Day 24 : A lesson I learnt

I have learnt many lessons in my short lifespan but I learnt something few years ago which I feel is actually worthy. 💞

I had got my result of class tenth. I had worked very hard and I was expecting a good percentage. 😊

Infact I got a nice percentage, which was the highest in my batch by God's grace. 😇

I was not happy though because I was expecting 95+ and I had got net 95 percent. I cried. When the director of my school hugged me, I had tears in my eyes as I felt I should have done better. 🙂

That day, she said, "Student, don't shed tears on things you have achieved. Focus on your future and strive on things, you deserve." 🙂

Since then I tried to follow her advice. I focused on myself instead of competing with those students (from other schools) who had their results in the newspaper and had got 95+ too. 😅

I fulfilled my goal of getting desired percentage in my twelfth standard and that time, I didn't cry 😅.

All those years in my school and during graduation too, I focussed on securing good marks because I do believe marks are an important measure to detect our capability as per our educational system. They play an important role in getting good ranks and admissions though, they aren't a measure of knowledge of anyone. 🙂

I opted for a graduation degree instead of a professional one, because I am crystal clear about my goal and the process to achieve it. 😊

When people said that I should have opted for B. Tech or MBBS, I knew I don't want and didn't pay any heed to anyone's opinion. Family had been damn, supportive, though 😇

Since my tenth, I do follow the advice of my school's director and believe in striving for things, I deserve without paying attention to anything, and anyone. 😊

I guess, this lesson is worth it.

Love you all
