Overconfidence Drops You To The Ground

Hello Everyone! I am back with new blog.

So, I will tell you my story when I was in 12th standard. So, I always wanted to be a doctor since my childhood. I took Biology as a subject in my 11th standard. Although, my favorite subject was Mathematics but I wanted to be doctor, so I took Bio. In 11th standard, I was told by my parents to change my field to Mathematics as according to them I could do my best in that but I was stubborn and I continued with Biology. During my 11th standard, I took Mathematics as my additional subject so that I can have opportunities related to both the subjects. But it became very difficult for me to handle both the subjects and I left Mathematics and took Computer Science as my subject. Computer Science was very interesting subject but I was studying that subject only to increase my score. I was not understanding the language, I was just cramming. I scored good in my 11th standard in Computer Science but my score of Biology was not good. I didn't understood that this subject is not made for me and I continued. During my 12th standard, I did hard work and I scored good in Biology and I started understanding the subject. I was goo in Physics and Chemistry, so I am not taking about those subjects. My 12th pre-board came, I studied very hard and scored good, I got confident that yes I can do and I can compete with the toppers of my class. But I was overconfident in Computer Science as I was just cramming that subject. My teacher gave the programs that she taught in class in our pre- board that boost up my over- confidence but this can't happen during boards. We don't even know what kind of questions came in there. So, before my boards, I understood Biology and I was so tensed for Computer Science as I was not getting anything when I reached near my boards. 

Board started and my exams went good. My Physics exam was not that good as I have prepared but then I did hard work for my other subjects. Then my second last exam was of Computer Science. I was losing confidence as well as my interest in studying the subject. I don't know how I prepared the subject as I was always overthinking. Somehow, I completed the syllabus and I didn't even knew what have I learnt and what have I understood. I just went to give my exam.

After receiving question paper in my hand, I went blank. My body became cold, there was darkness in front of my eyes and I was shivering as I don't know anything. It feels that I forgot everything I have read during my 12th. I first thought of choosing other language and doing that. But then I somehow took control of myself and asked myself: Is that you? You wanna give up so early?

After giving myself about half an hour when everyone is writing and I was just sitting. I started writing. I was able to do my theory questions and I did my best in theory questions. But when I reached on programming questions where I need to write programs, I again went blank. I was like I didn't even knew the basic but the reality is that I knew the basics. I didn't know how to write a program as I was just cramming the whole year. I somehow gathered the confidence and started writing. I wrote the programs without knowing if it's right or wrong. I was just writing. I finished exam, we all came out. As I scored good in this subject during my tests and pre-boards and I was one of the intelligent student of the subject, everyone came to me and asked about my exam. 

At that time, I wanted to cry hard but I can't because those were expecting something from me that I knew that I would not be able to achieve. It was very hard time for me. I didn't tell anyone about my paper as I don't want to talk about that.

But after this incidence, I have learnt a very important lesson of my life. One should never be over- confident about anything. If you have any talent, be it. Don't show off because may be the person in front of you is more talented than you but he is silent. He knows that he can do better but he is not telling. That's the difference between a over-confident person and a normal person.

Spread your knowledge. 

Everyday is not a good day. Somedays are bad and may be worst. 

It's completely your wish to tell anyone about the incidence but what's more important?

LEARNING!

You will get to LEARN FROM EACH AND EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE.

It totally depends on you, how you take it. Or you wanna take it or not.

After this heart break, I worked hard and I have achieved something which I always wanted to. I will tell you this part of the story in my next blog.

For that you need to follow me.

Have a great day!

STAY HOME, STAY SAFE, STAY HEALTHY.

I will be back with my new blog, till then stay tuned.
