Failure doesn’t define you, success does
This is the time in the year when all the students are geared up for your exams be it JEE MAINS or your 12th BOARDS. This is also the time of the year when the pressure on the students is on its peak. And sad to say but this is also the part of year when most of the students face mental as well as nervous breakdown. This blog will mainly focus on the ill effects of the huge amount of pressure that the education system puts of the students.
Let me illustrate my point. Kota or “the city of coaching classes” as it is called leads in the number of suicides that the students commit. Every year around this time a lot of students take this extreme step and in all cases the reason is same….they could not perform to the expectations of society.
The point that I am trying to make is that these exams don’t define who you are. Qualifying these exams is not at all a parameter to success. Failing them will not guarantee that you are unsuccessful and clearing them does not mean that you are successful. I have numerous examples in which students who were not able to clear JEE reached the pinnacle of success and also those who failed even after getting admission in IIT.
Failures are just a stepping stones to success. I know how much it hurts to be in a situation in which you think that all the efforts that you have put in these years have been a total waste. But it is not the destination that matters but the journey itself. Success is something which never comes to anyone on their first go. You have to prove yourself that you are truly worthy for that success. Don’t think that you were not able to clear the exams, but rather think what did the life teach you in this entire journey and believe me there is no way a 3 hour paper can truly be a indicator of amount of hard work that you have done. Nobody is perfect in this world. Its ok to fail, everybody fails at some point of time but it is equally important to learn from the mistakes. There might be many reasons why you failed, maybe you were not able to manage time properly or just that you are not able to perform well under pressure.
Listen to me, if life would have been so easy then everyone would have been able to fulfill their dreams.
The wealthiest place on this planet is the graveyard because in a graveyard we will find inventions that were never really worked on, superb ideas that were never really worked on, hopes and aspirations that were never really acted upon. The question is what you are going to do with your time. What drives you? Success does not mean taking a giant step, rather it means taking lots of little steps in the right direction. You will never be successful until you turn your pain into efforts, until you allow your pain to push you from where you are to where you need to be. Just dace your pain, embrace it because it is going to be a part of your product, a part of your prize, a part of yourself.
See it’s time now. Now the decisions that you take will change your life forever. If you want to fulfill your dreams say yes to pain, say yes to suffering, yes to failures and say yes to your potential. When you die, leave no dream left behind guys. Leave no opportunity to accomplish your dreams and at last leave no regrets.
Best of luck
