Why I Am Glad I Failed My 'O' Level Exams

Maybe you failed your 'O' Levels, maybe you didn’t. Maybe you are studying again now and maybe you've moved on with life.  Whichever the case and outcome: Congratulations, you are no different from millions of others who have taken the same examinations. 
 
They all have walked in your shoes, and some have even succeeded. 
 
Why? 
 
Because failing your 'O' Levels is a rite of passage for many students. But it's only after having failed these exams that I can honestly say I am glad I did so. Here’s why...
 
 

YOU WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT.

 

And this applies to both the good and bad that comes with failing your 'O' Levels. If you have failed, you have likely learned a thing or two about yourself along the way. 
 
Among these things, you will have discovered what you want in life. You will also have a better idea of what you don't want.
 
 

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO FAIL GRACEFULLY

 
It's important to understand that passing or failing your 'O' Levels is a part of life. It's something that happens to millions of people every year. And you are no different from them.

So just accept it, and move on. Failing your 'O' Level should be celebrated as a milestone in your life. You can take it as a sign that you are well on your way to achieving what you want in life.
 
 

YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME-MANAGEMENT

 
You may have failed your 'O' Levels, but you will have learned the importance of time management. Every moment is a new beginning that can be used to catalyze your growth. 
 
Time is the most precious asset you have. And it's only when you have failed that you realize how necessary it is to manage the ticking clock. 
 
You will grow to understand the importance of prioritizing important tasks, and making time for yourself as well.
 
 

YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO TACKLE EXAMS YOU HATE.

 
To succeed in life, you first have to be willing to fail. And this is true for failing exams you hate.
 
You may have failed a particular subject, but that doesn’t mean you are any less intelligent than those who have passed. 
 
It just means that you have yet to understand the importance of that subject.
 

CONCLUSION

You may have failed your 'O' Levels, but you will have learned the importance of time management. 
 
To succeed in life, you first have to be willing to fail. It's important to understand that passing or failing your 'O' Levels is a part of life. 
 
It's something that happens to millions of people every year. And you are no different from them. So just accept it, and move on. 
 
You will grow to understand the importance of prioritizing important tasks, and making time for yourself as well.
