Haiz... Deathy, I share something with you. You listen well and
good...
I was always a pretty good student and always got into the
school/course of my choice. UNTIL... I went to JC. In the
beginning, I did well, but then, due to paktor-logy, I didn't get
fantastic results for my 'A' levels. Suddenly, for the first time
in my life, I couldn't proceed any further!! 
I spent the next few months utterly depressed. None of my friends
did well either, but their families could afford to send them
overseas for further studies. My mom was so upset that although she
agreed to let me re-take my 'A' levels as a private candidate, she
never gave me peace over it at home. Finally, I couldn't take it
anymore so I decided to forget about re-taking altogether... how to
study in such an environment, right? 
Anyways, my first big failure in school taught me ONE HUGE
lesson... I shall NEVER fail again!
And guess what, since then, for most of my courses, I not only
passed, I won awards or did exceptionally well. 
And I did it all because I never forgot my failure... and it fired
me up to do well.
So, learn from your failures. Never forget the lessons you learn
from failures!
