Before taking you to this review article, I would like to draw your attention on an interview where the main character of this book(Manoj) talked about his struggles and failure and the resilient quality of him, which makes his journey printed on the book along with the author of this book will talk about his mindset towards writing this book. Please have a look here:
Now let’s talk about the book “12th Fail”
Q1. What is this book all about?
A. This book revolves around Manoj’s life. A village boy who born in a poor family and despite being failed in the 12th standard in his first attempt made his journey by being resilient to become an IPS(Indian Police Service) officer. (For those who don’t know what is an IPS officer? Please click here.)
Q2. Why I should read this book?
A. If you think your life is the most tragic life in the history of a lifetime or you think often that you are the only one who is born for misery and bad luck, then you should read this book. And if you are a student and have failed in many big exams and want to do bad upon yourself, then I would highly recommend this book to read. Manoj’s journey was full of failure and failure and failure, but throughout his journey, his goal was clear with him and he worked really really hard to achieve it. Yes, he failed and rise and failed again and rise. Every time he failed, he used to observe the pattern of his failure, and then he uses to work on it to become a better version of himself.
Q3. Can you tell me some greatest learning or thoughts in this book?
A. On the book cover, it says, “HARA WAHI, JO LADA NAHI”. In English, it means: “THOSE WHO HAVEN’T FOUGHT, ARE THE ONES WHO LOST”. This is one of the most meaningful lines that I came across. Apart from this, I like the way the character portrays the positive significance of being in love or in a relationship. We always heard that to be a successful person, we have to sacrifice the love and all the related drama to it. But in this book, it was the power of love that showed the productivity in Manoj’s life. I really liked the perspective of it.
Apart from this, I really admire the way Manoj took the criticism of his surrounding. Yes, we often feel bad about the critics, but this book showed that if you really have a clear goal or purpose in your life, then you will walk on the path of success no matter how bad the critics are or how bad the consequences will be.
Q4. Who should read this book?
A. At first, I thought this book is only for UPSC(Union Public Service Commission) aspirants as the character(Manoj) wanted to become an IPS officer. But when I turned down more pages of this book, I realized that this book can be read by anyone and therefore, I gave this book to my mother to understand life’s perspective through the character’s journey. I will recommend anyone who is reading this article, can give it a try and you can thank me later. Yes, this book is written in Hindi and I am not having any idea about the English publications.
At the end, I will say that:
The real secret of successful life is to keep your butt on the chair.
