I scored a good percentage in my class 12 boards. Yet, I could not perform the best to my capacity. I used to cry each day after the exam, and every exam got ruined because of my mindset- that I am not delivering what others expect of me, and what I expect of myself. I started getting very anxious about everything, and even started blaming my best friend for my failure. Now when I look back and see, I am where I needed to be, and I’m glad I’m here. Failure makes you realise the importance of success and hard work, it has done so for me.
