What do you do when you fail?
What do you do when you fail?Theres been much going thru my mind the past 18 hours since I took the results of my final examination. I failed one of my papers, its called Accounting Standards and Regulations.
Ive been trying to digest the whole issue. Thanks to great friends, Im blessed for not walking this road alone.
Could it be that I didnt master the subject enough even to pass? But for some weird reason, my whole group of friends didnt clear the paper as well. Funny too, how more than 50% of the entire semester didnt either.
//
This is hard on me, especially when in many ways, Ive always been at the top regardless of the situation or matter. Making this slightly more than just failing a paper.
But I guess theres always a start to learn how to take in failures. And Im trying to embrace this lesson in the best fashion I can.
I know there are many victories coming ahead, but together with that, Ive many failures Ive to learn how to undertake as well. Its all part of life, and in many ways...it makes me more...human.
//
How do you feel? Many have asked.
I feel Ive disappointed my parents, my friends and the people who look up to me. The pinch is a lil harder when Ive always been the one who never fails in the things that I put my hands upon.
But more than that, I feel Ive disqualified myself from being the testimony that I am. It might sound a lil drastic, but I am hard on myself when it comes to these things.
Painful, but theres no secret in dealing with pain. We just got to learn how to live with it.
//
Saying so...what do you do when you fail?
Im trying my best to live by this:
"Forgetting those things which are behind does not suggest an impossible feat of mental and psychological gymnastics by which we try to erase the failures of the past. It simply means that we break the power of the past by living for the future. We cannot change the past, but we can change the influence of the past."

If I could...Id make you the happiest woman in the whole world.

chill bro,
We all know that results dont reflect your capabilities. And i'm very sure we all know what you're made of. Perhaps youre abit too relaxed on the subject? But nevertheless, we all know that youre much more than this.
Thanks bro,
Appreciate it. Eh, didnt open Limon yesterday how can?
Hehe, see you soon.
I knw wat you mean, and feelin here. Same same.
But you knw wat? Its not how you failed that matters, Its wat you do after you fail that makes all the difference!
If you ever need to talk
God Bless Bro.
heyz! been there, done that..
true abt what bnard said.. what are you going to do abt the failure? anyhows, think abt the brighter side.. you can add to the things you've done - failed one paper. not everyone gets to have that in their list.. (-.-") hehehe
but seriously, no worries abt that.. aim to clear it and dont indulge too much over it. just look at the positive side, ya! and you'll do just fine
[ coffeexified ] ;o)
Yo Bnard!
