Two days ago, I went to university to get my exam card. It was rather unpleasant day because I was out of focus that made me go back and forth almost four times to get all the necessary documents. I had a mixed feeling about that day, but while I was waiting my turn in front of the waiting room, I sat next to a girl who out of nowhere started greeting me in English. Then, that's when we started exchanging short yet meaningful conversation.And, among all the questions she asked, there was one that caught more of my attention.

Are you afraid of failure?

My instant answer that moment was,I am not afraid. Ofcourse, after that she asked my further explanation. To which I replied,I am not afraid of failure because I always think and experience life as if I am in a roller coaster ride.Similarly,my amom used to say life is like a moving wheel- sometimes you are up, middle, down, you just never know. All you have to do is enjoy each minute of it and move on.

My road to success;becoming the person I want to be is not always easy. There are days when I lost my hope and I just want to quit. Yet, there are days when I notice my hardwork pays off and it motivates me to do better.

I think I am quite observant and I have seen a lot of failures personally and even from people around me. I always try to learn from their mistakes or what caused them having a moment they refer as "failure".

I have failed multiple times and the fact that I often make it through, change my outlook on life. I am trying to see it more in an optimistic way.I have hope which includes believing in a good result but also the willingness to do what it takes to reach the goals.

Furthermore,I have seen life through the pessimistic side and I've come to understanding that if I want to be successful as per my standard, I have to start seeing setbacks as a challenge rather than a failure. I might sort of "fail" in the future but I can always get back up again; just like I did for the past 21 years.

Now, Are You Afraid of Failure?
