Wow! I can't believe that I'm writing on this. Things do happen. Sigh.

Sorry that I'm deviating from my series of stories but I just thought to share my thoughts on the topic failure.

I'm sure some of us must know what it feels like to prepare day and night for a test, think that you know the in and out and almost absolutely everything about the course and then fail. Not just fail but fail woefully. If you hadn't figured it out, I'm talking about academic failure not the financial or physical failure that is mostly talked or written about.

I'm this particular experience, God knows that I had prepared day and night for this test. Read every slides and still went through some practice questions. It was the day of the test and I was wondering that who was the 'genius' that had the idea of placing the tests of three courses on the same day.

I was prepared for the test and entered the exam venue confident. The questions were relatively straightforward and I answered them to the best of my knowledge which I know is more than enough. I wasn't expecting to get 100% but I was definitely expecting to get over 75%. I finished on time and submitted my test script.

This was just a week ago before the results were released. During that one week, I was relatively confident of getting a good score but only if I knew the shock that was waiting for me

The results were released and I was dumbfounded by what I got. I was sure that this isn't my score. How could I get a one digit number as my score. That's impossible. I looked at other people's score and low and behold, there was mass failure. Even the best students failed woefully, how much more me. Regardless I knew that wasn't my score. There is no way in this world I could have gotten that. Even if I entered the examination hall with a blank mind and guessed all the answers, I still couldn't have gotten that score.

It was then I realized that it was a normal or should I rather say an infamous thing for people to fail that course and I was just another statistics. The rest of the day was ruined for me and people kept asking why I was looking like that and if I was okay. I told them yes or what else could I possibly say. Always forming hard guy as usual.

I'm still depressed now as I am writing. But what else can I do apart from working harder and reading like never before. It's not the end but it's just the beginning. Time to show those devils that marked my script what I'm capable of. They think that it's okay when their fail, feel some sense of joy and fulfillment. I will show them that I'm an exception.

They might have won the battle but they've surely lost the war.

Thank you for reading this article and I appreciate your encouragement and do not take it for granted.

Be a failure doesn't mean such person dumb totally,it might be him/her is doing the right thing at the wrong time.in that case,man needed to seats him/her self down and start asking themselves where I'm i doing wrong and correct the mistakes. Nobody have any good thing without failure.

I'd tell you that failure is a step closer to success, an eye opener to what you didn't see coming, now, you can expect them to do their worst but you're not going to be moved.... I believe in you, there's always space to do better
