I did my G.C.E. Ordinary Level; International program in 2010. I was very much interested in English literature and decided to choose English literature for my G.C.E. Advanced Level Exam.โฃ
โฃ
My teachers and masters told me it was a crazy decision and I will fail the exam. I had no teachers to teach and I had to study by myself whole two years courses.โฃ
โฃ
Most of my friends said drop the course, and come back to study with them; Sinhalese and Sinhalese literature. But, I thought I am not going to live here in Sri Lanka for my whole life. If so the facto; what am I going to the with Sinhalese and its literature?โฃ
โฃ
So I decided not to change my mind.

Even though most of my teachers and friends demotivated me to quit, but I was so positive โ€œI can do it myself, and I am going to study so hard. I am going to prove to them that I can do it.โ€โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Next. I bought three dictionaries; dictionaries in English literature; Sarasavi Dictionary and philosophy. I started memorizing English words; five hundred words a day (even I forgot most of the words now).โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
I started reading Shakespeareโ€™s โ€œMid-summer night dreams, The merchant of Venice, SONNETS, Great Expectations, Sense and Sensibility and, Pride and Prejudice Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
I even memorized whole books, read dozens of criticism books on them. I made and memorized them.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
In 2012, I sat for the exam and passed the test with 2 As and 1 B.

In 2011 I participated in the national and International English-speaking contests in Sri Lanka and won the first prizes. I won second prize in the contest organized by American Embassy.โฃ
โฃ
I was telling stories in Sri Lankan national and international schools.โฃ
โฃ
At the end of 2012, I decided and returned back to Nepal.โฃ
โฃ
Hundreds of students came to meet me and talk to me. They also brought gifts. Most of them brought pens, pencils, and notebooks. When I counted, the pens only were around 3000. I am not joking. It is true.โฃ
โฃ
The reason I was doing what I was doing was because of my attitude. The attitude that I can do it. The positive attitude.

I also studied Sanskrit until G.C.E Ordinary Level Exam. Sanskrit is very common for Nepalese and Indians. So, I could understand and speak a bit of it.โฃ
โฃ
At the end of every year, the Sri Lankan government organize contests in various of education; speaking, debating, and writing.โฃ
โฃ
In 2010 I had joined the debating contest in Sanskrit.โฃ
โฃ
District level; we won and got a chance to go for the national level.

There were five best teams from five districts. I was from Gampaha District. Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka and, they had the best Sanskrit speakers; most of them were Nepalese and Indians. โฃ
โฃ
Everybody thought they were talented and, they will win the competition. But, they lost. The team from the Galle was won.โฃ

The reason, one of the best teams lost is because of their arrogant and negative attitude โ€œweโ€™re the best. No team can win us.โ€โฃ

John C. MAXWELL says โ€œattitude is much more important than the talents, skills, and abilities.โ€โฃ
