Some times we realise that we didn't got what we deserved. I am sure that you would have also gone through that phase when you felt so low that you even put a question mark on your ability which once were the spinal cord of your success. This gruesome question crossed ma mind a few days back when a company visited and some students got selected at good package while some other students who had a habit of outclassing the latter bunch for the past 4 years were reeling at a low package firm.
Now they are brooding,what went wrong?? why they are suffering at the end of day??
first thing I would like to say to these people is "It is not the end of day".To be true its the starting of your life. it doesn't matter from where you start,what matters most is you speed. Sooner or later you will achieve what you deserve.Maybe he got lucky today that doesn't mean he will do better than you for the rest of your life.One thing everybody should understand that between two points you can always draw a line. what i am trying to convey is that there is always a way through which you can reach your goal from your current position. what you have to do is to find that way and start walking on that.
Comparing is the the second thing on which people should reappraise their views. You should compare only for getting what qualities you lacked than your friends. It should never be a source of depression or jealousy.Alas the latter case is abundantly found among youths. Somebody gets a better job doesn't means that he got lucky or you are a failure, it means that it was just not your day it also give you hint to you do some self assessment and find out what areas you were lacking.
See we have got a long life and since we are at the door of our professional world we should make sure that we have evolved not only technically but also mentally.We should be prepare to withstand the trauma of failure and the joy success with same ease. We have to understand that sometimes we don't get what the results we were hoping for, but that doesn't mean that we should stop working.
Its a long journey one or two hiccups will not matter what will matter is the way we achieved it and one thing i can assure you that the more problems you faced, the more rejection you dealt with, will bring more suspense and happiness to your grandchildrens when you will narrate your life story to them. Imagine that day, I hope you will get the zeal and energy to stand and start walking towards your goal.
