One time I failed and the lesson I learnt
<p><br></p><p>I have always been an A-student, excelling academically from primary school through senior secondary school. However, after waiting three years to gain university admission, I started my first year with a strong 4. GPA. </p><p>Seeing this achievement, I became complacent and reduced my study efforts in the second semester. As a result, my CGPA dropped to 4.0/5.0. Unfortunately, I still didn’t take it as a warning. I continued with the same lax attitude, and my CGPA fell further to 3.55/5.0. </p><p><br></p><p>It was at that point that reality hit me—I was heading in the wrong direction. If I wanted to graduate with a first-class degree, which had always been my primary academic goal, I needed to change my approach immediately. </p><p><br></p><p>While a 3.55 GPA might be a great achievement for some, for me, it was a personal setback because it meant I was drifting away from my academic goal. This made me realize that success is defined by individual aspirations, and I needed to stay committed to mine.</p><p><br></p><p>This experience taught me that consistency is key to sustained success. I realized that past achievements do not guarantee future excellence if effort is not maintained. More importantly, I learned that failure is relative- What's okay for person A, might be very poor for person B.<br></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">What does failure mean to you? Is it a setback or a stepping stone?</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">I would love to know your thoughts in the comment section.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
