SLC-S29/W5-“Thinking and Ideas!|Ideas That Failed (and Why)!”

Greetings, love & respect to all of my steemian friends.

I am @saifuddinmahmud from Bangladesh. There is a beautiful and amazing challenge. The challenge name is SLC-S29/W5-“Thinking and Ideas!|Ideas That Failed (and Why)!”organised by @ninapenda. I hope everyone like my post.

Describe an idea, plan or decision of yours or someone else that failed.

I was very good at English since I was a child. I had a lot of interest in the English language. My results in English were always good in school life. My teachers encouraged me a lot. Many people said that I could be a good lecturer in English. I was also very good at English grammar. I often helped my classmates. Gradually, a dream was born in me that I would pursue higher education in English and one day become an English lecturer in a college or university. I imagined spreading the beauty of English literature, poetry and language to everyone.

But the reality was different. Because if I wanted to earn a higher degree in English, I would have to do an honors and a master's. Studying for such a long time and bearing its expenses was difficult for my family. We come from a middle-class family, where financial stability is always a big issue. The family expected me to study quickly in a subject that would allow me to get a job within a short time after completing it. From that thought, I decided to enroll in Diploma Engineering instead of English Honours. By doing this, I will get the opportunity to complete engineering in a short time and get a job.
This decision seems to me to be a kind of failed plan because it deviates from my personal dream. Because I left behind the subject in which I was most skilled and interested, just in the hope of quick success.

What was the real purpose behind this? Why do you think it failed?

The main purpose behind this decision was to help the family financially and stand on my own feet quickly. As a child of a middle-class family, the sense of responsibility works from a very young age. I wanted to finish my studies and get a job quickly to reduce the pressure on my family. I made this decision based on the realistic thought that Diploma Engineering is a field where one can acquire skills in a relatively short time and create job opportunities.

But my plan failed. My family expected me to take care of the family quickly. The financial stability of my family is a major reason. I could not stand firm in my decision. The conflict between reality and dreams made my purpose fail.

What would you do differently if you had another chance?

If I had another chance, I might have made a more balanced decision. I would have enrolled in honors in English and tried to cover a part of my expenses by working part-time or tutoring. I would have looked for scholarship or financial aid opportunities. You should not compromise on implementing your dreams and plans. I now understand that balancing dreams and reality is the most important thing. You need to make long-term plans instead of making decisions based on quick success. You only get one life, so you should not completely ignore your interests and skills. This experience has taught me that failure is not the end. Sometimes life takes us in a different direction.

Thanks to my dear steemian friends Who read my post.
