The reason why this collaboration is so important and a landmark event as both BA and Career Power has had a long and extremely successful association with students appearing for competitive exams. This magazine includes various initiatives that cover various aspects of Banking and SSC exams in an exhaustive manner. Keeping in mind the upcoming exams, we have covered Current Affairs for not only the month of November but also for the month of October under the name “Current Affairs Zinger”. To make learning easy for the students we have also introduced another initiative by the name "NEWS MAKER OF THE MONTH" which covers all the important people, appointments, awards, etc that have made news. Having covered the GK and CA portion in an exhaustive manner, we have also given equal importance and focus to the other subjects of the exams, be it Reasoning, Quant, English, Banking, Interview Preparation or Guidance and boosting the confidence of students. We have also given Mock Papers on IBPS Clerk Mains, Specialist Officer and SSC CGL for practice for our readers, so that they can increase their speed and accuracy. We believe that each and every student has the hidden potential to reach the unattainable heights, and it is our responsibility to provide them with a platform that hones their skills enabling them to overcome each and every challenge that comes their way while appearing for these exams. Having said this I would like to give special thanks to the specialized mentors of Bankers Adda and Career Power team for providing us with the needed support and making this magazine a success.

A few years back after one of enthusiasm—a test of your endurance and how much you my friend, a young buck want it. preparing for the banking examinations said, “I It takes creative courage to make these hard decisions about understand what you’re saying your life and career, and to do what is in your heart.

These are the times that will define you—the moments you “Ravi, here’s your tombstone: seek out your dragons and slay them when they rise. This is the courage to be creative. “Here lies Ravi, he would have done great work, but he had to pay the rent.” Which brings us to my point: Everything you desire in life has a price and you have to be willing to accept that price. If you desire to do great work, it will cost you. Likewise, security and comfort will cost you. If you want a luxury apartment with a wrap-around sectional couch in leather with stainless steel legs, it will cost you. But here’s the thing: I’d rather be exhausted striving for excellence than churning out work that succeeds merely because it offends the least amount of people. The cost? The fear of financial uncertainty. But I willingly accept this cost because it allows me to follow my path and craft the type of career and lifestyle that I want and need. There are things that I will not compromise on, including my sanity, happiness, time with my family, spontaneous travel with my friends, and creative control in the work I choose to take on. If I fail, I will fail on my own terms, doing what I love. Taking a creative risk and stepping off the status quo treadmill requires bravery. It demands embracing risk, and fighting the good fight to face your fears of financial doom without bailing at the first sign of discomfort. The discomfort is just a test.
