AGAINST ALL ODDS

-

 What do you do when you fail? Go back to the drawing board to research on how to be better or simply just give up. Please allow me to use the academic means of assessment in the university as an analogy to the journey of life. All the student got admitted into School regardless their background or foundations,they are exposed to the same lectures and lecturers under the same learning circumstances and condition. 

However, during exams some students are graded A, some B while another set C till we get to P and F. My emphasis is on the student with 'F' which stands for Fail. How  did the student who left his parent to study for a degree in an academic environment end up with 'F'? It is okay to get grade 'F' at school but the main issue is how do you take it. Allow me to add here that it is okay to fail in life but what do you do about it?

Some people may counter my position with the view that corruption in the country is  part of the reason for their failure. 'Make I continue my tory from here' Remember I asked what the student with grade 'F' will do, oh i forgot to add that whether he likes it or not, a carry over is waiting at the corner which must be passed before such student can proceed to the next level without hitches. Now let's apply to life, when we fail,do we leave the carry over and forget the next level or come back better to move to the next level in grand style with better experience because you have gone through that path Before.

This is just some few words of encouragement to anyone out there who has seen him or herself as a failure. I say this again to you, it is okay to fail but after failing, what will you do?
