Defeat

I'm going to share a experince, a very heart-breaking, yet a experience that gave me hope, strength and courage to fight, work hard and  achive my goal. Last year during the school ending some stipends were given out. I was really excited that I might also recieve one. They announced the names, and I was very disapponited, infact almost heart-broken, because of so high hopes and I was over confident that I deserved one. This was one of the biggest defeats I had ever faced, not because that I did not recieve it, because I had lost a chance to prove myself. That night I kept questioning myself, Why was i not selected? What lacked in me? Was I  loser?. The next morning I read a quote which inspired me, made me think, gave me the courage to try again, this time with a sharp aim. I voved that next year I would work hard, give my best, impress everyone, be oriented and never give up. This year I was so happyand my happiness knew no bounds when they announced my name. It was a  dream come true! I was happy that I ahd finally recieved, but most importantly my hardwork had paid off. Just because I got it this year does 'nt mean that I won't try for it next year!

One defeat brought a lot of change in me. I got more serious and started to think about my future, what I want to be, how I'll work towards it. You should never give up, nothing is impossible. I would like to add that you should always trust your capability.
