Don't give any grace marks to yourself: I did a mistake

My dear Stemians - Suppose you got up one fine morning and reached the conclusion that you can plan your life exactly the way you always had in your mind.

 
And the horses of your imagination did not stop here, but made you believe that you could do it based on your own efforts, that too without any outside support.

You also did not see any role of luck or what some of us think is our destiny. Sounds fine, but is it possible?

If you ask me, it’s very much possible. We all have a common knowledge that there is no substitute of our own efforts but to stay dependent on others' help.

But why am I writing this? Because man is born to make mistakes and I did my quota once again.

When we have decided to do something, we know it in advance that we will either succeed or fail to achieve our desired result, maybe not fully but to a certain extent.

I am a great fan of Bruce Lee:

Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it. — Bruce Lee

When we take a risky decision on our own without knowing the outcome, there are only two possible results: either it makes you successful or it fails. But I see a third possibility too. You did not get as much success as you wanted to, but it did not fail, and you needed extra efforts.

Are you feeling like I am talking about the world of fantasy, which is practically impossible?

Let me make it clear that it’s absolutely possible, but what we need to do is to look at our own self with an honest and neutral point of view without thinking in terms of ‘me or mine’, but as an observer evaluating your own abilities.

Or let me make it more precise, like an employer interviewing you for a job.

I suggest that you be honest with your evaluation process without providing any grace marks to your own self because all your future plans will depend entirely on the grades you get.

Here the secret lies in the fact how honestly you did the marking while testing your own abilities after all you have to make plans for your future based on these results.

And why am I saying this? All I can draw is a line or know about graphics, but when I did it on my own last month I knew I could do it from now on-

But can you do it?

Ask yourself, you're the best judge!

The Final result- Yea- I can do it but on my own. If I depend on others, they might leave me midway.
