Businessconquerer, I concur!

I know how understated, unspoken and unrealised this topic is.
We all know what-to-do once we achieve the damn score or crack the dream admit from the university.

However, the situation becomes completely wretched and dark when things don't turn out the way one plan.
That big ZERO of life.

To ALL the people out there burning the midnight oils, studying for late after your work hours, trying to make sense of bold-face questions and main idea of the geothermic RC passages, spending your weekends on mock and sectional tests, & annihilating your social and personal life, I'm sure you would, someday, stumble on this post: In fact, I DO want you to go across this post because of this fundamental learning:

Your results NEVER decide whether you are a loser, but rather your ACTIONS decide!
So: Fight. Hustle. And, Give your best shot ! :cool:


PS: Someday, You'll be glad that you did not quit on your dreams. :)

For some reason, I got the feeling of reading an applicant's essay :D

Very well written. Also, the main problem is that so many of us are afraid of failure :( Well, just watch the following two videos and tell me if we should be afraid of failure :cool:


Was just going through my old posts and saw this again.
Made my day!

Don't fear failure because failure teaches you how to not take things for granted. ... When we fail in life, we realize that we have something that we don't have yet. We don't take what we don't have for granted because we know what it means to be without that thing.

A failure to one person might simply be a great learning experience for someone else. Many of us are afraid of failing, at least some of the time. But fear of failure is when we allow that fear to stop us from doing the things that can move us forward to achieve our goals.
