The lesson about Failure.

Heyz people. I'm not gonna post about "My Failures". I'm just posting the "lesson about failure"...

Today's a friday. I was home, the whole day....Was freaking fed up with doing my project. i really duwanna bother much about it anymore actually. But i know, i cannot. The project is the most important thing in Yr3, aka Final Year. I'm in hot soup now. I really have no idea how to continue doing that project. I dono how to do it, i dono how to finish it. Dun say finish la, i don even know how to START it!!!!

Anyway, i was invited to CG today. After thus long~~~ So i went, despite being caught in the rain and nearly freezing to death. I went in the house, all soaky wet....And have to lan si abit say i not cold at all, while i was pretty cold actually~ Hahahahahhaha....I think i was late, coz no sing praise and worship today....Lol....

And then, lesson start lo. Sister Katrina taught.....oops~ i mean, Sister Karena thought for the night. The lesson is about "Failure".

Failure has many substantials....There can be failure in feelings, in situations, thoughts, people, heart, expressions, colour (Lol this is weird), and etc....Why so many failures one will ask? Well....After an entire session at the CG, and after consulting a friend, it comes to conclusion that....Failures happen, so that we can learn from it. We, as humans, will never learn, unless we have to bear the consequences of the wrong that we did, of the negligence that we have once had. There's a saying..."No pain, no gain." Right???

Failures happen in everyday life....regardless of age, sex, race, religion, etc etc. But....What do we do when we face failure? For me....As i have shared in CG today....My biggest failure was failing an entire exam. Its not just a normal exam....Its a MAJOR exam....Its a final year exam. And yea, i failed all papers.....I failed all 4 papers. I really lost hope that time. I totally lost myself and fled into another world. A world of gloom and sorrow. A world that despises oneself and a world that sucks of all the "essence of sanity" from my soul within.....

But thankfully, i have support. From a few friends, God, and family....i was knocked back into reality. Being knocked out into sense and facing reality isn't a really nice thing to do. Cause the truth hurts....Well...I did pick myself up, and yeah....With God's grace, i managed to pass all 4 papers, less than a month later. What that shocked me was, when i sat for the 4 papers for the 1st time, all 4 papers were held in a 3week span. But the resit, was in a 1 week span. And miraculously, i passed all in that 1 week. I managed to cover an entire year's work, in less than a month. Thank God....

Well, that'll be my own testimony....Failures, are not meant to be a stumbling block for us in life, but failures, are meant to be a STEPPING STONE, for us to rise!!!!

I'll end with this....when we fail, there are only, a few steps....to do. At least, that's what i learned....
1) Acknowledge that you FAIL! (esp guys! dun so egoistic..)
2) Recognize that God understands
3) Forgive urself!!!!
4) Know that failure is perfectly FINE.
5) TRY AGAIN!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, in MY own circle of life, i have a question. Which, all are welcomed to answer....

--> After failing once, what are the odds...of trying again? Will there REALLY be a 2nd chance??
