I have encountered various situations in my life where I received advice or suggestions from my loved ones. One instance that stands out vividly in my mind is during my university exam. At the time, I was in the hostel, and we all studied together for the exam. However, I was very depressed and sad about the exam. My friend Nancy noticed that I was worried and couldn't concentrate on anything for the exam. So she advised me not to be depressed and to make the most of my talent and ability. She helped me clarify all my doubts, sat with me to do activities together, and helped me memorize the answers with examples. She also created mnemonics to help me remember all the answers easily. She shared stories of famous personalities who faced troubles in their lives and ultimately achieved success. One person she mentioned was Abdul Kalam, and she quoted the words of former President Abdul Kalam: 'Dream, and make it possible.' She emphasized that even when we are asleep, we need to dream. That advice helped me overcome stress, and I ultimately got good results in my exam. I was very overwhelmed.
