The Power of One More Try

 Ravi was an ordinary student in a small town. He wasn’t the topper in class, nor the fastest runner on the field. But he had one thing that made him different—He never gave up easily.

In his 10th standard board exams, Ravi failed in Mathematics. While others laughed or looked at him with pity, Ravi didn’t let the failure define him. Instead of hiding in shame, he picked up his books and told himself, "One more try. I’ll get it right."

The next year, he studied harder—not just to pass, but to understand. He asked questions, took notes, and practiced every day. When he appeared for the exam again, not only did he pass, but he scored one of the highest marks in his school.

That wasn’t the end of his journey. In college, Ravi struggled again—this time with English communication. During a group presentation, he froze. Embarrassed, he walked off the stage. But again, he said to himself, "One more try."

He joined a public speaking class, practiced in front of the mirror, and pushed himself out of his comfort zone. A year later, Ravi stood on the same stage and gave a powerful speech—this time earning a standing ovation.

Years later, Ravi became a teacher. Whenever his students felt like quitting, he shared his story and reminded them: “Failure is not the end. It's just a chance to try again—wiser, stronger, and more determined.”

Moral: You don’t need to be the best. You just need to be brave enough to try "one more time". Success often belongs to those who keep going when others stop.
