I heard Microsoft is giving a 50% discount for their exams only for the month of August. I took one on the 13th (it was a Friday, too!) and I failed. Luckily my score showed I missed the passing mark by just one question.
I immediately jumped on my books, looked for the answers to those questions I remembered which were strange for me... studied some more.
After a week, on that last day of the discount deadline, I took a re-test.
This time I passed but only by one question too.
Well, At least I attained my dream- to be a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP).
But that's what God told Joseph too, isn't it?
Attaining a dream through hard work and God's grace... that's what life is all about.
Experiencing the failure and the triumph makes us braver in telling others about its truth - first hand!
