Fail-ure

In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Praise be to Allah,
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds,
and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran

Why am I not studying in India even though I did my A-Levels in KTT to go to India?

Yes, why?

To fellow KTT-ians, apparently, it is so obvious it was because I didn't pass the required cut-off point set by JPA.



Which is why I am now doing my degree in Dentistry in USM.


And also, why am I still in my first year even though I am nearing the age of 22?

Because I failed my first year.




Entered KTT at the age of 18 --> A-Levels for 1 and a half years --> Out of KTT by the age of 20 --> Enters USM at the age of 21 ---> Repeating first year at the age of 22


See? My life is so colourful. Heh.

Anyways, I might seem bitter about it but heck no, I'm not.

In fact, I am now really content with my life



 and in fact, I am really glad that I had to repeat my first year because apparently, when I learn the same thing the second time, I understand what I learn better and alhamdulillah, so far I passed all my medical exams, unlike last year, where I failed every tests.



The reason why I made a post on this is because I'm just bored of repeating my story again and again whenever the aforementioned question is posed to me.




Anyways, I guess the problem lies when we fail to see that failure is actually a step towards development/improvement. Failure is actually normal. And I wouldn't say that it is a failure if it somehow manage to shape you towards a better human, don't you think?

Learn to embrace mistake & failures as simply a part of life. You never know what comes after and sometimes, things that you obtain afterwards will make you realize that actually those failures are really nothing to sweat about.

If you can't fly overseas, SO WHAT?

If you can't pass your exam first time round, SO WHAT?

If you get rejected by someone you like, I'm saying this again, SO WHAT?

In fact, ask yourself this, will this matter in 5 years time? Will it?


But, if you fail to die as a believer, then there it is, the ULTIMATE FAILURE.


So as long as you're still alive, you're still able to correct your mistakes, you're still able to repent.

But once you're dead, then there's no turning back & there's nothing you can do if you fail to die as a believer/Muslim.

So, if you think that your life has ended when you failed your exam/whatever, think again.

Remember, per angusta ad angusta. Which means, through difficulties to triumph/great things.

We have to believe He does."
