[i]Today I got my result for 4th semester of my bachelors degree and its not much good. So I was a bit low and was reading some quotes on internet just to keep my mind occupied and get a bit motivation. Then I just came across a quotations from Robert Brault which goes like "Just once it might be instructive to pretend you're accepting an award for failure, just to see who you would thank." I like this quote very much as it has forced me to think about it for some time. I actually pretended myself receiving an award for my failure and then tried to find out the person whom I should thank. This was really tough on my part, many faces flashed in my mind but then I justified too that they dont really deserve my Thanks for this Award. Finally I realized that I should Thank my own careless behavior for my failures. So I would thank my own self for it.[/i] Well, what about you people? Can you pretend yourself receiving an award for your failures ? And if so, who is the person you would like to Thank? Please share your thoughts. :)

I do not think we pretend as a feeling of awarding, more like to make ourselves feel better. What could possibly be so awarding about failing. hmmm
