Learning from mistakes

I was studying, suddenly my phone rang. The person on the phone wanted to speak with me. When I heard the full sentence, I end the call and was speechless. My mind was running through each and every thought. At first I didn’t believe what I heard. I closed the books and went out of my room. I tried to gain consciousness. What should I do now? Whom to share this message with? I was perplexed at this situation. My semester exams were near and my health condition was not good. I had to go to hospital for almost two weeks for checkup. My health condition was not good and on top of that I heard the news which was not pleasant at all. I had to leave the college because of some reasons.

This incidence happened in 2012 and that changed my way of thinking towards studies. I used to take studies lightly and the results were in front of me. I regret, if I had made an extra effort I would not have to suffer what I went through. After I heard the news I shared this with my parents and they were also speechless. Back of my mind I was thinking what I have done. My parents sent me far from them for me to study well and grow in my life, but exactly the opposite happened. I was a bit stressed as to what to do next and how to face my family members. Though my parents didn’t scold me nor shouted at me but instead motivated me not to be sad and be focused. But inside of my heart I felt very bad because of me the people in the society would point fingers to my parents. The society which we live in is unpredictable. If you do something good it’s fine, but if you do something bad then there would be hundreds of them to point a finger on us. I went to my home after this incidence and it became difficult to live with this regret. Whenever the relatives came to visit my home I used to tell that I came because of my vacations. It became really hard for me and my parents to deal with this. I was not able to face the society as the same way that I used to earlier. This was my entire fault and that led me to decide something else for my life.

Life is not full of roses, I came to realize at this stage of my life. In order to survive we have to struggle hard. This incidence made me stronger from inside. As the past was gone and I could not change it, but the future was in my hand and I promised to myself that I would make my parents feel proud in the future. Later I joined my bachelors’ degree in Dehradun and started working hard. And as the saying goes if you work hard success will automatically be yours. I roped in the first position in two of my end semester exams. And from that moment I haven’t looked back. I keep on studying hard and enjoy during the studies. In doing so, I make my parents feel proud and happy.

You will not be serious unless you go through some situations in life. But if you learn from the mistakes you make then you are the greater achievers in life. Now whenever I call to my parents and say about my results I sense a feeling of happiness and am satisfied. My family members stood with me in my tough times and due to which I came to realize the importance of studies in life. I don’t believe what the people will say if I do this and what they will say if I do that. Life comes just once and if we miss this opportunity to express ourselves and confine ourselves to what people will say, then we are wasting our life. I learned many things from this experience in my life. Most important of all to respect my parents as they were the one to motivate me and now I am fully aware of the results of hard work in life. Many people will come across your way and try to deviate you from your motive but be focused and don’t let the outside world destroy your life. Life is difficult and unpredictable but if you work hard success could be yours.

Life is beautiful, share love among each other and be happy in your work.  This was my experience of life which made me a better person from inside and taught me many things. I don’t know what lies ahead of us but am pretty sure that I will be able to achieve what I want in my life and would make my parents even more proud and happier. I love you mom, I love you dad. Its only because of your help and support and most of all your love that made me what I am today. I still work hard and am focused towards my life. A bit emotional right now I am but would just want to say respect your parents, love them and share love among all and learn from mistakes you make in your life.
