My First Encounter With Failure

Failure is undoubtedly a crucial part of every individual’s life to grow more powerful and stronger. However, it sometimes really becomes harder for us as human beings to overcome the trauma of the failure that we face. I still remember my first encounter with the failure when I was a student in class 5th when scoring well in examinations was the only major thing of concern for everyone. I still remember that I just got 9 marks in my mathematics exam. It was really an embarrassing moment for me that still haunts still haunts me even today.

When I was at the age of 10 years, being a daughter of a mathematics teacher, it was a shameful experience for me. I was very badly scolded by my mother at that time. However, since then I put my harder efforts to improvise my condition in math and I succeeded too. But now, when I have grown up to an extent of maturity, I realize that scores are nothing but a measure to judge your performance in that particular exam. When it comes to the toughest exams of life, no score can judge you in any way.

Scoring 9 marks in the math exams were my first encounter with the failure of my life that certainly helped me positively in gaining the greater level of confidence. It is entirely dependent on how you take it? Considering such small failures as major life failures can take you into the deep world of depression and sorrow thereby making you weaker. Moreover, if you consider it as a challenge and a lesson to improvise yourself as a whole, it can certainly take you to the greater heights of success thereby making you stronger and a better individual.

So it is always advisable to take these failures of your life as a positive sign.
