Last month was the first time I realized self-discipline was

an important thing. It was when I took the first exam. It
didn't go well. I told myself, "it's okay, tomorrow is your
favorite subject's exam. Compensate in that." The next
day exam was conducted, but it wasn't easy, and I couldn't
attempt all the questions. I said to myself, "Let's try the
fortune tomorrow." Again I prepared well, keeping hope
that I would do better.
The next day, I took the exam, but I was happy after
the scores were out this time. I thought I'd got a good
score, then I asked others, and I soon realized it wasn't a
great score. I was losing my patience since I studied all
night for the exams, but it still didn't go well. I had
another exam the very next day, and it was our last exam,
this time, I told myself, "Give it a shot. Let's try this last
time."
The last exam, as expected, was very difficult for
everyone. So, I kept writing the answers until the
invigilator specifically call my name to stop writing and
start scanning. Five minutes were left, and It was a
situation where late submissions weren't accepted, and
then I hurriedly scanned the pdf of my answers and
uploaded it. I just submitted it 12 seconds before the
deadline. On that day, I declared myself "self-discipline is
important". What inspires me to do best in my life is that
constant belief.

The Princess and the Magical Ring

In the Kingdom of Norfolk, the princess and her father were

walking through their palace‟s garden when she found a ring. The
king explained that it is a magical ring and it has five powers that
can be used in need but only one power can be chosen. The
powers include making fire without flint, having sound sleep,
growing crops of her choice, showering rains in the sky, and
singing like an enchanted siren to bring prosperity to the
kingdom.
Once a witch‟s spell jinxed the kingdom, everything including
the rain and crops was destroyed. The princess was saddened by
the fate of her kingdom and soon she remembered her magical
powers. She chose the fifth power of singing like an enchanted
siren. She sang for all days and nights even without leaving a
moment for food and sleep.
Even when the king and queen got worried and asked her to
take a break, she was not ready for it. After months of singing,
prosperity came back to the kingdom and everything was
normalized. But the princess was ill by then and she passed away.
The whole kingdom still remembers her sacrifices for the
happiness they are enjoying today.

I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up, And I'll do it a thousand times again. For you
