Not good enough? Add a ‘yet’ in the end :)
I once read somewhere that one needs to react the same way in successes as well as in failures. Not let success get to you, or failures take you down. In the light of recent ‘failures’ in my life, I’m wondering if I’m as good as I think I am… And there is one scene from my past, that somehow is flashing past my eyes, repeatedly. 49 out of 100 in Math… in the half-yearly exams, for a student who stands first in class. While I was crying my eyes out… from the corner of my eyes, I noticed my mom was smiling. What was wrong with her? Fast forward to the final term results, and I was 100 on 100 in Math… solving questions for the seniors in the bus. What changed? I not only practiced the sums of the class I was in (If I remember correctly, 6th) but also of subsequent classes. Did my mom know that this would happen and that’s why she was smiling earlier? If she did, then I’m right to assume that she knows me better than I do. The whole point of this story is, if you failed at something and you are feeling you are good for nothing, I want you think that, you are not good at it, ‘yet’… because you haven’t spent enough time on this. Roll up your sleeves and get going, if you want to be good at it! Delve deeper…
