Hungry for success but starving at the moment ?

The most common problem a person faces in today's world is failure , and it could be in any shape and size . Failure is something that cannot be seen coming towards you , it's not an event that'll ring you before taking place for a pre-booking , it's natural and brutal .

First thing that might pop out in your brain after reading that would be "Indeed failure is something unexpected but what to do once you've failed ?" . Here's a story for you before I make my next statement :
I was the kind of person who will never take things seriously until they hit me hard enough to make me wonder what was I doing all this while . In the year 2015 I had failed in one of my exams . I appear for a re-test later and I managed to fail that too !

To be honest while studying for the re-test the only thing on my mind was "What will happen if I'm unable to pass this paper and ended up repeating the same grade" . Thinking that the fear of repeating a grade was sufficient to motivate me to work hard and pass the test but the end result was in front of me , I had failed again . Luckily the school I was attending was generous enough to give me a last chance of clearing the paper .

What did I do then ?

I was studying the whole syllabus for the third time , I knew things but was that enough to pass the test ?

A BIG NO
Then I analysed what was missing ,
Was I reading the wrong text book ? Was the subject too hard ? Was my tuition teacher not teaching me well enough ?

After all this I finally realized that it was lack of confidence and fear that was making things harder than they were already for me . I then decided that I'll do my part with all hard work and dedication and let faith decide what it has to do with me .

While giving the re-re-test , I was calm and relaxed , my only motive was to present what I knew in the best way that I could and not worry about failing and repeating the grade again .

End result ? I passed my test with some decent marks !

Okay , you might be wondering now that "Of-course this has happened in everyone's life once at least" but what do we learn from it ?

While walking down the lane of success there will always be a number of obstacles that will hold us back from reaching the destination , but at that point we should keep moving forward and not give up !
"Is that it ?"

NO ! There's more to it :

When you're working on something , you should not worry about it's failure even before taking the first step (neither should you be too dreamy about it's success cause obviously you don't know what kind of turns and twists might take place later on) .
Your main focus should be on doing what you can and presenting it with the all of your potential , things will turn out well eventually .

I know it looks very simple once you read it but no it's not as simple as it looks because once you face failure in something bigger than an exam you'll have difficulties convincing yourself that you'll reach success someday . At that point , if you're able to apply the same theory , definitely something beautiful would be waiting for you ahead .

It's something common in all successful people , they only focus on doing what they believe in and presenting it with all their potential . They never let their fear take over or loose confidence because they know , only if they believe in themselves others will also believe in them .

'Believe in yourself , or else no one else will '.
