"THE DANIEL CORPORATION"

Saturday, October 07, 2006

I type this as I just turn on the computer after a very emotionally laden day. Well the emotion was more or less the same the whole day and it seems to have changed my outlook but I will not let that happen.

Disappointment. In every single subject:
Economics-O
Geography-F
Literature-D

Disappointment and very much a trial period to see whether I would give up or not. Well I totally did not study for my mid years and I got an F for econs and geog and D for lit. Interestingly I studied so much harder and I still got only a slight change in my results.

Look on the bright side? I only just barely failed my geog which the last time I failed miserably. And econs my result has been multiplied a few times even though it is only and F. lit was better this time round except for one essay that I screwed up in each of the three papers. Well it could have been a B or C? wt the heck.

I have given an uncountable number of pep talks and motivational speeches to friends, relatives and people I barely knew. In crunch time I realized that a lot of things I said I needed to apply in my life it was just that the emotion of the moment is sometime so strong that it clouds your logical thinking. I let that happen today and wasted a day of being able to study. But a true man can admit his mistake and get back up on his two feet and start running. And that is what I am going to do.

I am also thankful for the fact that I am able to ascertain the mistakes that I made and see what I need to do to change them. I am also very grateful to the teachers who have offered their kind support and time to be there for us every step of the way. Some of us are already very near but there are some of us who need to sprint the last stretch of steps to reach there in time.

To those reading this I am sorry that this post is not entertaining at all, and well it is more o less for me to therapy myself (mind the English) and I am feeling rather more optimistic and goal oriented now that I have finished talking to myself. To those who did endure and read the whole post, I hope you take something valuable away from this and learn that it is not impossible. Whatever it is you face in life. Go to it head to head and you will emerge victorious. Hardly anyone knows the struggles I face and no I am not ready to publicize it on the www and well I am going through life victoriously (studies is not the only thing in life).

Please never ever give up and don’t forget to smell the roses along the way.
I am gonna get ready to go out for dinner with the groupies. So sad that Adrian and Vanessa are not comin :-(
