Solution
I had to participate in a quiz contest to be held on the occasion of Children’s Day. As there was one week to come to that auspicious day, I got relaxed and didn’t touch any of the reference books. My mother kept on telling me to consult a few books for the contest but I didn’t pay any attention to her advice. I had full confidence in myself. I thought the day before the contest would be enough for the preparation. When that day came, I got a severe headache. I could not go through any book. Although I participated in the contest, I did nothing. I felt ashamed of myself.
