Whatever happened, happened is for our own good.

I have always believed that, whatever happens in my life, happens for a reason and ultimately, for my good. Probably you can also call it the Karma or Destiny.
This was the Philosophy which guided me (still does) and which I thought was the best way to encounter various hurdles big and small all through. Whenever something bad occurred, I used to comfort myself in this thought. It used to give me the courage and confidence to carry on without being heart broken. I always considered myself mentally strong.
This saying has definitely been true in my case. After my 10th class, I joined a college which hadn't produced much good result in its previous years. Everyone told me that I had made a wrong decision. Some laughed behind me for joining the college and those who liked me, were sincerely worried about my future.
I don't know why I made that decision even today. In whatever way I thought, it was a not a wise one. And I was surprisingly adamant about not leaving that college. None could change my mind and I remained there but, Still i believed the words " WHAT EVER HAPPENED HAPPENED IS FOR MY OWN GOOD".
And once inside the college, I notice that some very intelligent guys(and girls) had joined the college and all the lecturers were good.This was something new world to me because i never had such experience in School days, for me it was like both sweet and bitter. I was happy that my decision of joining this college was not wrong at all. But on the other hand, I thought why I joined this top college, realized a couple of my college mates were extremely intelligent and I was never a topper in my class. Everyone banged me back for not scoring good marks & not submitting assessment on time. Even during the pre-final exams, my performance was not that good i didn't do well in all subjects. So you could have imagined my shock when the results were announced. All my class mates were in top list only me who stayed last in the result sheet.
It was not a full stop for me i tried my best in coming up exams but, still as we all know that "GOOD HAPPENS TO BAD, BAD HAPPENS TO GOOD" This became true in my case when ever i started doing all the assessment no lecturers were ready to collect it. Whenever there is internals(test) & If I prepare & go on that day the test will be canceled for some reason. I never expected that I wanted my name to be in Top list, still as a human being my mind became like TWO faces of same coin. Finally in final year of my education i scored a good marks which myself can't believe it. completed my education now stepping in to Corporate world don't know what is there in front.
