Today I took my Japanese test at the Ghi Moh language centre. Later, as I walked out of the examination room, I felt rather gloomy and solemn. Tears nearly flooded my eyes as I helplessly dragged my feet home under the afternoon shower. Every step I took seemed to take an eternity and I constantly stepped on puddles of water which lead me to stop and muse to myself "I am so gonna fail my Jap. test."
Failure. .To me, I would consider it to be a lethal and harmless poison that is sometimes best avoided. A failed attempt may result in a lifelong trauma. Failure may also lead to eternal regret and the ending of one's life. But despite all that, it is still how we see failure and react to it that matters - with every episode of failure, emerges one who will be stronger. In turn, forgetting the yesterday and preparing to face the tomorrow.
So I felt horrible after today's Japanese test but this episode of failure reminds us of one thing; that it is still not the end of the world and that we all long for the day when we are able to do things well. So I figured, why am I to let this part of life stop me from pressing onwards and pursuing my dreams? Just pack up my troubles and dump them away for they do not make me a better person when I look back and mull about them. Thus the way I see it , "Fail then fail lah. Live to fight again another day!!
