A Life Lesson I have learnt

Life is full of experiences. Some experiences leave happy memories with us and make us nostalgic in the future whereas some account for performing the main duty of experiences i.e. teaching us lessons. It teaches the rules of life, consequences of trusting someone more than average, underestimating someone and all other principles which eventually drives us forward in life. A life without experiences is like a question without a solution. If you find find out the solution well and good, but if you fail 'experience' will teach you and explain you the concept of the solution.

I've had the privilege of having a lot of experiences in my life. Though they are still below the average number of experiences, they taught me something that I am always going to remember in my life.

I had once taken part in a Science Congress. I have had the opportunity of participating in several Science Competitions before this, so I was not a newbie, probably the most "experienced" of the all other participants. I had a great idea for my project. I had sat hours and hours to just form the foundation of my project. And it was an idea to combat a real life inconvenience which bothered a lot of commoners. I approached my parents with my idea and even they thought that it was fabulous.

So without any hesitation, I went on to submit my project with that same idea.

My project really was a solution of a real life problem so I was confident about it. But gradually the confidence in myself started transforming into another feeling which happens to be 'over confidence'. Gradually when days went by and the result date was approaching, I was filled with so much over confidence that I started becoming sure about my qualification.

Finally the most awaited day arrived, and as I mentioned, I was so sure that I was just waiting for the official confirmation. In the afternoon the list of qualified students was uploaded on the website. I opened it and I started searching for my name. I searched a total of 251 pages, however I couldn't find my name.

I shattered immediately. I couldn't sort out where did I go wrong. I was consoled by my parents and friends that it was a great project but luck didn't seem to be on my side. But this was not the actual cause.

After a long time I finally found out the issue, the problem was that I became so over confident that I started becoming sure which is very harmful. It is not that the examiners could sense my over confidence, there was something wrong with the project. But this reason of becoming over confident was enough to provide me a reason for my failure.

This was a way in which I understood a very important life lesson which experience taught me. Over confidence never bears fruit in life. I promised myself that I would never embrace over confidence in my entire life and I intend to keep that promise for lifelong.
