Life is a turning wheel

Maybe I'm still too young to talk about life but I'm pretty sure that I had gone through quite a lot of experiences that I can share with you. Life is a turning wheel practically means that our life can actually turn upside down from good to bad or bad to worse. It is just a matter of how we handle that situation. Do not be grumpy nor sad when a test was given to you. Test here is not exams that we have in our school  or whatsoever but test here means the hard times that we are experiencing.


Let me tell you a story that is peculiar but fun to hear.


It's actually about myself. When the teachers announce the date of exams, I will start rushing and find books that are all messy in my room. The best part is that I won't sleep the whole night a day before the exam. I will stay up from 10 at night to 8 in the morning just to squeeze the whole book in my head. I know, I know, it's not good to do that. But actually it works, SOMETIMES. During the exam, my eyes will get smaller and smaller from time to time and at last, I didn't realise that I actually fall asleep and there's only 30 minutes left for the exam! I will start nagging to myself and start blaming myself. The truth is that it's not our body's fault not to be energetic enough on that day but because of our unbalance sleep and rest. That is why we will tend to be so weak. Aiyo, don't force yourself lah! Study smart. If you concentrate in class, you only need an hour to do revision at home. Right?


When the exam results are out, I will usually cry because my marks are bad. Very bad.
There was once, I cried in front of my teacher and said that I didn't do well and this and that. I told her that I slept at 4 in the morning just to read the textbook.


Guess what she actually told me:


Teacher: Uswah, did you only study last night?
Uswah: Yes, teacher.
Teacher: I didn't ask you to revise only last night. I asked you to study from the past two weeks.
Uswah: But I tried my best.
Teacher: You can do better. But your way is unacceptable. I know you can do it.
Uswah: I 'll try by best next time.
Then, I just realised my mistake. I was so ashamed of myself.


One of teacher taught me this 'petua' that can be used for studying:
the DUIT petua


D-Doa
U-Usaha (Effort)
I-Istiqamah(Continuously)
T-Tawakkal(Surrender) 


Like what the title says, "Life is a turning wheel." Exams is obviously a test that we need to undergo as students like me. Life will not stay the same forever. It will always turn and turn and turn and turn until the day you leave this world. Students are students.


"Patience is a virtue." :)


Love,
