My
dear Ajith,
I
was really shocked to hear from mother that you have failed in the terminal
examination. But what shocks me even more is your idea to give up studies
altogether. Can this be the same Ajith I once knew? The very same Ajith who
used to work so hard and top his class? If a boy like gives up studies in this
manner, then what should the rest of us do?
Obviously
you are indulging in unnecessary self-pity and are refusing to meet the failure
squarely in the face. Every failure has some causes. Have you asked yourself
why you have failed? As it appears to me, your careless approach towards study
has landed you in this terrible mess. At the worst, you might have got into bad
company and acquired some bad habits.
It
is my earnest advice that you take stock of the situation, shake off any bad
habit that you may have acquired and get back to your old way of thinking and
working. You have a good brain. Treat this failure as a stepping stone to
success. Remember, without proper education you will come to nothing in this
highly competitive world. Get rid of
your self-pity and look forward to the future. We are all with you. Any help
that I can personally give is yours for the asking.
Do
write to soon.
Your
loving brother,
DEF
