Okay, what I'm going to explain is a time when I received good news, and it was during my teenage years when I was a school student. It was a summer day when I was playing in the playground of our school, and a teacher came and gave me the good news of getting the highest marks in my matriculation examination.

The news was about me topping the federal board, and it made me happy because my father was expecting me to top the board exam, and so were my principal and all my teachers. They had this belief in me that I would get the highest marks and pass the exam with flying colors.
