Today, I had a PROC NMAT, and boy oh boy did I create high expectations for myself , My last times score was not something to write home about but I said hey if I can surpass my score by even 20 more I would be more than satisfied with my mediocre performance , but instead I crashed and burned big time, in the words of Fast and Furious analogies of the past!!
Now for most people they would be even happy with just making the passing grade, but after my graduation almost 3 yrs ago, and the realization I have never had many failures during my limited but extremely fulfilling professional life, especially something like this which affects you professionally and personally. I was hit with the hard reality, that my performance was abysmal today and I need to seriously buck up.
It affects anyone especially if they have never had much practice at failing, I mean the occasional setback is something that most individuals are used to, but a crash and fall of this magnitude is truly earth shattering and it affects someone at various levels which are difficult to pen down.
I guess now what matters the most, is how do I come back from this FAILURE. The fighting spirit to come back from a lose and shaky ground and work towards building back the pieces, It is a painstaking but worthy in its cause, if all the efforts bear fruit at the end of the day, I guess the only worse thing today is a fall in the marks, which can be made up, money can be made up but time can never be brought back, so the learning from todays small but meaningful post is that in the eye of the storm its better to face your fear no matter what it may be and hard work and perseverance is what makes the difference, so remember, the future of tomorrow, is what we do today! I have lived by that last line since the past so many years, time to relive it again as I pass another era of my life,
Again God Speed and Goonight
