JOURNEY FROM FAILING TO LEARNING:

This is an amazing story where I am sharing my experience that how my perspective towards failure changed and how we start relating our dream to something which actually was never our dream.

If I talk about the "dream "or "aspiration" so, it is something that we all have. So similarly to many others, I was just unaware of my actual dream until I saw "3 idiots". After watching that movie I just became an enthusiast for engineering. As It became a burning desire of me to become an engineer, particularly an electrical engineer so I came to know about IIT, and all of a sudden now I decided to pursue my degree from IIT.

>I know that dreaming about something is very easy but to actually achieve it requires a lot of patience, hard work, and persistence. So to get to pursue electrical engineering from IIT I had to crack this so-called JEE MAINS exam. I personally already knew that it was not going to be an easy journey but still, I wanted to fight or I can even say that I wanted to compete.

> It was the time of COVID-19 when the government ordered a complete lockdown. I personally was very disappointed with this lockdown in the beginning but then I realized that it can be utilized properly for preparing for the exams. From that course of time, I started my real journey toward my dream. 

>So on the day of the examination I  was very excited because I was just a few steps away from my dream. But on the day of the result, everything changed. When I saw the result, I was even shocked and disappointed. I can't even imagine that I got such a heartbreaking score. I have just broken apart into many pieces. It just felt like I just lost my whole zeal and will to live. On that day I was barely able to do anything. I was totally empty inside and I was just confused that what to do next because I never planned for this. At that time I just felt that in the journey of this life,  I am currently stuck at a dead end. I was clueless about my future actions. I even thought of taking a drop but in my case that too wasn't feeling like a great idea. 

> On that day I realized that the ultimate source of motivation and positivity is our parents. my father instead of getting angry over me for failing appreciated all of my efforts and encouraged me. He made me realize how much potential  I have. "But Papa I failed," I said. I still remember his answer which just changed my whole mind. he simply and calmly said, "Beta FAIL itself means First Step In Learning".

and his thoughts, his trust towards me, and his positivity brought me out of that sorrow and helped me in recovering my failure this small incident changed my whole perspective about viewing failure.

 

> At that time I realized that my main goal was not to join IIT rather it was to pursue a degree in the electrical field. Yes I failed to join IIT and it would have been best if I did my degree from IIT but if I can't get admission to IIT it doesn't mean that I can't follow my dream anymore. I started searching for the best colleges in my state and in the end I just got admission at one of the best colleges for electrical engineering in the state. 

The whole nutshell of this story is that "EITHER YOU SUCCEED OR YOU LEARN".
