Padhai se kabhi aapko motivation naa mile na toh hamesa yaad rakhna out of
100 , 99.999999 % logo ko padhai se kabhi motivation nhi mili ( including me ) .
Jb padhai se motivation na mile na toh padhai krne ke baad jo reward milta h
usse motivate ho jana . e.g COEP highest package = 70 – 80 LPA PICT = 30 LPA
