Yes, circumstances may be beyond one’s control, but failure can always be avoided.
It’s natural to feel intimidated when preparing for competitive exams, especially those that can make or break a career. There are those who pass the exam and move on, and then there are those who do not pass the exam on their first try for whatever reason. As a result, such aspirants experience a sense of demotivation when they attempt to retake the exam.
Yes, the circumstances may be beyond one’s control, but failure can always be avoided.
Accept responsibility for what occurred and accept failure. Accepting it does not make you a loser; rather, it allows you to move forward.
Examine where you went wrong during the exam or during your preparation. Make sure you don’t make the same mistake again.
Change your focus to a pleasurable activity, such as a hobby you gave up in preparation for the exam. Taking a step back and enjoying mundane activities can sometimes help one get back on track. It is critical to take a break from studying.
Consider your previous success and how you achieved it. This will boost your confidence and inspire you to work harder to replicate your success.
Believe in your abilities. You have power over your life and the decisions you make. Don’t question yourself because the moment you begin to doubt your actions, trouble will ensue.
Never lose sight of your objectives or why you are working so hard. At the end of the day, how you deal with failure determines the type of person you will be. So get up and inspire yourself to start over.
