00:03I do not mean things that you get by competing with a million other people

00:13Then you are just one of them. Are you not?

00:15Please see that. The toughest attainment is about wanting something that no one else wants

00:20But that's not what our education and society has taught us

00:23We have been told a million people wrote the JEE and you are in the top 1 percentile
