have you done things in your life that made you feel awful and make you think that you're a failure? if you have, what did you do to make things right again? or can you still get out of that misery?

when i took driving lessons as well, at first i felt nervous but what i did was to relax. try some breathing exercises to relax then maybe you'd gain confidence in taking the driving test. ('.')

At times such a though comes to my mind, but I have seen that such thoughts make our life more miserable. So I always tell my mind that there is nothing I cannot do in this world to make it a success and it is true if youc oncentrate and hardwork, anything can be achieved in this life. I had failed several times, I cam back to make it a success.

oh yes definitely, i screwed up my life so many times and whew! thank God i made it through. the best part of this is that i have learned by lessons, though the hard way, but its okay. I believed in Him coz i know in time, everything will fall into places, i know, i just trusted Him. He definitely has His ways in order to make life enticingly supple and exciting. Everything happens for a reason...

Oh yes i have!! the thing that i've done is make wrong in choosing course. after i've graduated in diploma i stated want to futher more.
My friends advice me to choose accounting o marketing course but i refused it. i choose the course that i also do not know anything about it.
because of this my examination become worst and i only got bachelor in second class lower.
i'm very regret and until know i only work as a general clerk even i'm bachelors holder.Most of my friends become successful people except me.
but know i should improve myself and my intention is i want to futher / continue my study back even taking diploma certificate in education. So with this certificate i can improved myself. And fulfill my dreams which is one day i want to become a teacher/lecturer.

i guess failure teaches us that we are weak and need support from other people. and that it teaches us to be humble. the experienced we get everytime we fail teaches us to be wiser and stronger and more power to face our adversity.
yes sometimes looking back, i think i do have shares of failures, in business, relationship, friendship, family ties, etc. it somehow leaves a very scaring mark in our confidence. But one should look at each lenses of failure and get lessons from it inorder to help us succeed in the future and have a more meanigful life.
