A difference of one

The story talks about a high school basketball team player, Joe, lost a game and a science text by one point. After the game, he went home and prepared the science test. But he really felt so tired; therefore, he decided to take a nap. As he woke up, it had been 7 o'clock in the morning. He barely went to school on time. Then the science test began. Of course he didn't understand any question on the test paper. The next day, the grade was announced. Joe was disappointed because he failed the test by only one point. He talked to the teacher, Mrs. Wright, to ask her for help. Mrs. Wright said "Joe, you have to study harder. When the game you played lost by one point, can you ask the referee for help?" Then Joe was silent and understood what Mrs. Wright said.

When failing on something, the most important thing we should do is not to request others to accommodate us but to ask ourselves why we failed. Try to find the reason and solve it. Though losing by just little difference, we still fail, it is a fact. We have to do everything harder rather than ask other people for help. We must change our attitude first as confronting troubles, and then we can learn more things in every problem.
