வாழ்ந்து காட்டலாம் வா நண்பா!

இவன் இருக்கப் பெற்றவன்
இவன் இல்லாதவன் என
பேதம் பார்ப்பதில்லை வெற்றி!
வெற்றியென்பது
எல்லோருக்கும் சொந்தம்!
அதனுடன் உன் உறவு எப்படி
என்பதில் தான்
ஏற்றமும் இறக்கமும் இருக்கும்!
நாமெல்லாம் எங்கே?
அதை முடிப்பதென்றால் சாதாரணமா?
பணம் படைத்தவர்களால் மட்டுமே சாத்தியம்?
உன்னை நீயே தாழ்த்திக் கொண்டு
உரை நிகழ்த்துவதை முதலில் விடு!
குறிக்கோள் ஒன்றைத் தேர்ந்தெடு
அதை எக்காரணம் கொண்டும்
முறிக்காமல் போராடு!
விழ நேரிடும் ஆனாலும்
எழும் சக்தி கிடைக்கும் உனக்கு!
ஜெயிக்கப் பிறந்தவன் நான்
சாதிக்காமல் விடமாட்டேன்
சொல்லிப் பழகு!
துக்கத்தையும் சோம்பலையும்
தூர விலக்கு!
முயற்சியையும் பயிற்சியையும்
விளக்காக்கு!
காந்தி, கலாம் சொல்லை
செல்லும் பாதையாக்கு! நீ
வாழ்ந்து காட்டுவாய், வரலாறாய்!

TNPSC தேர்வுகள் எழுதும் போது கவனிக்க வேண்டியவை

TNPSCதேர்வில் வெற்றி பெற முதலில் பொதுத்தமிழை நன்றாகப்படித்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள் அதுவே வெற்றியைத் தீர்மானிக்கிறது .

§  General Tamil -க்கு 6 முதல் 12 ஆம் வகுப்பு வரை உள்ள தமிழ் புத்தகங்களைப் படிப்பதே போதுமானது.

§ பலர் கடைசி வாரத்தில் தான் படிக்க வே ஆரம்பிக்கிறார்கள். அது தவறு.

§ TNPSC தேர்வில் வெற்றி பெற எண்ணுபவர்கள் தேர்வு அறிவிப்பு வெளிவந்த பின் படித்துக் கொள்ளலாம் என மெத்தனமாக இருப்பதே தவறு.

§ TNPSC தேர்வில் வெற்றி பெற எண்ணுபவர்கள் தினமும் ஒரு மணி நேரமாவது பள்ளிப் பாடப் புத்தகங்களைப் படிப்பதற்கு ஒதுக்க வேண்டும். பாடங்களை திரும்பத் திரும்ப படிக்க வேண்டும். புரிந்து படிக்க வேண்டும்.

§ முக்கியமானவை எனத் தோன்றும் பகுதிகளை Notes எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாம்.

§ தினசரி செய்தி தாள் படிக்கலாம் அல்லது தொலைக்காட்சியில் News பார்க்கலாம்.

முக்கிய செய்திகள் வெளிவந்தால் தேதி குறிப்பிட்டு ஒரு Note-ல் குறித்து வைத்துக் கொள்ளவும்.

இப்படிச் செய்தால் Year Books தேடி கடை கடையாக அலைவது கூட அவசியமில்லை.

§ கடைசி வாரத்தில் புதிய பாடங்களை படிக்கவே கூடாது. படித்தபாடங்களை திரும்பத்  படிக்க வேண்டும். அதாவது

Revise செய்ய வேண்டும்.
