Failure is inevitable

From my past blog post, I have only highlight on my great day. The day I got my scholarship, how my email got reply and how to do excel in a group interview. As for today, I wanted to share my failure story. I am not really used to failure because since I was in Kindergarten until end of high school, I always get to be to the top of my class. 

But everything take a turn when I enter my University, here in UTP I met a lot of people who are way better than me. At some point in life, I started question my self-worth. It is not easy to adapt to this new situation. Remember when I said I fail the RSCU interview back in my first year. It took me the whole semester to regain my self confident back to attend another interview.

For someone, who is not used to failure I can really be so hard on myself. I believe everyone got their own story when it comes to failure. I feel uncomfortable talking about this at the beginning because it is certainly not something I am proud of. However, no matter how difficult it may seem, like it or not we have to carry on. It is going to be hard to regain back the self-confident that we once had but at least we try.

After I fail my interview, I give myself some time to process the situation. Just because I got rejected by a club that does not mean I am not qualified for all the club in UTP. I start to understanding and analyse where did I do wrong. I then have come to realisation that I actually did not come prepared at all and was hoping for some miracle to happen during my interview. After I realize of my wrongdoing, then I learn how should I avoid the same mistake and apply it to my interview. Alhamdulillah after that, I made it almost every interview I when to in my university. This is why I like UTP because we are given the exposure of how we should prepare ourselves for an interview.

I think what I am trying to deliver in this post is that, it is okay to fail but we need to learn from it. Do not be demotivated because there are so many opportunity available. What if we already try our best but still fail. Does that mean that we are useless. For a moment, we may feel like that. However, we would not have any regret because we know that we try our best. That is the beauty of putting effort into something, we would not have the what if thought. What we can do is trust in Allah plan, after all we are just servant in this world. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not. [2:216]

Sometime, it may be difficult but we need to learn how to look beyond the failure. Have faith that everything happen is for our best. Especially during this COVID-19, not everything happen as we plan, in fact is it sometime opposite from what we plan for. I guest the best thing to do is just accept the reality and go through it.

That is all my writing for today, thank you for reading.
