Don't be sad when you don't get what you want

This is a situation that many of us don't take likely. Assuming you wanna apply for a scholarship and you couldn't get the application fee until after the application deadline. You will surely feel bad, won't you? It's actually normal to feel that way but I will strongly advise you not to let such occurrences or similar ones weigh you down at all. When something is lost and you know it's lost forever, thinking about it makes you feel down and not motivated. When you keep thinking about it, you feel sad; you quit thinking about the future; you quit setting great goals for yourself; you feel that is the end.

But certainly, that is not the end. An anonymous quote clearly stated that: "Never lose hope. You never know what tomorrow may bring". One of the Dalai Lama's of Tibetan also said: "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck". Then, why should you feel bad? Great people don't think about the past because there is already a lot to think about in the future. Never feel sad when you don't get what you want or when you narrowly missed an opportunity because there are still lots of opportunities to explore. Feeling sad won't earn you anything but make you lose the coming opportunities. As a great mind and reader of TOB, I want you to quit thinking about lost opportunities at the very point they were lost and start hunting for coming ones while preparing for the giant future ahead of you. YES, YOU CAN.
