A lot of beginners go off the rails when they’ve got a nice clean sheet of paper or a blank screen in front of them and they’ve got to fill it with words - meaningful words.

The way to avoid the cold feeling of panic is to have a plan of action. The type of plan that works best for you depends on your personality. Some of you will make structured lists, with every small detail itemized and all T’s crossed. Or you may have a vague set of instructions, sometimes little more than remembering to have a beginning, middle and end. Others of you will find that the best way to work is just to start writing and see where it takes you.

The way to find what will work for you is to plan out some example pieces of work. You might never write them, but the practice will benefit you. For example, how would you go about writing an episode of your favourite TV show, or an article on a local photography exhibition, or a review of a best-seller? By writing a plan of approach, you’ll give yourself an idea of what the final piece of work would require. When I started writing short stories I used to deconstruct famous stories and plan how I’d re-write them.

The planning step also gives you a check as to whether or not you actually want to write the piece. And remember, if you plan not to have a plan, you’ve still decided on a plan. And don’t stop here.

It’s now time to plan your opening sentence. To get readers to keep reading you need a hook, something that will lead them in and keep them there until you’ve told them what they didn’t know they needed to know. Crime writers kill people, romance novelists have people get divorced, good writers hint at a conflict to come but hide it in the middle of something else. Journalists scream at you in huge type and article writers ask you rhetorical questions, all in the first five seconds of reading.

Go away and study the structure of some writing. Look at how writers grab you and reel you in like an expert fisherman.

And ask yourself, “How would I do that?”

In Chennai, 135 examination centres has been identified. A total of 14 custodian points for question papers has been set up, with a senior headmaster in-charge of each. The city police gave 24 hours’ protection to these centres, from where questions papers has to be despatched for the examination. For every 20 students, one examination hall has been earmarked. Nearly 45,891 students from 401 city schools has appeaed for the examination.

Girls overall percentage is 79.6 whereas boys percentage was 72.9. This year also no Chennai students were seen in the State ranks.

Last year only 83% of the candidates passed, N Nagaraju, joint secretary, CBSE (Chennai region), said, while releasing the results on Wednesday.

“Since the CBSE adopted the High Order Thinking Skills concept this year, schools began to prepare students much earlier. With OBC reservation in higher education, students realised that they needed to perform better to get into professional courses,” said C Sathish, principal, DAV Boys Senior Secondary School, Gopalapuram. With students complaining about tough questions in mathematics and chemistry, the evaluators showed leniency.

View Of Emotions

Dictionary.com defines frustration as a feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or depression, resulting from unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.

Frustration, like any emotion we view as negative has a positive side to it. We can look at frustration the same way we might look at a toothache. It’s a sign that we need to take some sort of action. In this way, frustration is a tool for self-discovery and growth.

Frustration is a wake-up call. I am not referring to the kind of frustration we experience when we are tired after a long day of work and the traffic is bad, but the kind of frustration that we experience chronically when we find ourselves in an on-going bad situation like a lousy job or a bad relationship, and we need to make a change. Or, frustration can signal that we are due for a change in attitude and perspective about how we view our life. Let’s look at both ways.

Circumstances/Environment - An example would be feeling frustrated day after day with a job that is not challenging. Going to this job seems like drudgery and the days drag on forever. Maybe the pay is OK, but spending 40 hours a week like this is torture. This is indeed a frustrating situation. And what is this frustration trying to tell you? It’s telling you that you need to make a change.

Attitude - An example of this type of frustration would be something like when you try to control another person’s actions, or “way of being”, and the other person isn’t complying. This type of frustration requires a change in your attitude or perspective because what you are trying to do is simply impossible, at least for any length of time.

Being frustrated tells us that it’s time to look at what we’re doing and thinking and ask ourselves if this is working well for us. Fear of change or the consequences of taking action can sometimes keep us trapped in our frustrating situation, but again, like a toothache, if action isn’t taken, we remain trapped. This can lead to unhealthy stress in our minds and bodies.

So what can you do when you find your self chronically frustrated? Ask yourself these questions:

What is it that I find so frustrating about this situation/person?

What outcome am I looking for?

Am I expecting something to change outside of me, or do I need to look inside for guidance on what needs to change and how to change it?

What can I learn from this (there’s a lesson in there somewhere)?

Is this something that is under my control, and if so, in what ways is it under my control?

What steps must I take to initiate change and follow through?

If my frustration is with a situation that is not under my control, what can I change about my perspective that will help?

Should I speak up about the situation to a person who is causing me frustration? How should I phrase my “complaint”? What would the consequences be?

How might I change my perception and how would that ease my frustration?

How would my life improve if I was free of this particular frustration?

I would caution each of us to remember that being able to blame another person for our frustration may answer some questions as to why this is happening, but you still have to look within yourself to find the right answers on how you should proceed. No one is going to do it for you. Sometimes it is very helpful to have a coach or other professional help you sort it all out to get past the bumpy part.

Sometimes you will have to push to change things. What do you wish to gain? What will it take? What are your resources? What are the consequences of not changing and what are the consequences of making a change? Sometimes changes must be made because the situation is simply unbearable. Change takes courage, even if it’s for the better. If you’re feeling frustration, you have been given a gift to look inside yourself and find a way to change your life productively, positively and in a healthy way.
