjective. It depends on the nature of the person as well. So, my view is in some sense different yet similar to that of others. I believe that trust is something that is not in our hands to be honest. I feel that one cannot generate trust in a...

Hey! Good Morning! After restarting yesterday, I've made some progress and pretty much seem to be getting into the groove. But I don't want to be too confident and lapse my progress. Today, the focus again is on the B.Com subjects as my exams start tomorrow.
