How to be a person who always satisfied with what she has? ?

Question

i am one of the students who has been included in the dean list in my university. i am very grateful with my result. but the problem is, i become overconfident and always want to be the first. every time my marks for the quiz a bit lower, or i didnt perform well in exam, i will be very sad and sometimes i could not accept the fate. im also a participative student in my class, i always ask questions to my lecturer, and it makes me to be well known to my classmates. im afraid, if i cannot achieve the highest mark, my friends will be saying something bad to me. help me to calm myself down...

Answer 1

Well you are obviously a competitive, enthusiastic, and extrovert student who likes to interact with his fellow human beings.Make no apology for this. I don't like using cliches, but all you can do is your best. I am absolutely certain that most if not all of your friends will not scoff at you should you not achieve great results. If any of them do,then they are not worth having as friends anyway. Try very hard at not being so sensitive,and also try to develop a sense of humour. I am sure you will attain excellent marks,good luck.

You need to rethink your life. Some people are unfortunately met with a compromising event such as a near death experience/accident that make them realize life is too fragile and short to be bugged down by mistakes or regrets.

Ask yourself, did you do your best? If you did, there was nothing else you could have done. If you didn't, take it as a learning experience. How do you think you learned how to walk as a child? You had to fall many times. You care too much what your friends will tell you. I think that is one thing to elliminate--it is a useless response and will do you no good.

In my opinion , society, media etc has programed us to be greedy and more is always better. Doing your best is all you can ask yourself and other ask of you. Take time to enjoy life.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change,

the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Enjoy your journey!

The word insecure is not in the Bible, there are many examples of people who were not particularly satisfied with their lives and with what God had already given them, as a result this lead to all sorts of troubles.  Why would your friends say bad things to you, if cannot achieve the highest marks in school?  You need to be kinder and more compassionate to yourself.  Right now, you are achieving something for a better future.  That takes discipline but not abuse.  There is a difference. One fuels us to complete the task, the other stops us right in our tracks.  I do not know you but you seem wonderful.  I hope you recognize you have all the gifts, talents, knowledge and yes even power to make all your dreams come true, all that is missing is a little patience.  I am very proud of you!
