Thoughts can be changed with time

Everything can be changed with time. In fact, change is inevitable as our thoughts change with time. It's very natural our beliefs can be changed with time.

In the past, I used to believe that dominating my emotions and working like a robot could ensure success. Since childhood, I have been an introvert person. I used to talk with a few people and less communication with others. I noticed that my emotions always told me now to work hard and enjoy the time. I knew that it was not the right message, and because of it, I tried to do something against the emotions. By doing so, I noticed that the success rate in work has increased. I started to believe that doing something against my emotions is the thing that can be helpful to achieve success. Temporary success made me more confident about the statement. After I started to believe it, I followed it seriously.

In the beginning, it wasn't something serious, but with time I started to dominate my emotions. I stopped attending family functions, reunion parties, and so many things because I thought all of those were a waste of my time, and to achieve something big, I should avoid such things. I just tried to make my time most effective for my career. As I didn't value emotions, I missed most of the family functions, reunion parties, and spending quality time with friends. In a word, I became a human robot, and I was proud of myself.

The intermediate exam was the most important exam of my career, and I was always serious about it. I didn't slack off, but the result was disappointing to me. The result was good but not so good for what I made effort. I didn't blame luck for it because I think I was responsible for the result. Seeing the result, I was shocked and started to think I made a huge sacrifice for it but the output was not so impressive compared to my effort. I regretted missing many beautiful moments of my life. There was no way I could recover from my loss. I was disappointed in myself because dominating my emotions all the time was kind of torturing me.

Instead of not getting the expected result, I managed to get admission to one of the top universities in my country. But the shock gave me a reminder that dominating emotions can't ensure success, and if I do so, another shock may break down completely. So, I tried to value the emotions also. It was not an easy task for me in that state. It took several years to come from that kind of mindset. I noticed that something giving value to emotions can make me happy. I started to care about emotions, and I think it was not an obstacle for me as long as I could make a balance. I am sure even if I became a failure, I would not regret missing many beautiful moments.

My mindset changed, but still now, in the case of my academics, I am achieving success even if I care about my emotions. In fact, I feel I am happy with such a situation. I learned the lesson that balancing emotions and hard work is the best thing that can ensure success. It's not necessary to be a robot to achieve success in life.
