Solution
It is true that attitude makes or mars things. I was waiting for my Std X public exam results. I had put in 10 hours of work every day. I was an average boy but I hoped to join the top five any time. The results were scheduled to be out the next morning. I have no internet connectivity at home. But one of my friends had it. His name is Murali. His father had come to my home. When I was out, he had told my parents I had failed in one subject. When I returned home, I found both my parents upset. I asked them what was wrong. They said it was a bad day. I asked them to tell me what was in their mind. They asked me to take things as they come by.
I didn’t understand. My dad told me philosophically that failure is a stepping stone to success. Still, they were not open with me. When I went out for tea, the local newspapers carried Std X public exam results. To my joy, I had passed with a first-class. When I broke the news, my parents disclosed what had upset them. If they had just not reacted to the wrong information, their natural joy would not have been robbed. Now that they knew the information, they were overjoyed. I just wondered at the human capacity to go down in misery and bounce back to extreme joy just by a turn of events. The best course of action to be happy all the time would be to. retain the key to our happiness and never give up on our joy to any external event.
“Don’t take it on yourself to repay a wrong. Trust the Lord and He will make it right.”
