I've Failed This Exam Three Times and I'm Running Out of Excuses - a story about repeated failure

Failing the same thing more than once doesn't mean you're not meant for it. It means you keep showing up — and that itself is something worth building on.

“If you are always striving to improve, then you are a living embodiment of the Mystic Law. There is no need to feel ashamed of failure. What matters is whether you stood up one more time than you fell.”
