The only situation that comes to my mind is then when I was in a 7th class. I really feeling very at that moment, enthusiastic and thrilled. At that moment I participated in the inter house chess competition. Because I have seen that every student is participating in the different fields. So I have also taken this step out. Uh, so. But I don’t have basic understanding about this t so my friend told me to learn some techniques and technicalities from YouTube, um, by which you may become more adroid and dero such a um, move and you can win the competition. But as you know that one day practice is not a good you may lost. I lost that tournament and feeling very disappointed and demotivated my father see that I was keepipping me and not taking proper nap. So he asked me.

Well, I've received a lot of advice from different people throughout my life, and it's always been motivating. Since you've asked me to describe a specific situation, one that comes to mind is from when I was in 7th grade. I was feeling very enthusiastic and excited at the time, and I decided to participate in the inter-house chess competition. I saw that everyone else was participating in different activities, so I wanted to give it a try. However, I didn't have a strong understanding of the game. My friend suggested I learn some techniques and strategies from YouTube, which he thought would help me become more adept at making moves and potentially winning the competition. But as you know, one day of practice isn't enough. I ended up losing the tournament and felt very disappointed and demotivated. My father noticed I was downcast and not taking care of myself, so he asked me what was wrong. I told him I wasn't giving up on chess just because I didn't do well in the school competition. He advised me to participate in the next competition, but I questioned why. He said, "If Thomas Edison had given up after his first attempts, we might still be using candles instead of light bulbs." This advice was incredibly helpful and encouraging. It motivated me to participate in the next year's competition, and I actually won! I felt rejuvenated and revived, and I even shared my father's advice with the school, explaining how it had encouraged me.
