Confidence...
Confidence is a very important thing. It really can determine whether you can do something well or not. It's the factor that pull you through hard times and the one that let you breeze through easy ones.
Just take myself for example, recently there was this module called HMK1 - Korean. It was really difficult of me to pick up an entirely new subject at this stage in time. It's like relearning english all over again. Except we do this in a extremely short duration of 12 weeks. All the vocabulary, gammer, sentence structure, verbs etc etc have to be memorised and be well verse in.
I just remember i screw up an important part of the curriculum which is the persentation part. At that point of time, i had totally no confidence in korean at all. My whole mind was all about S/U the subject as soon as possible and i did it at that very night itself. However, as time goes by, i begin to start picking up korean very quickly. I won't say it was a breeze but i would say that it wasn't as difficult as i think it was. Then there comes the long awaited final examination for this module. As expected, it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. I probably could have gotten a pretty decent grade if i didn't decide to S/U it.
It all boils down to one thing.
Confidence!!!
Yes, humans are very weak. There are points in time whereby you won't have confidence in yourself. However, the lesson to take away is that you must not give up or fall into self-pity during those period of time. It is of upmost importance to get back your source of confidence again. We must not falter over a moment of set back. Who knows what is planned ahead for us in the future. Something good may awaits us if we just bare our teeth and walk straight into the future that await us.
Trading a possible A for a life lesson.
Priceless =)
