Dear diary,
I was just reading my diary from four years ago. How time flies! Back then, I was so disappointed at being too short and failing to get on the basketball team. I couldn’t help laughing at my heartbreaking words then. Basketball was really a big deal for me. But things changed soon after that.
I was so hurt by my failure back then, and my friends were all worried. “Why not try something else, like swimming or skiing ” suggested my best friend. At first, I swam just to take my mind off things. But soon, I fell completely in love with the sport. I’ve won several competitions now and I’ve made a lot of friends. My life has taken a different turn.
It’s great to look back and see my pains and gains with fresh eyes. Growing up will never be an easy thing. But we need to look at challenges the right way.
Now I understand that failure is a part of life. It may fall upon us at any stage in our lives. I have experienced many other terrible moments since then. But I have never felt so bad again. I know clearly that failure lasts just a moment. When one door closes, another opens. Life is waiting for us with many other surprises.
Tomorrow is another day.
