bangaloreI am a 17 year old interested in science and a friendly type of person.
I am quite good at studies, I get around in the eighties out of one hundred. Though I study well, one thing that always bothered me was procrastination. I always used to postpone things to the last moment. Though I tried my best to do things on time, it somehow slipped away from me.
I used to look at the top rankers in my class and wanted to be one of them. I always thought that they hid something away from others and that was the reason for their success. Everyone I asked just said work hard and you will definitely reap the benefits. Though I try to give my 100%, due to procrastination I could never give my best.
One day I was in my uncles house, just spending time with my cousins. It was too boring. That was when I looked at my uncle’s bookshelf. There was a book called The Secret. Something made me want to read it. Initially after reading it I felt it hard to believe. I decided to experiment with it.
I imagined receiving a 500 rupee note with a distinct S on it. I visualized and all that but nothing seemed to happen. One day when I was traveling on the bus, one of my earphones fell below my seat. When I bent down to pick it up, I found two, ten rupee notes. One one of the notes was a weird wonky vague s shaped design.
I realized that I wasn’t giving it my all to my desires. I did not thank anyone and neither did I feel happy. I had a maths unit test coming up the next day. I wasn’t at all thoroughly prepared. I had just glanced through the book. I closed my eyes and visualized myself getting an easy paper and doing well. This time I thanked the universe for each and every thing that I had with me. I also made myself happy and joyful.
The next day, when I woke up, I somehow KNEW that I would do well. It was like I had already done well! I went to the class and relaxed. When I got my question paper, I was astonished to see that each and every question printed were the ones that I had studied! I did really well!!
