This made me remember when I first gained admission into the Uni, those who have gone through this particular course were discouraging many of us, saying this course, no one passes it because the questions are so difficult.
At first, I was afraid of failing too but later, I snapped out of my negativity and started studying I had the mentality that “no lecturer would dare set questions not in the course for us... It's impossible. Even if worse, he changed the questions to confuse us. ”
I was determined to pass and not fail and that helped me to put in more effort in reading so hard and I passed it.
I was just reading a book where it says it is normal for a being to fear things but it becomes a problem if you allow it to overcome and control your life.
Yes, to some, fear drives them by working so hard to have the best in the future, while to some, they would allow the fear to stop them from progressing because they are of the mindset that “after all, I would fail, I don't want to waste my time on it” and when you see these type of people, they are the ones who gives unnecessary excuses about their failures which could have motivated them if they know what they want actually.
You are lucky to have your fear of failure push you to succeed no matter what. It's so sad some people could not overcome their fears, their fears overcamed them.
Exactly! There are those who wouldn't try defining their goals and that is what makes life interesting, you know? Everyone wouldn't be the same na! We see things happening and we'd wondered how it ended up for someone bad and the other person good.
Yeah that's true, I can relate well with that type of situation.
No wonder all our fingers are not equal after all 😂.
Hmm.. true words from that book you read. We should not be controlled by our fears but be encouraged to face them.
Omo some lecturers are wicked oh.. I would not say more than that.
@olujay how far Mr Ibadan now
You mean Baba Ibadan😂😂
I remember 200 level days, MCE 202. Virtual work that he was always ranting about. 😂
Wicked man failed a lot of people.
Me I kuku passed it very well, because of his threats.
😂😂 You had to buckle up your shoe and tightened your belt well
Exactly!
😂
😂😂😂 Some lecturers just want some to actually fail but all thanks to God because if you think you can twist questions for me, except you haven't taught me😅😅
Exactly!
This has always been my mentality for the "impossible" courses throughout my years in school and I aced them all. Fear of failing can be a very strong motivator o, forget.
Solid word from that book.
You are right. You wouldn't want to fail at all, so you just had to take your mantle strong 😅😅
