I try hard, but I fail?

Question

I try hard, but I fail most of time?
People always say "Try your best" or something like that..I do try my best..like on test and such..however, I always fail..I mean, I don't have the best grade like some students in my class.

I want to be a doctor, and it seems as if the grades are killing me..competing with the pre-meds who have high GPAs is a pain. I really want to be a doctor though.

How come I can't get good grades like some people even though I try my best effort?

Any other advice?

Answer 1

We all fail, no one if perfect.


Failure is an event, never a person. ~William D. Brown, Welcome Stress!

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. ~Thomas Edison

Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. ~Mary Pickford

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... it just means you haven't succeeded yet. ~Robert Schuller

You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure. ~George Cukor

Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from failure. ~Kenneth Boudling

It is a mistake to suppose that people succeed through success; they often succeed through failures. ~Author Unknown

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. ~Lloyd Jones

Answer 2

It's not horrible as you think. It's much better than you don't try and then fail. I think that you tried hard, but not your best because you can really sup rise yourself more than you think. I'm pretty sure if you tried and will try your best, something good will happen. Or if I'm wrong, then I guess the things you try to do is too hard for you. I've never been in a situation like this so I'm not sure anything I typed is helpful or makes you feel better. Well, try to look on the bright side. Smile!

Answer 3

Most time when people think that they have failed, they're really just evaluating the situation before everything is complete yet. There's a process one goes through of trial and error with most things and when you do something that doesn't work, that's all it ever is, just you finding a way that wouldn't work. The process is over when you find a way that does. Naturally, it's a common phrase that says "To do the same things yet to expect a different result is insanity" If you want different results you'll have to change your process. If what you've been doing before hasn't been resulting in success, then do something else. Try a new tutor, or a new way to study. Find someone who has already done what you want to do, and use their help. Have them mentor you for a while. Always be sure to explain what's in it for them. Be persistant in this. And do it with confidence. You'll get there as you do this.

Stop trying. Think about this. If I tell you that I am going to try to do something that I know I am not going to do, and I fail to do it, I have built myself an excuse. "I tried!"
Stop trying. It is an excuse for failure, it is a statement that you intend to fail. Get a little self esteem back. Choose a task you can complete, and do it. Then, choose a bit bigger task, more challangeing. Do it. The next thing you know, you can do anything you set your mind to.
As to being a doctor- consider this- 1. Is it a realistic goal? 2. Is it a desirable goal for you? 3. What are the little steps you need to take to get to that goal? 4. What is keeping you from getting to that goal?
I suspect you are setting your own road blocks. Common roadblocks are trying to do too much too fast, taking coursework "out of sequence", worrying about competition, when you should be focusing on your own progress, and a subconcious desire to fail. The subconscious desire arises when you bow to outside forces (parents, teachers, peers) in the process of deciding on a career path. Talk with your guidence counsellor. Talk with your teachers, talk with your parents. Work through this. You will either succeed and become a doctor or you will discover another rewarding career path. Personally, I note that a friend of mine became an aircraft engine mechanic. Some of his clients are doctors. He makes a whole lot more money than the doctors do... and is not exposed to all sorts of nasty diseases in the course of his daily work... He was in school for two years instead of ten. His total student loans were under thirty thousand, compared to 250,000 for the docs... and he is also a pilot, and gets paid to travel...

Answer 5

1...you don't understand what is expected of you for these grades. understanding why a question exists will help to order your knowledge into its answers. THAT IS AS FAR AS YOU NEED TO GO!
2...you now expect to fail, because people become familiar with what they know. solve this by often (daily) practising something you cannot fail at. juggling? memorising a short piece of writing? piano? touching your toes? tai chi? draw a freehand circle? expect to succeed like that all the time. get used to it. 2-3 minutes a day. EVERY DAY! (maybe 6 per week. maybe only 300 per year). get used to it.
3...answer this: WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A DOCTOR? maybe you could achieve your goals without going the orthodox route. there are many therapeutic professions. go no further if you think you as a doctor is a better human than you as an office clerk.
4...every day of your life. that's every day.

Answer 6

dont worry about trying hard and failing- most people do

this,even though most deny this. Never forget,the harder you

try the more likely you will fail;some of us learn from our

mistakes,if we do not then thats when the worry should

start. Concerning ur question why some have good grades,

this could be simply that they were in a family of physicians

or medical suchlike;or that they have studied from the

correct and up-to-date textbooks,and used past papers

to hone their responses.(And it is "simple",this is done

all the time with the approval of the educators).

Answer 7

Don't give up, if you want something really bad then things will fall into place someway, do you know any doctors that you could get to know and tell them what you want and see if they will mentor you? They can help you get use to the language and math that you will need and scientific methods, is there a local college around where you could hang out in a science lab on the computer and get to know some of them? Your friends really do mean a lot in this. Reach for what you want and keep following your dreams.

Answer 8

Do you want to be a doctor or do you want to be a doctor because people are pushing you to be a doctor? What I am sayin is your grades could be the result of what is going on inside of you, the turmoil that is going on inside of you. What do you really want to do? Ask yourself that question and take it from there. Let us say after some very deep soul searching you want to be a doctor, get as many outside sources as possible to supplement your studies. Another thing to do is to change your eating and sleeping and drinking water habits; how we take care of our bodies has a big impact upon our performance and how we feel. sometimes we find ourselves in the vicious circle of trying to avoid what we fear the most that we end up running right smack into it. When all we need to do is to take the bull by the horns and deal with it. The less you think of failure the less likely it is to happen.

Answer 9

Keep studying and doing your best. As long as you are learning and not failing do not get wraped up in a GPA.Once you graduate and are a Doctor your GPA is not posted on your diploma, in fact the only way to tell the top of the class from the bottem (as long as thay both know what thaya re doing) is to ask them .... and honestly how often do people ask thare doctor what thare GPA was.

Answer 10

If you always try hard and fail your exam, probably you should reconsider whether your method of study is wrong. It's no point keep trying hard and don't learn from failure.
