This is the post from one of my friends . Her feeling expressed and that's it. You would like this.
Failure!
I faced it today… very badly. Yes I failed
in something that I thought I would be able to do! I felt like a complete
loser…. I even told myself that I suck, “XYZ, you suck”
Jab kabhi bade kuch bole toh sunn leni
chahiye unki baat, varna pachtaaoge!
Today morning I was warned by my Mom for
not driving. She had explicitly told me that “There will be too many cars on
the roads, its heavy traffic time. Please DO NOT drive”. And I cared 2 hoots
about that. I was super confident that I would be able to take it through.
I knew my weakness. I knew where I lacked.
I had faced similar situations before. In spite of that, I decided to drive the
car today. As I was driving, my car stopped on the highway. It stopped multiple
times. It may have stopped 3-4 times. I looked like an absolute fool, trying to
start my car every time it stopped. Too many people were honking behind my car.
There was an Auto driver who even came and abused me. He called me a ‘Mother
fucker’. I felt like crying at that moment. I was in the middle lane, trying to
start my car. I tried 2-3 times but I could not start it. Finally there wasn’t
any option and I had to start my car. It was a bit of a slope and my car moved
behind. I pulled the emergency brake immediately. Didn’t know what to do, just
did what I felt was right at that moment. There was a maroon colored Honda city
behind my car. I guess I almost bumped my car into it. But pulled the emergency
brake at the right time.
My only motive at that point of time was to
take the car in the left most lane and to call a friend for help. Frankly
speaking, after all that happened on the highway, I had lost all my confidence
to drive again. I was praying in pain and trying to drive. With immense
efforts, I skipped a flyover, drove it till the left most lane and parked it in
the side.
I kept calling my friend. As soon as he
came, I broke down. We managed to reach office with the car. He helped me by
driving it till the office from the point this incident occurred. I was out of
my mind. Didn’t know what to do with had happened. I was just not feeling
right. I kept crying badly.
I locked myself in a washroom and kept
crying…
Finally there came a voice. It was my inner
voice. It said “Stop, Stop crying right now”. Champions don’t cry. Papa ki
tarah champion bann na hai na, roke kuch nahi hoga. You have to pick yourself
right now. You have to pick yourself every time you fall. And that’s the only
way to live life.
In this world, there are two kinds of
people.
First category --->
People who sit and sulk. They cry each time they fail and they keep crying
there on.
Second category --->
People who cry each time they fail but they know to pick themselves up. They
work harder every time they fall only to grow up as a “Winner”
And I belong to the second category. I just
won’t give up. This is my life and I am not a loser. I have to work harder than
the previous time, learn from my mistakes and evolve as a driver. I won’t give
up. Yes, I am serious and I mean it.
I will start working on my weaknesses from
today itself. This will ensure that I do better the next time. It doesn’t
matter to fail. Everyone fails. What matters is, how well you pick yourself up
each time you fail. And I am going to do just that.
I will learn what I’m not good at and try
again!!!!
XYZ will fall, she will fail but she will
learn from her mistakes and that’s what matters the most to her. Love and embrace yourself! :)
