Failure

I failed two subjects last semester.
What I feared most was to tell my parents. I can already imagine the disappointing face on them.
When I told my friends, they gave all sort of feedback. Most of them will ask me to submit for appeal against the result.

But I started to ask myself, why did I fail?
I went and consult my lecturer and he told me that I am not the only person who failed but there was a high percentage of people who also failed.

My parents asked me why did this happen. I said I don't know. but most of the time in my mind I was blaming the person who set the question paper. I know its wrong.. so I kept it in.

Very commonly, when something bad happen to us, we will tend to blame it on others. There are chances where we convince ourselves that it was not our fault so we should not blame ourselves.

But what I think is that we should calm our self down, and reflect back on what we should do. Realize that mistakes and be prepapred for the future. My mother will say " Don't need to cry over spilled milk" and look forward to strive through and excel in it.

We should not blame it on others when things happen, we just need to remind our self that we need to do better next time.
