GATE

Rajesh, there are countless examples of people who gave multiple attempts at an exam, at the admission of a coveted institute or a university and did not make it but went on to do other things spectacularly well. If I was to give a list of some of the more prominent names to you, it begins with Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Winston Churchill and many many more. The list of those who are doing fantastically well in other spheres but are hidden from the public eye is way too long. All one can say is that your feeling of dejection and disappointment is understandable. One can well empathise that a lot of effort has gone into this but it is equally important to understand that this effort has not gone in vain, It has already made you stronger and that you only need to recognise that there are many opportunities that are still available, probably better opportunities. So, hang in there, do not lose hope. I would also strongly recommend that you call a relative/friend over or go over to a relative/friend's place. Better not be be alone at such a time.
