The higher you aim, the harder u'll fall

It has been a rough week. Trying to fight my emotions was not an easy task. I have confided in a few of my close friends and family, they have been very supportive. Failing the same exam for the second time is not something that I'm used to..

Here are some of the words of encouragement that I received. I won't mention any names to respect their privacy..

'The harder the course, the more rewarding the triumph. Be the best in what you do.'

'Hang in there. There's always next time. It's ok if you take a bit longer, the thing is you'll eventually get there. Just dust yourself off, put up your chin and keep going. I'm sure can do it.'

'You are allowed to be sad and not allowed to give up!'

'I failed that exam twice too. Look where I am now'- from my specialist.

'Take it in your stride, ok? Another hurdle to overcome in life. Anggap sebagai dugaan.'

'Third time is the charm.'

'Forget about it for a few months. Try to get some tips from seniors.'

'Kesiannye..hope you feel better soon.'

The next big question now is ' What will be my next step?'

I am still looking hard for the answer and have not made up my mind. Going through the same experience again won't be easy.

At this point I'm just praying hard so that I'd get a hint/sign of what I should do next.

Couz,

I flunked my CiMA for the 3rd time recently and Tok Ku was really mad at me. I feel that I fail him, but I'm doing whatever I can do this semester. I'm taking weekend classes at TAR College starting this weekend. I hope I'll pass this 4th time.

Hang in there. Trust me, I know how it feels like. I've been through all this for years. Repeating once, repeating twice, passed in one sitting..

May the Force be with us this time around =)

I'm so glad that we're sharing the same boat. At least I know there's someone out there who understands how I feel.

I pray for both of us..
