I was a good student till eight grade. When I was promoted to ninth grade I lost my focus on studies. I began to watch movies and listen to music. I began to roam with friends. I took my life casually. Hard work was not listed in my dictionary. I was aware of the consequences but never understood their impact on my future. I thought intelligence would take me through but it was just the beginning of the worse.
I went to school regularly. I took notes in the lectures but never revised it at home. I never practice the maths sums and science numerical by hiding the book. At the end of the first terminal I started feeling the burden. I decided to cheat in exams but was caught. Nature responded. I failed in maths and science in the first semester. Students who were behind me passed in all the subjects.
Nature gave me the second chance to improve. I began to study with full excitement. I revised the notes and started to practice the math sums and science numerical. I was happy with my progress but my enthusiasm faded with time. In the middle of the semester I started behaving similar to first terminal. Same thing happened with me in the second terminal. I again failed in maths and science.
In the third terminal I was under huge pressure. I had to clear all the subjects to get promoted to tenth grade. A single mistake would make me repeat the ninth grade. The margin of error was low. A small mistake would be lethal. This time I was a little cautious. I began to revise the things taught in the class. I practice the difficult sums which would fetch me more marks. The effort to get the desired result was very low. Somehow managed to pass in all subject and was promoted. Again nature responded. I scored very low in all subjects.
I was unhappy but the precious time has passed. I was helpless. It reminded of Nature. She is a great tutor. She gave me signals to change myself. She never enforced anything on me. She has a silent language. She never scolds you for your mistakes. She gives you chance to rectify it. It was my sole decision to take it or ignore it. I ignore so I paid a huge price.

Not doing as well as we might
Not doing as well as we might have done is disppointing, but we there are lots of things in life that we can try at.
