R E W I N D @ G U T S !

Jessica is a good scholar.She has good study habits.She is one of those people who study on their own with pleasure.She is comfortable with herself and her academic achievements....or i should say she was .At the moment she is apprehensive and scared.What brought her to this state is the past year...
The past one year was tough to say the least.She had appeared for her public exams ,handled them well ,scored well , appeared in her competitive exams .She is planning to be an engineer , not an easy task .It means two years of study , than appear in an exam to get into an institute .Than five years of study to earn a degree .Than two years of study to do specialisation.


Definitely not an easy task.But one she was all set for.However it did not happen. She failed to get in an institute of her choice .Now she realised that a vast ocean of indifference stretched between her and the rest of the world..they could not understand her feelings.She was alone, truly alone.When you succeed there are many to share in that success but when you fail ...You stand alone.She floundered in a quicksand of indecisiveness , loneliness and sheer desperation..


"tough luck "said her companions and moved on ,"part of life "said her parents and went about the business of day to day living ,"think of other options now "said her teachers and went about correcting new term papers....
"I will try again "said this determined girl and went about the difficult job of beginning from the scratch.
To try again....implies courage ,determination and will power...it also implies criticism from some derision from others...it also means having an unshakable belief in one's own vision and capabilities.Many a nights she was so scared of future that she could not sleep a wink ; many a days she was so wound up that she was unable to eat a bite .But give up...she would not!

She would not give up....she would not...and that's what makes her a winner in my book.
It does not matter how many times you fall down ,what matters is how many times you get up....for that is true courage !
