One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do. However, if we never work hard to achieve success, there will always be failure rather than success for our whole life.

Bucking up is the way to go. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Therefore, I'm setting a new goal for myself to avoid myself from stepping into the deplorable situation that I got myself into. I shall steer clear of parties and hang outs and just stay home, listen to music, play music, swotting and cramming. University is the course of life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. My grades are going downhill. My friends are running out. Which one should I make an effort to make it right? To put the record straight, of course it would be my education. I will be revising and cramming from now on.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. I shall not dissipate my life for the sake of fun. As the saying goes, "Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him." I would like to express my sense of gratitude to my one and only brother for dawning this lesson on me.
