2nd Driving attempt

Work started in full swing and time passes so quickly. It is one of the rare luxuries that I never get to enjoy back at the ex-company. Back then, minutes passed like hours and hours like days.

Now, a random check on the time will reflect a good 3 hours difference from the last check. Before I know it, it’s time to pack up and hit home! Within the 8 hours, I’m doing a million thing, concurrently.

That’s how 1 month has passed. – without knowing it…

Today’s different.

Today, I’ve taken a day off for my driving test. Unfortunately, I failed the second attempt. I was really confident of this time, thinking that I am more prepared, etc… Still…

This was my worst attempt yet. I wondered why I suck at driving and concluded that my mind cannot be doing only one thing at a time. In another words, I am a serial multi-tasker. To do one thing at a time bored me to death. So while driving, my mind auto-pilot itself to do more than a thing at a time. And most of the time, while driving, my mind auto-pilot itself to day-dream. Its really scary when suddenly, I was jotted out of daydream to force myself to concentrate on the road and one minute later drifting into wonderland like our dear Alice…

(Is it me or it is me?)

But through this, I’ve learnt. We often learn our lesson through failure. I learn how not to be afraid of failing. Many times, the idea of failing is more terrifying than the actual failure itself. I’ll try again.


My 3rd final attempt.
