During the tryout, I was so nervous that a big mistake wasmade. Everyone looked at me and my face turned red. I was hurt by my failure. It was painful because I knew I could play well. I was just too shy to showmy true ability. However, I didn't want to give up, so I practised harder and performed in different public settings. Slowly, I got over my fear of the stage. I also started to think about failure in a different way. It became avaluable lesson and made me stronger. Later, I joined the band successfully. Now I understand that failure is a part of life. It helps us improve. Don't be afraid of it! If you believe yourself, you will never be defeated. 21 $
