A friend of mine told me that he failed an exam that he was preparing for the
past 6 months. Main Reason of failure? During the oral part of the exam, he answered one of the questions incorrectly due to carelessness. But the thought of “kicking himself” haunted him and lingered on throughout the entire exam. And unfortunately that affected his concentration and confidence adversely. Consequently, he failed the exam by a thin margin.
Like many incidents in life, when we did not have a good start, we should NOT let that experience of failure linger on. We should snap back and move on. We still have the rest of our lives to make it up!
