Let me narrate you story about Fear oF Failure

No one wanted himself to be labeled as failed student. Actually, we are more afraid of society and society pressure. We always remain cautious that about society. The one line which always remain in our minds is "what will people say about this & that?"

So.... My fear was not actually of failure but it was fear of society. I was scared that if I failed then I will see backlash from every side. Stress was constant friend in those days.

It was time of lockdown when everything was sealed, closed and erased. Educationally, it was mean time for me. I did my college and it was time to take admission in university. I had to take admission in medical university because every family over here wants his children to be in medical field.

My result was above the expectations and now parents and relatives were expecting me to be in medical college. There was only one step left .... Entry Test for Medical colleges and universities....

My father took me to Lahore, a big, famous and populated city, where dreams come true. I was happy to find myself in that city for which I ever dreamt. I was overjoyed and in that overjoy I was forgetting my main purpose.

I was in Lahore to prepare myself for entry test but in the lights of Lahore I was lost. I was lost in the glimmering beauty of city. I was lost in friends and cheers. Things were becoming normal for me. I was not taking any stress of studies. My usual routine was to sleep, eat and be marry. I used to sleep for hours and hours. I neglected my studies and i was highly indulged in parties and stuff like that.

Soon... Time of entry test arrived. On the day of test, my father was standing outside my hostel. I went with him to examination hall. My father wished me best of luck and he prayed for me. I was tensed, nervous and stressed. The duress of competition was enough to push me in stress.

Well, I took exam without any solid preparation. Exam was easy for me and I thought that I will easily pass this exam. Failure was going to be completely new thing for me. After exam, my father and mother asked me that how was your exam? I replied; I did it with confidence and I am confident that I will make my way in medical college. In short, I made my parents happy with my statements.

Few days later, result was announced and on my result card, it was written in bold "Failed". I was perplexed and it was paradoxical situation for me to handle. I thought about my parents, questions and society. All the dreams of my parents are on the verge to be broken down and I was thinking of pile of questions which are yet to come.

Holding all the courage in my heart, I went to my father and told him that "I failed". For a moment, he was shocked that how his brilliant boy could fail exam. It was unbelievable for my parents. But, my father and mother gave confidence to me. They gave me lesson that failure is part of life. It's symbol of success. So, no need to worry. I was happy that my father supported me. Even he motivated me to do anything whichever I wanted to do. It was a surprise moment for me. Although their dreams were broken but they were confident over me. It was like I won everything in this world.

No doubt, I failed but I took admission in other field which is none other than "English literature and linguistics". Initially, this subject was completely alien to me and I cried that where I am and what I am doing. With the passage of time, I learned, read and made my way through this field. Now I am happy with my decision and I know that English only is my field forever.
