My best dad’s advice

Two years ago, I didn’t do well in my JEE exams, and it made me feel really bad. Instead of telling people my rank, I chose to go to a less famous college because I was embarrassed and scared of what others would think if they know my rank.

Back then, I didn’t want to ask for advice from anyone. I was too afraid of being judged for my rank, so I kept it to myself and lied about my rank.

I avoided getting help or advice from others because I didn’t want to admit my rank, and I was scared of being made fun of. I was so worried about looking like a failure that I isolated myself and made decisions based on my own fears.I gave up completely. I thought that if I go to small college then I wont have to say about my rank to anyone

But my dad had a different way of looking at things. And this has to be the best advice

When u are already in misery don,t dig it more by feeling shameful, guilt and anxious

Looking back, my dad’s advice was important. If I kept focusing on feeling bad and let shame control my choices, it would have made me even more miserable. It was a turning point when I started to rethink how I approached things. I realized that having a positive mindset and taking small steps forward could make my academic journey more fulfilling.
