https://Voice.club - I couldn’t qualify for the exam again. This was my second attempt. With so much confidence I had told everyone I would succeed, but today I stand in the same place—alone, sad, and wondering what to do next. The hardest part is figuring out how to tell my brother.
My brother loves me more than anything. He works hard for me, dreams big dreams for me, and I try to fulfill them. Some I’ve achieved, but some are still left. I don’t want to disappoint him. The first time I failed, even before I could cry, he said he believed in me, that I would succeed next time. But now, failing again, I feel I’ve broken his trust. Still, I have to tell him.
That night, I gathered courage.
“Bhaiya, forgive me. I couldn’t qualify again. I worked hard, but I failed.”
He made me sit and simply said, “Eat your food, it’s getting cold.” Nothing more. His silence hurt more than words. Did he no longer believe in me?
Later, I overheard him speaking to Mom.
“Mom, I believe she will do it. Next time she won’t just qualify, she’ll get the first rank in the country.”
Tears filled my eyes. I thought he had lost faith, but he hadn’t—he had only increased it. That day I promised myself: I won’t just speak, I’ll prove it.
I worked day and night, sacrificing sleep, and when my third result came, I had not only qualified but also secured the first rank in the entire country.
During my interview, I was asked, “Your journey wasn’t easy. You must have faced struggles and doubts. How did you answer them?”
I smiled and said, “You must have heard the saying: ‘The moon is so bright—don’t talk about it, show it through broken glass.’ But I believe you don’t need broken glass. You can show the moon’s glow in water, in a mirror, or in someone’s eyes. There are many ways, but one purpose.
Today my result reflects my success to my brother, who made me believe in myself. Remember—don’t just say it, show it.”
Thank you.
