Disappointment is an emotion that every human being is bound to face. Its one of the wide array of emotions that we have to face in our lifespan. Its intriguing how we as human beings was created. We were designed to experience extreme level of happiness, euphoria as they term it, and abysmal levels of negativity.

Disappointment always arises when our expectations, are not met. Why? life is beyond human's comprehension, and the underlying factors that go beneath it, is alien to me. However, what i can safely express, is that, with the assumption that hard work = results, its imperative that we would expect results when we put in hard work, failing which, would result in disappointment. Let us not worry about what the world, and everyone else would say.

One failure is not the end of the world! Issac Newton is an embodiment of this saying, he was once taunted for failing repeatedly at creating an invention. His reply? "I succeeded in finding 100 ways of which it would NOT work, I did not FAIL." Though this is a far cry from what we as youths may experience, as most of our disappointments and expectations arises from one-off events, a solitary shot, one chance.

Let us not slip into depression, and grow in despondency. Every cloud has a silver lining, sunshine after rain, every chapter, every failure is what let us grow as a person, and let us take heart, that what does not kill us, make us stronger.

As our heart weighs heavy with disappointment, when the whole weight of the world seems to be pressing down on our being, let us just take a look around. All the friendly faces, all the friends we have, all the encouragement. Breathe easy now, and open your heart to the warmth YOUR world has to offer.

Life does not end at one failure.

Get up, and keep trying.
