I had a huge failure after my exams, even if i worked hard for it and most of my dreams fell down after it. All doors closed suddenly, nobody trusted me. Think this movies inspired me to bounce up, all those people who wants to steal your dream just have to be quiet, those stories really help me to bounce up and make my dream come true. As for me if you can dream about it you can do it.

Very inspirational. It is amazing how many very successful individuals had to overcome great setbacks in their lives. They struggled with circumstances and yet managed to move through them successfully and ended up living out their dreams. I think this teaches us to Never Give Up and Never Quit!

I wondered if your teacher was trying to encourage you, essentially saying, “Go on, prove me wrong” and hoping you would. I know that’s unlikely, and it’s a technique I’d never condone or use. You proved your teacher wrong, but I’ll bet she treated other students the same way, and that her attitude did more harm than good.

Well as they say..with power comes responsibility… I have a lot of respect for teachers, it’s one of the hardest jobs there is. They are expected to be exemplary and infallible and most of the time, they live up to this expectation and if they don’t, it’s because they are only human. Monsters however, are the exception — they seek pleasure in making others suffer and it was just unfortunate that I had to meet one.

Thanks for that story. As a teacher, I sometimes forget that my words have the power to heal as well as to harm . I am glad to hear you were able to find a larger paradigm to see your life in than a test score! Funny how once you did, you blew the test scores away ;)

@Dory – Thank you Dory.

@Benny – Good quote.

@Fearless – It’s true not everyone has the determination. I was also extremely blessed and fortunate to have support and encouragement from my family.:)
