Safe?

This shall be the last post of the year talking about my results and studies.
Finally, everything is over and the consequences are clear.
Praying very hard for my Economics hoping that I can get it through.
Of course, last night I calculated what was the minimum mark in order for me to be relatively safe.
All doings are just a form of self-assurance and self-satisfaction, keeping yourself from getting distracted by fear and gloomy feelings.
After all, no matter what results you get, you will need the courage to face it.
Ultimately, live with it, no alternative choices.

Here I am, writing this post from the college library.
This is the first time posting in the library, of course not the school computer.
I brought my laptop in to the library.
Let's not waste any quality time. Here is the review of my overall results.

Biology.
Personally, I did relatively well and I am quite aplomb to grace my results.
From lecture tests to block tests, and finally now, promotional examination.
From single digit to double digit, from Ungraded to Sub-Pass. And of course.
My overall is E. I passed my Biology paper. Finally! Well Done, Edison.

Chemistry.
One word, okay. However, there is still room for improvement.
Need to work very hard on MCQs.
Improving from the beginning of the year though.
My overall is a B. Although I was hoping to secure an A.

Mathematics.
Disappointing. I always wished that my Mathematics would be the one pulling my overall grades up. Anyway, I got an overall C for Maths, with 59 marks. 1 more mark to get a B. A bit effort to be put into class tests and i will not be that disappointed.

Economics.
No comment. Never did the subject well for the year. Expect a C or D hopefully, but my wish is to pass the subject. I did it.

General Paper.
I got a sub-pass for general paper.
and I am happy.

So, overall how did i do? Not bad and not that good. Could I made it through? Probably. Do not worry.

10 more minutes and I need to go to Network meeting. I am going to post an interesting excerpt i read from a book. Here it goes.

"Life is never a bed of roses. We will have successes and failures intermingled in the orchard of life. If we have never failed before, we will not know how to pick ourselves up, and unless we know how to pick ourselves up, we will never be able to bloom as individuals."
That is why it is good to fail now, rather than failing later, but unable to cope such failure as no prior experiences of failing before. That is why the earlier we learn how to handle failure, the better prepared we are for real life.

Failure has to be taught as a stepping stone to success.
