Never Feel Sorry For Yourself

After my 12th boards result, I was very happy beacuse I had scored more marks than Iwas actually expecting. Now it was the time for me to get admission into a college. There was a college in which Ialways dreamed of studying, I submittedmy form there with no level of expectation. When the selection list was uploaded,I found that I was selected for admission. I was again very happy and my family was extremelyproud of me.

I had a lot of expectations regarding my college. I thoughtthat I will make lots of friends, I was happy that finally I was getting rid of my boring school dress,I expected to dressup fancy for my college, I would wear makeup which Iwas not able to do in my school, I thoughtof bunking classes and everything that a teenager would expect.

On the first day of my college, my experience was totally opposite of what I expected it would be. Moreover I felt very inferior than my fellow classmates. They were so good in everything. They looked perfect, the way they were speaking was so good, they were smart, they were confident.I was amazed to see how confident they were while talking to the teacher, to the senoirs and I was nothing infront of them. I was scared of the teachers and of the seniors and also from my classmates. I felt like a loser that day. I was consumed with inferiority. That day I felt so sorry.I came home hugged my mother and started crying

On that day maa explainedme to never feel sorry for myself. She made me understand how self-absorbed I was. How I was just thinking of myself and my expectations. How I was not able to appreciate the things around me. How I behaved like a kid with a closed mind. Just because my expectationswere not met I took everything in a negative way. She aksed me to change my perspective on things. She made me understand how I could learn so many things from those extremely talented people. How they could help me to bring the best out of me.

Being sorry and upset sometimes can just not solve your problem. You have to think from others perspective too. You have to place yourself in someone else's shoes. Then you'll feel how other peopleare facing the same situation that you are facing. Never feel sorry for yourself because you are not less than anybody else.
